Why do people wait this long??? You had 4 months to get it done. :uhh:
They don't want to pay.
They will still have to pay, no matter what. They could still "file" their taxes, print out the payment slip (I forgot form number), and wait to mail that until the 15th.
Or do your taxes, write the check and don't mail it until the last day!

One of my brokerages sent me a corrected tax form just two weeks ago. I'm so used to getting last minute corrections from various places, I've learned my lesson and always wait until the week before to prepare my returns.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18199088 Thu, 19 Apr 2007 12:45:12 EDT Re: Why? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18196687 jsouth : Some people may not have the money to pay until then also.

Sorry, but computers select audit candidates and that is months after the filing date. Filing at the last minute with the other procrastinators doesn't improve your chances of not being audited.
I'm gonna go with Carter on this one, a CPA I know suggests filing not quite in the flood, but at least waiting until mid-March, so that the flow gets a little more volume. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18196434 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 23:23:32 EDT Re: Why? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18196188 TKJunkMail :

Because if you file during the flood, you are less likely to get audited (says an Enrolled Agent I know).

I challenge anyone out there that could point out any investment vehicle that would make it worth it waiting UNTIL THE VERY LAST DAY (as opposed to 24 or 48 hrs before deadline)to file. If you found a stock or a bond or a mutual fund THAT GOOD where you're loosing more than 0.000001 cent by not filing at the last moment, please do let me know!
For many, "it's the principal" of giving up the money before you absolutely have to.

Dude you're the one that needs to wake up. if they're filing with turbo tax they gotta have a vcr and a computer. so some how they can figure that out
There are plenty of people that have computers and use Turbo Tax that haven't a freaking clue. Perfect examples are the ones that pay for the quick or accelerated refund options (which is just a step away from those "payday loans" places).

The two things don't go together when filing your tax return. You can file your return anytime, either on paper or electronically, and then pay at the last minute.

The easiest way is to file electronically EARLY, but set an automatic transfer of the money from your account to the IRS for the last or next to last day. All electronic filing programs allow this.

You can also file your return early on paper, and then mail the separate voucher with your check at the last minute.
Dude... There's people out there who's VCRs (yeah, some people still have them) are still blinking 12:00.

Simple: if you've overpaid (i.e., you're due a refund), you file as soon as you get all the requisite forms; if you've underpaid, you do the filling out of your taxes at any point between 01/30 and tax day, then file your forms on tax day. After all, why would you want to pay even one microsecond sooner than you had to?

It isn't Turbo Tax as much as it was all the dummies waiting to file until the last few hours. They deserve what happens to them, if anything.
