Tax Extension Center continues its daily series dedicated to The Top 100 Reasons to File a Tax Extension. Our aim is to inform taxpayers that a tax extension can be a valuable tax season option because it saves time, stress, and even money.

For you last-second filers, the desk will also be open on Saturday, March 13 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All times are Eastern Time Zone.
The help desk phone number is 1-866-255-0654.
In case you need more time, there’s always the option to file a corporate tax extension. That will give your company until September 15 to file taxes.
