Taxes: April 18 Deadline Do's and Dont's
The IRS is giving you an extra three whole days - until April 18th - to prepare your tax returns, thanks to Washington DC's celebration of Emancipation Day. That's good news for the millions of Americans who wait until the last two weeks to file. (According to Turbo Tax, 27 percent of all taxpayers wait until the last two weeks to file their returns!) I discussed ways to start and complete the mad dash with WCBS2.
