WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today encouraged taxpayers who have requested an extension to file their taxes to consider using the IRS Free File program and other resources on IRS.gov to help them file their taxes during the summer instead of waiting until the October deadline. There is no need to wait if taxpayers are ready to file their taxes.
