4 Tips for Last Minute Tax Filers
The deadline for filing your taxes this year is Wednesday (April 15, 2009)
at midnight.
Even if you don't think you can file by tomorrow, at least start the process and ask for
an extension. You can get the 6-month extension online, though you will still need to pay
what you owe (or a portion of it) by April 15.
Here are some tips for last minute filers....
1. File for an extension.
Even if you don't think you can make tomorrow's deadline for filing, don't panic.
You have plenty of options to avoid penalties.
You can get an automatic 6 month extension to file your return if you need it.
Applying is painless and will make your tax return due on October 15, 2009 instead of
April 15. About.com Tax Guide William Perez has a great article on
everything you need to know to file for an extension.
However, be aware that the extension is only for filing your paperwork.
The amount you owe is still due on April 15. Failure to pay your tax share may result in
penalties and interest being tacked on to your balance. Even if you can't afford your en
tire tax
bill this month, avoid penalties by paying what you can by the 4/15 deadline, and the
IRS
will send you a bill for the rest later. (Note that there are no penalties if you are owed
a refund but file late.)
2. File electronically.
Whether you want to file for an extension or submit your completed returns by the
deadline,
doing it online will save you time and hassle. You don't have to run to the post office
at 11:59pm tomorrow night like you did in previous years. You can even file an extension
request online.
Start at the IRS website (www.irs.gov), and click on the e-file link in the sidebar.
From thee-file page, you can select the type of filer you are (individual, business, non-profit, etc)
to get instructions for e-filing your return. For individuals, you can use your favorite tax preparation software (eg., TurboTax, TaxCut),
or you can use the online forms (called "fillable forms" in IRS parlance), to file
electronically.
39 states are working with the IRS to allow e-filing.
If your state is one that is listed, you can do all of your tax prep online! If not,
then you will still need to postmark your state return forms by tomorrow night.
3. USPS offices may be open late on filing day.
Some USPS offices will be open past midnight on Wednesday to deal with the late filers.
You can use the USPS' Store Locator to find offices near you.
Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you which offices will have extended office hours on
Tax Day.
Many post offices will NOT be open late, and even if they are, many won't be open
past midnight. Thankfully, you can call1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777)
to get special office hours information for Tax Day.
4. Need last minute help?
Don't panic. If you have last-minute questions about your tax return, you can call
the IRS directly. Call 1-800-TAX-1040 (1-800-829-1040) and get help filing
your return.
After you get your taxes filed by the deadline this year, here's a good project to start
on April 16: find a good accountant, so you don't have to go through this hassle again
next year.

Starting An Internet Business
When you really need to make money on the Internet there are actually only a few steps

The very first thing you will need is a product or service to offer. Among the many things
that you could sell online ebooks are the easiest things to sell. And the great thing is the
fact that anybody could earn money with ebooks, and also anybody can in fact create
an ebook. Just think about what you're great at or even something that you are enthusiastic
about and begin composing a how to ebook. However, don't panic in case you can't or don't
want to produce your own ebook, you could find items to offer on the Internet you can
simply perform a search on a search engine for resellable products.
There are 2 principal reasons why you ought to create or even purchase the master resale
rights then sell ebooks. The very first reason is due to the fact that once you compose or
buy an ebook with master resale rights, there isn't any other costs for that product.
After you have created or perhaps bought an ebook that you are able to market as your own,
you are able to resell the exact same ebook again and again. And that's why those who are really generating an income online get it done by simply promoting informational items.
Another reason why ebooks are a good product to offer is simply because you are able to insert your website links all through your ebooks. This means that not only are you able to earn
money by promoting the one ebook, you may also include links to a different Internet site
within the ebook which offers some other ebook. Which means that you can earn even more
money from the same customers.
Secondly, you will certainly have to have a domain name and website. Creating a website is
actually the most effective way to market your ebooks, whether you merely generate mini
web pages for every ebook or if you use your website to make a blog, you're most certainly
going to want a website. It's not necessary to spend any more than $ 10 per month on
your website hosting.
In order for you individuals to consider you an expert you actually need to have your very
own domain name and website. By using a free website can in fact push people away from
your site without purchasing your items. Given that they can identify that it is a free site and
they will not take your company seriously.
It is also easier to have your own site indexed by the various search engines.
One more thing you need to have integrated in your website will be some form of customer
monitoring system. By doing this you will be aware of where you get your traffic from as well
as exactly where you need to be concentrating your advertising and marketing spending budget.
Yet another great advantage of figuring out exactly where you get your traffic from is so that you
can stop spending time as well as money on marketing that's not really driving any kind of
visitors to your website. You will find free monitoring services on the Internet, you simply need
to look for them and discover the one which will function best for your needs.
At this point the very last thing you are likely to need to be successful on the Internet is
targeted visitors to your site. So the very first thing you want to do would be to submit your
site to any and all the various search engines as well as directories you can find.
This can end up being extremely time consuming, however, it is going to be worthwhile over time.
The main element to your success is to begin obtaining as well as sustaining targeted traffic coming
from the various search engines.
After you have submitted your website to the various search engines as well as directories,
it is now time to concentrate on link building for your new website.
The easiest way to perform this is to apply article marketing. You merely generate articles
about 400 words long and publish them to any and all the article directories you can locate.
Then in the authors resource box make sure you add a link to your new website.
Not merely are you going to receive visitors from the article directory sites but in addition
individuals may possibly like your article and put it on there website,
which of course will include your authors resource box, building you even more links for your
website.
Article distribution can also be a powerful way to receive the attention of the various
