Today is April 18, 2011 and you must file your taxes by midnight if you are a sole proprietorship, partnership, or other form of business organization that is not incorporated. You do have an alternative and that is filing for an automatic tax extension, good until October 17, 2011. If you can’t file your taxes today, you do need to pay as much of your tax liability as possible. Otherwise, you will pay interest and penalties on what you owe when you do pay up.

All the forms and instructions for filing the forms for the tax extension are here.
