THE TAX DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR SOME PEOPLE
The tax deadline has passed but you can still file as soon as possible to avoid any penalties and interest.  For people living in Illinois, If we have requested an extension for you the deadline has been extended to February 3rd, 2025 due to FEMA declaring a disaster zone due to storms in July.  The IRS will still charge you a penalty and interest for money you owe them that wasn't paid by the April 15th deadline.
