National Tax day deadline... and google.

So it's time to file taxes and like any good normal guy what do I do? I wait until the very last minute to do my taxes. So I tried to at least be a little smart about it and e-file. But there's an issue and I need to file for an extension. So I try to e-file form 4868. So naturally I'm on the IRS website and I keep running across sites and I check approximately 12 of them before i figure out that to e-file form 4868 is not free, on those ones at least. Uh-oh what now? Well I turn to my old buddy Google. I love to google things and see what turns up. Well I google "e-file form 4868 free" after searching for 10 minutes on the wrong file. At first I kept typing 4898. So I stumbled on a link for yahoo answers and one of the amazing people that replied to the question that was posted by someone who decided to do exactly what I was doing (waiting until last minute and finding the easiest way possible without going somewhere and standing in line). This person said try taxact.com. Bingo... I logged in and it was very simple. I signed up for a free account and it asked which form i wanted to fill out. It was actually very easy. 15 minutes later (it would have been 25ish minutes but I'd already filled out the information 12 times on the other websites) I was finished. Not only was I finished with my extension form but the site would email me and send me a text when the form was accepted by the IRS. It's definitely something I recommend and will more than likely use next year. Thanx to my good buddy google, I am yet again taken care of.
