THESE AMERICANS STILL NEED TO FILE TAXES BY APRIL 15 DEADLINE
Daniel Geltrude: The biggest question, Maria, that people have been asking me, "Do I file on April 15th or do I wait until May 17th? Isn't it great I get this extra time?" Well, it depends. So if you are due a refund, you want to file your tax return as quickly as possible. So if you haven't filed yet, file today. However, if you're going to owe with your tax return, then you want to hold off and take that extra time because they're giving you a month, take advantage of that.
