In the USA – it is TAX day!
Do you have yours done? Mailed?
I learned many ages ago to not fret about April 15th because I learned about extensions.
If you do a calculation of your owed tax [if any] – and pay that – you can file for an extension to do the whole thingie of form-filling-out work later..
It always amazes me that people drive to an open mail collection box right before midnight and often wait, car running, to approach the nice postal worker who will take the tax form and be sure it is postmarked April 15.

Who are those in line at midnight?
-
Who does taxes by hand anymore?
-
Why don’t they pay and file an extension?
If you know the answers, please comment…
Thank you.

I had mine done before they even started processing them. Then, while mine was sitting with my tax processor, mine was selected for early processing to test their systems. And I got my refund the first week of February.
Go me!
I love working for myself, because come December 31st, I know EXACTLY how much I made, and I don’t have to wait for an employer to send me a W2!
Thank you for the comment…
I agree. Mine were done and e-filed as soon as possible. I have some income that generates needed forms, but I have everything else set to go and as soon as those arrive, I plug in the info and hit send! And even those bits of info are available by Dec 31st – but admittedly I wait for the official forms to make sure the info I have is correct 🙂
Yes go YOU!!
