You got a few extra days this year to take care of your taxes.
Did you get them in or are you still procrastinating?
If you are really one of those last minute folks then you better make sure your return is in either electronically by day’s end or post-marked by the end of the day on April 17th (expect the post office to be crowded).
To help everyone get over the tax-day malaise, there are a number of stores that are offering up free tax day snacks, giveaways, and deals.
Check them out:

Of course, if you haven’t done your taxes yet you better hurry!
If you don’t think you will be able to finish preparing your taxes on time then you have the option to file for a tax extension. Just make sure you pay what you think you will if you expect to have to pay taxes.
