Need more time? FileLater helps you file for 6-month tax extension: 20% off for Walletpop readers

It's tax time and there's really no way you could miss it, what with "I've got people" commercials and college students dressed up as Lady Liberty hawking tax prep services on every corner. As April 15 marches closer, the lines at local accountants will be getting longer and prices will also increase. You may want to think about filing for a tax extension with the IRS.

This is where FileLater, an online tax extension processor, steps in to walk you through the process of scoring a 6-month tax extension.

Filing for an extension is great for those of us who started a new venture sometime in 2008. If you're dealing with additional pre-tax income like me, you may want an extension so you can meet with a CPA when the dust settles and find all the deductions you can to offset what you owe.

Yes, it's true that you can file for free by yourself, and if your taxes are the same as last year, you're lazy, or you can't find all your documents yet, this is the simplest option. But for more complicated returns, there are definite benefits to be wrung from e-filing for an extension.
