Tax Time Again

[blhowes]

Have you done your taxes yet?

This year, I put it off to the last minute. Bought Taxcut yesterday, and e-filed my taxes this morning. If I would have known I'd be getting a refund this year, I'd have filed the end of January like I usually do.

Are you the payer or the payee this years?

I'm with you. If I knew I was going to pay, I'd wait just as long as I could.

That's usually how it is for me, up here in Taxachusetts.

I actually got some back this year b/c too much was withheld. That's better than paying, which I had to do a couple of years ago (seems I owe the state every year) but I'd rather get nothing back and pay nothing, or maybe at most $100 either way. Getting a refund basically means that you made an interest free loan to the government.

Filed an extention because we owe $2,200.

I absolutely hate the IRS. I want tax reform yesterday!!!!

Refunds are always nice, though I would prefer to have the money earning interest all year...

Adam, What kind of tax reform are you looking for?

 

[ReformedWretch]

I kind of like the idea of a "flat tax". I certainly do not believe the more money one makes the more taxes they should pay. I've worked hard my entire life and I don't think the government should then punish me for that (or anyone else).

Actually my brother gave me a good book to read that makes a lot of sense. So that means our government will never submit to it's ideas. Check out the website here:

Regardless of an extension, if you know or suspect you owe taxes, the amount you owe is due on April 15.

From the IRS:

Please be aware that an extension of time to file your return does not grant you any extension of time to pay your tax liability.

Taxes have been done for a month now...we were able to pay brother in law back for moving us here.

Yea Tom I know

I am filing a payment form though as well and it takes the IRS months to get back to you regarding that so I have a little time.
