3. Just click on Complete Form 4868 to start the process. It’s pretty easy and straightforward. If you owe tax to IRS, you can pay it electronically too.

Just two months ago, we posted a deal from low-cost carrier Skybus: Skybus Airlines: One-way flights for $10. Unfortunately, Skybus announced on Friday (4/4/08) night that it would cease operations on Saturday, April 5. You can read the original report from MSNBC here.

According to the report, if you have made any reservations for flights on or after Saturday, you should call your credit card company for a refund.
