eTax.com Prepares for Extended Tax Filing Deadline

March 23, 2017

The deadline for filing tax returns has been extended to April 18th, 2017 and eTax.com is prepared to handle all customer returns right up to the longer deadline. Generally, federal tax returns are due on April 15th unless that day falls on a weekend or holiday. This year, April 15th is a Saturday, so tax returns should be due the following business day. Because Washington, D.C. will celebrate Emancipation Day on Monday, April 17th, this day is not considered a business day. That moves the tax deadline to Tuesday.

Taxpayers must file their federal (and in most cases, state) tax returns by the deadline to avoid penalties. A six-month extension is available to taxpayers who apply, however this extension is only for filing. All taxes must be paid by the original deadline.

eTax.com offers an easy to use web-based application for taxpayers to file both state and federal income tax returns. With excellent customer support and a wide library of articles on tax-related topics, eTax.com makes tax season simple. The software offers step-by-step instruction, and ensures maximum refunds with accurate returns. Taxpayers can even use the variety of financial calculators to determine the amount of different credits and deductions.

eTax.com is ready for last-minute customers who need to file their returns. The service is prompt, and customers just need to input their relevant information. Electronically filing is the best way to ensure a last-minute return makes it to the IRS on time.
