Every year, thousands of people find themselves unprepared to file their taxes. If you are one of them and simply fail to file your taxes, then you will have to face the wrath of the IRS.

You can file the Form 4868 and receive an automatic 6-month extension on the filing of your taxes. The only caveat with this option is that you must file for an extension by the due date set forth by the IRS.
