Everyone send in there forms today?
I filed for an extension....phuque 'em!
-
My CPA wired-in the forms.
I snail-mailed a personal check.
It doesn't really mean a thing, but it takes a few extra days for the leeches to get my money.
Not a lot of satisfaction attached to that action, but you take what you can get.

Months ago. ;D

I owe 'em about 750 bucks and I have it, I just don't feel like giving it to them right now! I'll pay the extra penalty, just 'cuz I can...
I've always paid my fair share but lately I feel that we're no longer being represented so why bother.
Taxes bring in 2.3 trillion dollars and they spend 3.6 trillion! At what point does my 6K or 8K a year matter anymore!

Out of that about 4 Trillion goes to non Social Security "entitlement" programs.
Social Security, and Unemployment are our own money , (workers and employers pay into a specific fund and the money is returned ).
The rest of these programs should be ended .
The people existing on them will either find jobs, or they will die.
Either way the problem solves itself.

Here is a Libertarian view on the tax situation...particularly forcing you to pay your "fair share" at the point of a gun.

LP CHAIR: "Violence is No Way For Civilized People to Get Their Revenue"
WASHINGTON -- In light of tomorrow's personal income tax filing deadline, Libertarian National Chair, Mark Hinkle, released the following statement:
"While everyone needs revenue, only criminals and politicians insist that they have to get it through violence. The criminals, however, do not pretend they're doing it in order to serve the public, and taxes make politicians public masters rather than public servants.
"Certainly, the present size of government at all levels depends on taxation - not only the explicit kind, but the invisible kind that the Federal Reserve System imposes through inflation of the money supply. People probably wouldn't voluntarily pay to bomb, invade, and occupy other countries, bail out large banks and other corporations, and try to dictate the personal choices of others. Good riddance! Government-monopolized services such as education and health care could be provided for less than half the cost if they could be returned to the voluntary sector of society with cost-raising regulations abolished and incentives restored. Both mutual aid groups and charitable donations filled gaps prior to the rise of the Welfare State for those in need with an efficiency that is impossible when those in charge of aid get more money and power for themselves the worse the job they perform. We'll have to take some personal responsibility for our own lives and stop using the excuse Ebenezer Scrooge made that his taxes supported institutions for the poor so he could ignore them.
"It is obscene for those claiming to protect life, liberty, and property to obtain their revenue by violating life, liberty, and property. There are plenty of ways to obtain revenue without force: insurance, user fees, advertising, lotteries, and donations are already used by many local and state governments for a good portion of their revenue. Let them be true public servants and live within the means that these sources provide. People might even pay more voluntarily once they're no longer forced to turn over 1/3 to 1/2 of their wealth to governments.
"Ultimately, it is about the type of society we want to have. We can accomplish a lot voluntarily when we mutually respect each other's lives and property. It begins by respecting the right of people to keep the fruits of their labor. A good start would be the abolition of the personal income tax, which only adds insult to the injury of theft by invading every part of the taxpayer's privacy as well as making the second week of April a misery instead of a time to enjoy the early spring."

I've been planting flowers this morning! Having put off till October what I would have given the IRS, I spent forty bucks on annuals, seed and mulch to beautify my little world!

I filed for an extension....phuque 'em!
The year of the fire I was going to file for an extension. However, I needed all the same information to create an estimate that would avoid penalties and interest, and then the double paperwork - once for the extension and then for the actual return, I decided to just do the best I could and get it done. With the busy winter schedule on the farm, the building project, zero previous records except for worksheets from the accountant, dealing with multiple vendors who did not see the urgency, and the earlier deadline for business, it was not a fun year - And I actually started trying to recreate things in late August.
-
Got mine done a couple of weeks ago. Next year I'll procrastinate!
-
I got mine done early. Like February. I got a refund for the first time in 6 years!!!! Gotta love that mortgage interest deduction. ;D
-
I had all of my 1099s, w2 etc. by the 27th of Jan. Did them that night and had my refund by the 15th of Feb. Spent it all by the 17th.
-
I got mine done about 2 months ago and got a refund. Later on I got another $6 for EIC that I didn't think I was eligible for. That was a nice surprise but not much to celebrate.
-
Hi;
I waited until today to get taxes prepped and will get back money from all 3 entities. Expect to get the money in 3 weeks according to my CPA. That will be just the right time. 1st week of May I go on Vacation for a week - with what I will get back in refunds I can spend more at the Vets and Bar's on Base and still have plenty to cover any unforseen things that may pop up.
Actually, the refunds will pay for a new roof and heating oil for next winter.

Sent the bstrds a check today. I have had to bend over further and smile broader this year and next than I ever had to before. Scrw the government.
-
I had everything done, just never filed until about 2+ weeks ago. Got both Fed and State refunds and moved them to savings.
Since I was unemployed a lot of last year, and took money from my IRA (without penalties) and withheld taxes, I actually made up for the bit I worked, so a nice refund.
They are sitting there in savings building up so that Heaven forbid I ever go through that whole unemployment thing again, I have a little something. At least until the Feds find out I have money just sitting there, and they decide to spread it around to someone else! >:(

If pay roll deduction were eliminated and everyone had to write a check at the end of the year you would see two things:
1) IRS would be swamped with delinquent accounts
2) There would be a huge outcry from those that have to pay taxes for reform.

I gave them mine at about 11:50 on the 17th... The good news I made alot last year, the bade news is I gave ~38% of it to them to waste...
