Tax Extensions Can Be Filed at ExpressTaxRefund.com Through April 17th

MINEOLA, N.Y., April 13, 2007 -- Not everyone is ready or able to file their 2006 federal tax returns by this year's deadline of April 17, 2007. Fortunately, clients of ExpressTaxRefund.com (http://www.expresstaxrefund.com/news) can get an automatic six-month extension of time to file their taxes by e-filing a Form 4868 by April 17th.

To get started, taxpayers can simply log on to http://www.expresstaxrefund.com/extension.cgi, click "open," and fill out the ExpressTaxRefund.com Extension Wizard. Those who prefer not to e-file can still fill out the Form 4868, print it, and mail it to the IRS by April 17th.

ExpressTaxRefund.com spokesperson Michele Tyson cautioned taxpayers that a filing extension does not equal an extension of the time allowed to pay.

"The IRS does require taxpayers to pay at least $1 of their anticipated tax liability when they file the Form 4868," Tyson explained. "They then have an additional six months to file and pay the remainder of their liability."

ExpressTaxRefund.com has been making it easy for its clients to file their tax returns and tax extensions since 2002. Starting at $29.95, the company's tax filing services are fully automated, thanks to ExpressTaxRefund.com's proprietary software. The innovative process walks clients through a simple interview, checks for errors and inconsistencies in the answers, and instantly fills in the correct IRS forms, which are then ready to sign and mail or e-file on the spot.

With reports of identity theft on the rise nationwide, ExpressTaxRefund.com has beefed up its security system and practices. The site runs on secure socket layers (SSL), the same technology financial institutions use to safeguard client information online. What's more, ExpressTaxRefund.com limits employee access to client records, allowing only key employees to view client information, and then only when authorized by the client.

Because ExpressTaxRefund.com knows it can be daunting to file an extension with the IRS--after all, most taxpayers want to do everything right and avoid penalties--the company provides its clients live telephone assistance by tax experts. The service is available seven days a week via a toll-free number and is completely free of charge.

"Even with an extra couple of days to file this year, some taxpayers will find themselves unable to file their tax returns with the IRS on time," said Tyson. "We at ExpressTaxRefund.com want them to know they have the option of extending their filing deadline. That can be a big stress relief to a lot of people. We invite taxpayers to come see how easy it is to file a Form 4868 at ExpressTaxRefund.com."
