It's tax day
 

Just wondering how many of you waited until the last minute to file your taxes (Like I did :o ).

I would have mailed them sooner, but since I owed $95 I didn't really have much of an incentive to. I would have gotten a whopping $9 back from the state, but I decided to donate it to the non-game wildlife fund instead.

There where several people at work who owed money and thus waited till lunch today to mail them out. A group of 6 or 7 all took a van to the local post office.

Yeah, I had to walk the new lady over to the Post Office so she could mail her's out (she also owed). The line was quite long, but moved pretty fast. I'd wait until the last day too, if I owed the IRS money. They don't need it any sooner...

I received both of my refunds over a month ago and it has already been spent.

Re: It's tax day
 

I still havent sent in my taxes. Good fight?

Re: It's tax day
 

You did file for an extension, right? If not.. you're an idiot.

Re: It's tax day
 

Yeah, I am a procrastinator and haven't done mine yet. That is tonights project! I have started on them, but this business thing makes it much more difficult. I was used to spending 30 min on the 1040EZ :D

Jana, you worry too much! Do you think they actually look at the dates of all the envelopes that come in? As long as you get them sent by Wed, you will be alright.

How can you guys leave it go?? I just don't get it....

Re: It's tax day
 

i guess some people liek spending more money withthe goverment with all those late penalties???

Re: It's tax day
 

My dad owed 2 years ago, mailed in on the last day, but it wasn't postmarked until the next day. Yeah he got a penalty for filing late. They do check, probably can't check them all, but they do enough, the IRS is fucking greedy!

Re: It's tax day
 

I got my mine done in feb and I still haven't got any of my returns..

Re: It's tax day
 

I haven't had to pay in and have never had an issue. That is probably because I don't owe them money though. I may do an extension this time though. I don't know if I can get them done tonight or not, and that is the longest I would push it.

Re: It's tax day
 

I had mine done by the last week in January and got my return deposited into my account the friday before the Superbowl... Consider it spent.

Re: It's tax day
 

I always do mine right away in Jan, but thats b/c I never owe (yet).

Re: It's tax day
 

I did mine last night, and it said to print and send in a signed form cause I didnt have my tax info from last year to electronically sign. I can't find it anymore, but I dunno.. i think it processed?

Re: It's tax day
 

I did mine on turbo tax about 2 months ago but just sent them today. I see no problem with waiting until the last minute to send.... if you owe, but I like to know earlier how much it's gonna cost me. I only owed 170 (total)... so it wasn't too bad.

Re: It's tax day
 

I did mine right away and do that every year. Its too much of a clusterfuck waiting until the last minute.

Re: It's tax day
 

Nah I was waiting for my new check book to come in ( I havent used checks in months, since my other pack ran out) and I was expecting them here by today, so now that they aren't here I have to deposit my money into my dads acct tomorrow and have him write the checks.

I owed 750 - I have 2 dsms.. I don't have cash like that just laying around to give the IRS! I had to find ways to get extra money. So no, not an idiot.. just poor. I wasn't expecting to have to pay in 750. I have until midnight tonight. ZZZ so Good fight!

Re: It's tax day
 

You do know that filing an extension is only an extension on "filing". If you owe money, and don't file the proper paperwork for a payment plan, you will be hit with penalties as well. So while leaving them go is fine, just make sure you don't owe money. I'm sure if you are getting a refund they could care less (why would they... they get the interest on your money!).

I can understand it's hard to come up with that much money to pay in, but why wouldn't you make sure you are claiming the right about to begin with?

That's all I'll say, and now I'll shut up. ;)
