The 2011 tax season is coming to an end and the Ramstein Tax Center wants to remind you to get your return sent in before it is too late. Although the IRS gives Americans living overseas an automatic two-month extension until June 15, if you owe on your return, interest begins accruing April 17. The Ramstein Tax Center is located in the Ramstein Legal Office, Bldg. 2137, across from the Southside Gym.
