Getting last-minute taxes done right
MOSES LAKE — The April 15 tax deadline is just one day away and across the nation there are still those who might not have filed yet. Pillar Rock Accounting’s tax expert Mandy Schuh said it is ideal for taxpayers to have all their tax documents together by April 1, but if there are any issues in making deadline, there are still some steps to take to avoid being late. “If they’re getting close to the deadline, then they’re going to want to extend, and there are some options out there that they can extend on their own for free,” said Schuh. There are two ways an individual can request an automatic six-month tax-filing extension, according to the IRS website. The first is to use IRS Free File at IRS.gov/freefile and the second is using File Form 4868, Automatic Extension of Time to File.
