Have all you slackers filed your taxes yet?

[NightWatcher]

I've been done for twenty minutes now. What's taking you so long?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. They aren't due until tomorrow. What's the rush?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

12. As long as you get them done and postmarked by 11:59 p.m. on the due date, you are on time. NT

"Doing them late" is getting them in after that.

[Kali]

25. this

plus there is always extensions

[Blues Heron]

2. don't try to use hrblock with osx 10.6.8

found out the hard way, had to scramble. lame interface as usual once i got it going on another machine. been done 2o minutes too

[Doreen]

6. Liberty Tax is better.

Then again I worked for them in the past. Of course I was the Lady Liberty waver but hey. The Liberty tax preparers are trained longer and more extensively than H&R BLOCK preparers.

[get the red out]

3. 3 weeks ago

Glad to be done.

[luvMIdog]

4. My marvelous and wonderful son in law did mine :)

He's so wonderful

[Lotusflower70]

5. Lol

I filed in January. It was weird to have tax day after Easter. Poor accountants are so busy this time of year.

[Doreen]

7. I had my brother who is a tax lawyer do them after two weeks when the season officially started.

[Grammy23]

8. Mailed last week. We owed no tax and not due any refund

so there was no rush to get it done sooner.

[NightWatcher]

10. I owe $400, and I can't massage my deductions anymore without fibbing.

So I'm glad I'm done

[petronius]

9. Busted mine out on Saturday! I know it was ridiculously early, but April 15

just felt comfortably traditional...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

11. I got mine done Friday.

I know, I have until tomorrow. I wanted to have everything away, so that I'd have 96 hours to remember that one thing that I had forgotten. So far, I haven't remembered anything.

I didn't get some needed forms until the end of March. One consolidated 1099-DIV didn't come in until March 27.

Last year, the same outfit issued its final revised 1099-DIV on August 29, over four months after tax day. It has issued earlier versions early enough for me to do my taxes.

[Shrike47]

13. February. We got our refund several weeks ago.

When the money's coming our way, I like to hop right on them.

[louis-t]

14. Hey, I got mine in the mailbox before 1 pm.

EDT. So bite me. I got the same letter from drumpf threatening me to pay up bigly, or else.

[Mollyann]

15. Mailing tomorrow

I have bare minimum deducted from my pension. Spouse receives social security and has no taxes taken out. I can't get him to retire from his job so we are having to cough up an additional five figures in addition to his work with holding. I put off filing as long as possible, so will be mailing it in tomorrow. Golf cart rental fees for secret service have to come from somewhere.

[Yonnie3]

16. I've been done a month.

I plan each year to owe a bit and this was true this year. I usually hold them until near the due date and send in with my check. I went ahead and mailed them in early because the bank pays stupidly low interest and I might forget them.

BUT, over the last four months I've been working on 2013 through 2016 returns for a self employed relative. For reasons he is unable to explain, he just quit doing them. I started with tubs of receipts and statements plus a Quick Books file which I can describe (with great charity) as untidy and incomplete. It took well over 200 hours to sort this out. I've been done about a month, so the brain dead seems to be going away.

So I can say, YES, I've filed taxes, and taxes, and taxes, and ...

[applegrove]

17. I was done in ten.

[MissB]

18. Since I have to pay, they go in the mail tomorrow.

Been done for about six weeks.

[Ron Obvious]

19. Had to file an extension

I was going to be done exceptionally early this year too, almost a week, when I tried importing final data from a financial institution and Turbotax popped up a message: "Turbotax can't handle more then 3,000 transactions. Go to turbotax.com for a refund and fuck you."

Bloody Hell! What's a mere 3,000 transactions to a modern computer? And this is the top of the line version of Turbotax already.

What a pain.

[Iggo]

20. Heheheh...no.

[haele]

21. Back in February.

Why wait and maybe forget and actually owe something? As it was, I didn't owe anything, and got very little back anyway, because I review my taxes and fiddle with exemptions every quarter just to make sure I get more in my paycheck. Having a CAC-enabled HR portal to do everything paperless and provide digital signatures really helps.

[hibbing]

22. Paid to get mine done

First time I have not been able to do them myself, which sucks since I don't make very much money.


Peace

[steve2470]

23. filing tomorrow nt

[John1956PA]

31. Mailing mine tomorrow, too.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

24. I had mine done back in mid February

I always do them pretty soon after I get all my tax documents in the mail. Got all my refunds by mid March (state and fed).

[samnsara]

26. i have already spent mine, what took y'all so long?

[TalenaGor]

27. I owe 600 and can't afford the 75 turbo tax fee till Friday 😕

How much trouble will I be in for being.g a few days late?

[forgotmylogin]

34. Usually a late fee, unless you file an extension.

If you're confused at all, don't be afraid to consult the IRS. It's always better to keep in touch with them if anything is awry. They can help you work out payments if necessary.

https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/telephone-assistance

I applied and tested for an IRS job (the people who answer these phones, basically) and learned they're not vindictively out to get you, but the worst thing to do is wait too long before notifying them what's up; they will patiently get their money with your help or without. My neighbor is having hard times and was too scared to call about money she owed in back taxes. Then she deposited a check in her bank which was garnished 100%. I made her call them to ask if they could work out a a less severe garnishment (there was nothing else they could do worse) and someone helped her work it out pretty much immediately.

If I remember correctly, I think Turbo Tax has a part near the end where they offer to help you file an extension.

[d_r]

36. Send in the extension form

It will say you have to send in estimate of payment but just send in the form anyway. That will give you until October. They will charge you a late fee, but it is better than fee for not filing on time.

You can get the extension form at irs.gov

[TalenaGor]

38. ok thank you both!

[underpants]

28. Mailing them tomorrow

I got two raises last year and didn't adjust my withholding. We're usually good at getting it just right but this year we wrote a $1,500 check.

[Lebam in LA]

29. Did mine Feb 3rd and had my refund

in the bank in less than a week

[doc03]

30. I sent my taxes in on January 20th and mailed my 1st quarter taxes

for 2017 last week.

[forgotmylogin]

32. I got my refunds the first week of February.

I love online filing! This is the fastest they've ever come back.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

33. Mine were done about two weeks ago.

I always have to wait until the end of March to get all the paperwork I need, which is a bit annoying. I pay to have mine done and it's well worth it.

No refund, but I also didn't owe anything.

[d_r]

35. Jokes on you

Mailed mine this afternoon.

[Kennah]

37. Did ours on Saturday. Getting back a whole $4. Paid $193 to have it prepared. (n/t)

[TexasBushwhacker]

39. Filed mine online on the 10th

I've been checking "Where's my refund" every day. I'm so broke!
