People unable to file their 2024 tax returns by the due date next week should consider requesting an extension, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

“With the April 15 tax deadline fast approaching, Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers there is still time to file their federal income tax return electronically and request direct deposit of any refund,” the IRS said in an April 8 statement.
