It's getting down to the wire, and maybe the fear of filing your taxes has pushed you to push it off. But with online tax filing services that allow you to electronically file and to get the answers you need to complete your return, preparing and filing your taxes doesn't have to be such a nightmare.

Going online is an easy and convenient way to prepare and file your return. With services like TurboTax for the web, there's no need to download or install software. You can use any Internet-connected computer anytime, day or night, to prepare and file your taxes. At TurboTax.com, you can try before you buy.

Some last minute filing tips -- be sure to e-file your returns before midnight April 15th. If you can't complete your return on time, it may be a good idea to file for an extension. The IRS offers an extension of four months after the initial deadline in April. But note: if you owe this year, your payment must be postmarked by April 15th, even if you have filed an extension.
