IRS officials say choosing to file electronically is still the best step someone can take to make sure their tax return is accurate and complete. Those who insist to file a paper return are being reminded to check their numbers carefully, especially when it comes to ID numbers like Social Security numbers.

IRS officials also say those who file for an extension should be reminded that such an extension only covers your time to file, not time to pay. Those concerned about not having enough money to cover tax payments are being urged to go to IRS.gov and check out the "1040 Central" section to learn about options.
