Tax Procrastinators, Never Fear: FindLaw.com Is Here to Help April 9, 2013 9:01 AM
Are you a tax procrastinator? Are your clients? If so, FindLaw.com is here to help.
For the first time in three years, Tax Day actually falls on April 15 this year. (Recall that over the past two years, Tax Day was pushed back due to a local holiday in Washington, D.C.) So come Monday at midnight, your completed IRS forms should be in the mail or e-filed.
