This Important Tax Deadline Is Right Around the Corner

There's a reason so many Americans dread the month of April. That's when taxes are typically due (there was an exception in 2020 as well as this year because of the pandemic), and many filers routinely find themselves scrambling to meet that deadline.

In fact, some people don't manage to file their taxes on time, and those who land in that boat can request a tax extension. The IRS is very flexible in this regard. You don't need a specific reason to ask for more time to get your taxes done. All you need to do is request an extension by the original filing deadline, and you'll be granted an extra six months to get your return in.
