GREENSBORO, N.C. — It’s only been seven days. Your taxes are due in seven days, and by due, I mean pay up even if you can’t figure it out.
“Keep in mind that an extension is a filing extension, not a payment extension, so whatever money is owing is due,” said Liberty Tax Services’ Ryan Dodson.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your taxes, you may not be able to get an instant response by calling the IRS.
