With the IRS tax deadline of April 15th on the horizon, procrastination may actually turn out to be a good thing for some taxpayers who have not filed yet.

It is well after the tax deadline of April 15th and you suddenly realize you have not sent in your taxes. What now? Know what to do and what to expect.

The deadline to file your taxes is by midnight on April 30th. As many as 10 million returns are filed in the final week, about 40% of all the returns the Canada Revenue Agency receives each year. Are you one of these late filers?

The Tax Filing Deadline has been extended for 2011. Find out when the new tax deadline is, and why it is being moved.

This is just a friendly reminder that if you haven’t made your IRA contribution for 2011 yet, the last day that you can do it is: April 17, 2012. That is Tuesday. The reason for the change is that April 15 (the usual deadline) falls on a Sunday, and April 16 is a Federal holiday in Washington DC. As such, you get an extra two days to make your IRA contribution. Don’t miss out!

A lot of folks don't realize that the deadline for contributing to an IRA or recharacterizing IRA contributions is not at the end of the year.

If you itemize on your taxes and were worried about filing in time because of the delayed start to filing season, you're in luck. The IRS announced an extended tax filing deadline today for 2010 taxes in 2011.
