CHICOPEE, Mass (WWLP) - April 18th is fast approaching, and that means time is running out for those who have yet to file their taxes.

Andy Pignatare is a Certified Public Accountant from Pignatare & Sagan and he says try to meet the deadline because if you don't...it sets you up for more paperwork that includes penalties and added fees.
Pignatare also reminds you to explore what energy credits you might qualify for and how a qualified tax preparer can help convert some of your money to an IRA or a Roth IRA to pay the least amount of tax possible.
