Tax Tips: Where to file your return
Filed under: Tax
This will be the last official "Tax Tips" post for this tax season. If I haven't helped you by now, I don't think there's much help I can offer you. So for this final post about taxes, I offer you one of the most important pieces of information. Where to file your tax return.
The IRS makes it easy for you. You can start on this page and then select the option that fits your tax situation. For individuals, you select your state of residency, and then you're given a list of addresses depending on which form you're filing.
And if you're still not done with your taxes, your best bet is to probably file an extension. With this form, you'll get an extra six months to file your taxes. But if you will owe money, make sure you send it with your extension. The longer you wait to pay, the more interest and penalties you will pay in the end.

I have several properties. was told I had cancer. I was very I'll. I thought I was going to die. I put the properties in muy sons name . He recorded one to the recorders offoce. The rest he did not record. I lived and am putting the houses back in my name. Are there tax consequences when it was mine and they are coming back to me. My son lives with me. it stayed in the family. How can I do it and not have tax consequences? Thank-you
