Tax deadline near for filers who sought extensions

BIRMINGHAM, Al.
Time is running out for about 125,000 Alabamians who still haven't filed their federal income taxes for last year.
The Internal Revenue Service says Monday is the deadline for individuals and small businesses to file tax forms if they requested a six-month filing extension in April.
The IRS says its e-file and free filing options are only available through the deadline on Monday. More than 1.7 million Alabamians already have used IRS e-file this year. That's an increase off 8.4 percent over last year.
