If you are still scrambling to finish income tax return before the final _1_ tomorrow, you're not alone. NPR's Craig Windham reports the Internal Revenue Service _2_ to receive 35 million returns following the final days before April 15.
如果你仍努力在明天的最后期限前完成所得税申报表,那你并不孤单。据NPR新闻的克雷格·温德姆报道,美国国税局预计在4月15日最后期限前几天会收到3500万份申报表。
More than 90% of the nearly 100 million returns _3_ so far by the IRS have been filed electronically. That makes the process easier, but tax accountant Linda Domoller says return _4_ at the last minute tend to have more mistakes.
国税局收到的近1亿份申报表中,有超过90%的申报表是以电子方式提交的。这使过程更容易,但是税务会计师琳达·多莫勒表示,在最后时刻提交的申报表通常错误也会更多。
"Why always tell people don't sign until you're sure and don't do anything _5_."
“所以我们才经常告诉民众在你确定之前不要提交,做任何事情都不要着急。”
To buy more time, you can request automatic 6-month extension of time-to-file through the free file link at IRS.gov. But Domoller says you still need to pay any tax you own with extension request.
为了争取更多时间,你可以在国税局网站上点击免费申报链接,要求自动延长长个月的申报时间。但是多莫勒表示,在延长申请期间你仍然要支付所得税。
"Any amounts you don't pay on time, you could possibly be subject to penalty and definitely will be subject to the interests."
“如果你不按时支付金额,你可能会被惩罚,而且你的利益一定会受到影响。”
