Deadline to file tax returns has many scrambling

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — People have until Tuesday to file their 2013 tax returns and many are still scrambling to get it all done.

A new report shows your chance of getting audited this year is lower than usual. Budget cuts are making it harder for the IRS to police the tax returns.

This year the IRS will have the fewest agents auditing returns since the 1980s.

Last year the IRS audited less than 1 percent of all individual returns -- the lowest rate since 2005 – and this year that number is expected to be even lower.
