It's tax day - Page 2

DoughtCom · 04-17-2006

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.

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

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.

I claim ONE. I planned to move out this year, but since I didn't my parents decided they were going to claim me. It's better to pay in because then the governement doesn't make more money off you with interest and you dont have to pay the penalty for state because you got a refund from the feds. You just have to be a little better planned out than I was. I totally forgot I was going to pay in!

If you don't owe them money, then it doesn't really matter. You have 3 years to get a refund from the normal due date to try to get your money back.

They don't penalize you if you don't owe right?

Why wait though? Its free to do online and should take 20-30 mins for most people on this board.

They are done. Enveloped and everything. I needed my dad to tell me what goes where and I didn't have time to meet up with him until today, and after all the other running around I was doing I lost track of time and didn't get to the post office on time. So I was going to just buy the stamps from the machine but I was confused and didn't know what ones I was supposed to get. So I was like "uhh fuck this" and went to the UPS store, but that was CLOSED to. So I have to wait until tomorrow. Thats why I ask.

jana are you an tax person or something... You seem to know your stuff.
I'm excited because my dad is a CPA so no more long days for him (and no more of him waking me up at 5:45 with the garage).
I was talking to him yesterday about being late. He said if you didn't owe it really didn't matter because it is a % of what you owe which they charge so if you are getting money back it will be nothing. Also for everyone that is late try running it through a post meter that you could back date, I don't know if it will work but it may.

Now off to spend my 300 or so...

It's ok. I don't owe anything. And it's not even a big enough of a return for it to matter. Meh. I did it cause I actually had 10 minutes to spare but no printer.

I went in to see my CPA last week, I’m getting almost $4000 back. I was way to lazy on getting taxes done, oh well.

A//// Guy · 04-17-2006

Yea I was going to do mine earlier but I did mine last week, pretty easy stuff just followed last years copy... Getting about 450 back which is cool, too bad its already spent.
