The clock is ticking down to tonight's deadline for filing your 2008 personal income tax return.
You have until midnight tonight to mail or email your return -- but -- Roger Haineault of Help For Taxes tells Tide News there are some people who have a little longer to file. Anybody who is self employeed or their spoused have until June 15 to file.
Haineault says if you have a refund coming and are late filing -- the government won't give you a hard time -- but -- if you owe money and don't file by midnight tonight -- you will be hit with an immediate five percent late filing penalty and one percent per month there after.
