Tax Doomsday Is Upon Us

This is the day millions of Americans dread.  It’s time to pay Uncle Sam.

Your taxes have to be filed by midnight.

But do not panic if you miss the deadline.

You can ask the IRS for more time, but it will come with consequences.

You can get an extension, but that is only for filing and not an extension to pay.

Not paying on time will make you liable for both interest and penalties.

They can add up to 25 percent to your tax bill.

You can file for an extension on IRS.gov through the Free File link.
