Taxes

[Brad Adams]

So how many of you have waited until the last minute to get your taxes done?
Just got back from the accountant myself.

[Pat Barry]

What have you been waiting for? Me, I'm an early bird. E filed them last night, right after the Masters

[Dipan Patel]

Not only do I wait until the last minute, I file for an extension every year. I also overpay every year so it's not like I'm depriving Uncle Sam of interest...

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I intentionally over pay each year. I would rather they owe me than me owe them and have to come up with the money at the last moment. I got my refunds a couple weeks ago.

[David Masters]

I'm early this year, I just walked them down to the mailbox. Unlike Ken, I unintentionally over paid this year. I like to run a deficit just like Congress.

[Jim Koepke]

Like many others we prefer the IRS send us a check than us having to send them one.

We usually like to get our taxes done early but due to having to wait for some late forms we didn't file until last week.

I am taking a small break from working on mine right now. All of the calculations are done, I just need to transcribe the numbers to the official forms.

Lifetime Turbo Tax user and I always try to owe but balancing state and fed is something I've yet to figure out. I owe $1.8k to fed but $1.6k refund from California so I guess ultimately I owe. Got my state refund a couple weeks ago...fed gets theirs on Wednesday.

[Bruce Page]

I got my refunds several weeks ago. Like Ken, I don't like surprises so I over pay a little every year.

[Tom Stenzel]

Normally I paid the bills and did the taxes but when I started chemo my wife took over the bill paying. I still did the taxes but now don't know where all the needed receipts are.

I had the forms all finished and filled out, then my wife would say, "Did you include the money we spent on XYZ?". Well, of course not, is there a receipt someplace? Then when she would find where she put the papers and I would redo the forms. This happened three times.

I thought I was ALL DONE yet again and had it ready to mail Satuirday. What shows up in the mail? A 2014 1099-MISC (postmarked April 9th). More work for the shredder, more forms to fill out. Had I sent them in sooner I would have had to send in an amended return. And probably pay a fine even though I was blindsided with a late 1099. For an amount that I'm contesting; I'm not sure if I ever got that money.

I mailed all that junk today before I looked in the mailbox for more garbage to arrive!

I efiled mine last week but my neighbor came knocking on my door at 8 this morning with a smile on her face and paper in her hand. Do you know how to do taxes she says, so I invited her in gave her a cup of coffee and down we sat at the computer, a pot of coffee and 2 hours later I e filed her taxes, she was happy $844 fed refund and $44 from the state, now she's gonna take me out to dinner. So I'm happy too.

[dennis thompson]

Owed a lot of money, so I mailed them in yesterday, thanks to Turbo Tax I'm still able to do them myself, but it sure get's more complicated each year.

[Gary Yoder]

I guess I'm the odd one here, but I filed my taxes toward the beginning of march. I hate having those things hanging over my head.

[Rich Riddle]

We get K-3's every year which arrive AFTER April 15 every year so that means we file an extension every year. Sounds silly but the government acknowledges that it allows folks to send out K-3's after April 15. We have to pay estimated quarterly taxes for January through March 2015 tomorrow so that's always fun.

Ugh... nothing like waiting until the last minute and not even knowing if it can be done. What if you couldn't help her? <sigh>
