Last Minute Tax Deals

Apr 03, 2009 Sun

The deadline to file your tax, April 15th, is less two weeks away. It’s time to get the work done.

I got my TurboTax software and all the files/documents I needed and started our taxes in early February, but haven’t touched them in more than a month after I found out that, like the past couple of years, we will again owe a large amount of taxes. So there’s no motivation for me to finish it early. So I will probably do what I usually do: wait till April 15 to send out my returns by mail.

Have you filed your 2008 taxes? If not, here’s some information on where to shop for the tax software at the last minute or get answers for your tax questions.

Where to Buy Tax Software

In case you still haven’t gotten your tax software yet, there are a few places you can buy either TurboTax or TaxCut, though the deals that let you get the software for free or at a very low price  after rebates are probably gone.

Where to Find Tax Advices

I found that the best places to get free tips and advices on taxes is, of course, IRS.gov. At IRS.gov, you can find daily tips for most issues you will have with taxes as well as latest information on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. IRS also developed different “What if” scenarios for people facing difficult times financially. If you adjusted gross income in 2008 is $56,000 or less, you can even file your federal return for free with IRS Free File. IRS has reported that visitors to the website has increased 24% this year compared to a year ago. So be sure you check it out.

In addition, there are some other information you probably can use as well:
