    Default tick tock - 2 days to go till April 15th ...

    ... I just finished all of my tax filing paperwork, signed the tax payment checks to the IRS and NY for way more money than my Subaru just cost me ........ now I can't decide whether to cry or puke my guts out, because it's clear that I can't afford to retire until next year !

    I know how you feel Melonie. I wrote the checks yesterday and mailed them today. Maybe we should run off to St Louis because Missouri loves company.

    I feel your pain. I signed and sent off the checks last month.

    The good news is that I had to pay out less in taxes then I have in previous years. The bad news is that the reason I paid out less was because I made less then I have in previous years! GRRRRR.

    It irritates me too, to have to cough up that kind of money that I worked for, to only watch others collect free money from the government for sitting at home doing nothing.

    If it hurts too much to do the checks at once, do an intstallment agreement. Sure, you're financing at about 6%, however that's not too terrible a rate. And as long as you keep to the agreement, the IRS won't send you nasty late notices.

    Personally, tomorrow I'll be putting my return on extension, so now I'll need to file 2001, 2002 and 2003. The good news is that the first two of those returns are finally done, I just haven't had a chance to mail them, and the third one is close to done.

    NVJosh, just keep in mind that the 3 year statute of limitations doesn't start ticking until you actually file your returns ! At the rate you're going, you're wide open for an audit going back to high school !

    Mel....I graduated in 1979...those years are long closed.

    You're right about the statute, however I have evidence for everything on my returns, and I'm small potatoes to the IRS (I think I'll owe about $500 with the interest and penalties between all three years and have exposure for maybe another grand). Doesn't mean I'm doing the right thing, because I'm not, I just get so tied up with other people's returns that I don't do my own.

    Josh, maybe you need to hire an accountant. LOL
    I know a fair CPA in LV.
    My pain is just kicking my self in the behind for a bonehead mistake because I got too busy and forgot to do something.

    Josh, We made a deal with your lovely wife. You will be denied sexual relations until you file your taxes and are banned from ALL SC's until you are paid up.



    This has been a test of the IRS's Ironic Recovery System. If it had not been a test you would have been instructed to turn your radio station to KPLU and chill out.


    PS Kat, Joshiepoo has a somewhat logical excuse. Since his balance due is quite small and he is steeped in his busiest week of the year, his opportunity cost of doing other taxes this week is considerably higher than his savings in IRS payments. I imagine he will bill considerably more than $500 today.

    Actually, 4/14 is the worst day...4/15 is more for crises than anything else (like our tax program crashing repeatedly today...oy!). I've got one more estimate to calculate and then I'm done...of course, I did spend the morning running around to clients. Got a $175K extension payment from one and was able to lower a $70K extension payment from another to $10K, which made them very happy.
