The 2008 federal "Tax Day" is Tuesday, April 15, prompting procrastinators to cram in order to make the tax deadline. However, taxpayers can file IRS extension forms before tax deadline.

The Internal Revenue Service announced the launch of a simple electronic tax filing system that small tax-exempt organizations may use to comply with a new law requiring them to file an annual return.

The recently completed 2007 tax filing season set a number of electronic records, highlighted by over 76 million electronically-filed individual tax returns and more than 140 million visits to IRS.gov, the Internal Revenue Service said on May 15th.

Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) apologized to Lacerte, ProSeries and TurboTax customers affected by the slowdown in the company's electronic filing system on April 17.

Taxpayers who were unable to e-file their tax returns Tuesday using Intuit Inc. software products have until midnight on Thursday, April 19, to file their returns, the Internal Revenue Service announced Wednesday.

The Internal Revenue Service announced today that more than one million business taxpayers have electronically filed tax returns so far this year. Corporate e-filed returns have increased by nearly 50 percent over this period last year.
