It’s not too late to file your taxes.

Life is never put on hold, even for tax season. Before you know it, the April and even October deadline fly right by. Then, you forget to file it next tax season and then the season after that.

However, although the deadlines go by, you should still file your prior year tax return. Here are some reasons why.
