Haven't Done Your Taxes Yet?

Recommended Posts

Well, ladies and gentlemen, there are only 10 days remaining until your IRS tax returns are due to be postmarked in the mail.

If you aren't ready yet, go see the link below, to get an automatic four-month extension on your time to file - to August 15th.

Form 4868 (pdf file)

Then, quit procrastinating, and get to it!

Why would I have them done? There is plenty of time left....


No, seriously, I just got the return filed for my trust fund....numbers that I need to do my personal return...so I am going to be scrambling the next two days to get it done. I don't even have Missouri's form yet....that is not a good thing....

I am a procrastinator. I have my stuff ready to go, and will probably do my taxes tonight when I get home from work.

Beware: I believe that if you get an extension to file, that does NOT mean that if you are going to end up owing money to the IRS, you get an extension to pay it.

If you don't file on time, but get an extension, and it turns out that when you get the taxes filed by that later date, you owe, say, $1000, you will not only owe that money, but a penalty on top of it.

If you get an extension, the money you will have to pay them is nonetheless "due" by April 15, and the "penalty" clock starts counting then, not your extension date.

Believe me, because I did end up paying a penalty after I filed for '03.

I hope nobody at the IRS ever gets to drink tequila at all.

You can save that penalty and most of the interest if you send in very reasonable (i.e. good faith) guesstimate of what you're going to owe. If you end up owing $1000 and you send in $50 that's not good faith. If you end up owing $1050 and you send in $1000 that would be good faith.

I'm probably having to do that for my dad this year; one of his pensions still has neither sent nor faxed one of his 1099s. Dammit. One more try for the fax.
