Can you mail your federal taxes late if the due date falls on the weekend or a holiday?

Everyone listed on a tax return must have either a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). If you're not eligible to receive a Social Security number from the Social Security Administration, then you must apply to the IRS by way of Form W-9 for the IRS to assign an ITIN to you.

How can I tell if I will owe taxes if I have 3 jobs to file?
Sometimes taxpayers with more than one job don't have enough income tax withheld by their employers. The filing requirement for Single under age 65 for 2009 is earned income of at least $9,350. The Single standard deduction of $5,700 plus the Single personal exemption of $3,650 total $9,350, which zeroes out that amount. Any amount that you have above $9,350 is taxable.
Depending on the amount of tax withheld from your three jobs, you either will owe or will receive a refund. You also might reduce your tax by certain credits, such as earned income. If you're working more than one job and you owe a significant amount of tax on your tax return, you should adjust your withholding with your employer.
For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 919: How Do I Adjust My Tax Withholding?
What is the application form for identification under the income tax act?
Form W-7 is Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. An individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) is issued by the IRS. It's for federal tax purposes only.
The IRS assigns ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who aren't eligible for a social security number.
For more information, go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics for Topic 857: Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) Form W-7. Also go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 1915: Understanding Your IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
Start by gathering together all your tax information. Decide whether you're filing electronically or on paper. Determine whether you're using Form 1040, Form 1040A, or Form 1040EZ.
If you're filing on paper, be sure to attach any W-2 or 1099-R forms to the return. If you're filing electronically, you keep W-2s and 1099-Rs with the rest of your tax records.
If you owe tax, include a check or money order payable to the United States Treasury. Although you don't have to include Form 1040-V Payment Voucher, the IRS encourages it for more accurate and efficient processing of your payment.
If receiving a refund and you want it direct deposited, be sure to fill in the appropriate lines (73b-d on Form 1040, 46 b-d on Form 1040A, 12b-d on Form 1040EZ).
You can find answers to your questions in two direct ways. One, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. Two, visit their website at www.irs.gov.
