The deadline this year is Tuesday April 18.

Who all is waiting until the last minute?

As for me, I got them done well ahead of time, about 30 minutes ago.

Dumb soon to be ex wife didnt give me her tax shit, and filed single through turbo tax. The software dinged her for the obummercare fine. Something to the tune of $1000.I tried to tell her she needed to do shit manually to not pay it, but being the stubborn dumbass she is, she filed and is paying the fine.

Finished mine a couple months ago, but I didn't schedule them to take payment until now. They won't get my money until the absolute last second.

This. They took $41,000 from me this year due to a distribution and obamacare penalties, but at least my house is paid off.

I filed for automatic extension on friday. My 2nd largest source of contract work for 2016 still had not provided documentation.

Oh - it finally arrived in 4/16 mail. Upon reviewing it with my own records it claims I was paid 142% more than the sum of the payments I actually received.

In the last 8 months the number of "totally WTF?" issues that have happened with this company has really gotten out of hand.

Me thinks they are about to get fired because it isn't worth the extra BS factor, unless I raise my base rate by at least 300%.

I'm soooo close to just doing a document dump to the CO Dept of Revenue. They will strip the business to the bone like a school of Piranhas if they smell tax fraud ( Not paying full tribute to the state.)

I've filed on the day of or day before the deadline a few times, but got mine done early (week and a half ago) this year.  Did state by hand because fuck paying another $40.  Got rejected for incorrect math (that the form did for me) and had to re-submit a couple days later. Glad I didn't wait longer. Do you get a penalty if you file on the last day and get rejected?

How is doing in manually vs using software going to keep you from getting dinged? Either you had insurance or didn't/

As to the OP. I did mine last week. I knew I was going to pay but didn't want to wait to the exact last minute to submit them just in case they got rejected.

The Tulsa downtown post office used to do a thing where they stayed open until midnight on April 15th.

The local news channel would be there. The post office employees handed out hot chocolate and donuts...it was a party.

I saved all my one-penny postage stamps one year and plastered them all over the front and back of my envelope to the IRS. One of the postmasters was laughing his ass off while he hand-cancelled each and every one the stamps and stuck it in the bag.

...they quit doing that years ago.

I never wait until the last moment - my accountant probably filed an extension the first day he could

Not really rich enough to need an accountant, just decided to get one when I started renting the house I couldn't sell when moving (US mil).  His paperwork got me about 6k more in return than the one I did, so I've used him ever since.  Now, with 2 houses being depreciated for between 5 and 8 years, I CAN'T leave him until those houses are sold (no idea how much depreciation has been done on them).  I usually get right on the tax paperwork and get it off to him promptly at the end of August...

If today is anything like yesterday, I'm going to be up to my eyeballs in W2's, 1099-R's, and other tax forms. (I do taxes for a living.) Yesterday, I worked from 9 to 9 and barely had time to grab lunch, which I had to scarf down between clients over the course of a couple hours. Today, I'm scheduled to be open 9 am to 10pm, and I doubt I'll have time for anything more than a snack or two throughout the day.

For me, this time of year is the time I get to see clients I like. The ones who come in earliest in the season are most often the takers, who can't wait to get their $7,000 "refunds" from the $10,000 they earned during the previous year, or the ones who undoubtedly lie about their "self-employment income" so they can get money for not having really worked at all. The people who file at the last minute are usually the ones who've been busting their asses for decades, making decent money, and end up having to support the clients I see in January and February.

(Mind you, not all of the early filers are welfare leeches. Some are actually working, but can't seem to get ahead. Unfortunately, the leeches seem to outnumber the good ones, and they are the ones most vocal about "getting back their money.")

This is an often overlooked reason for filing as soon as you have your documentation. I see clients every year who've had to file a paper return because someone filed using their SSN. In fact, I have a client due in at 9 am so we can call the IRS regarding the letter they sent, in which they asked for proof of the dependent and income the fake filer had claimed. If you do end up owing, you still have until April 18th to pay, so, if nothing else, filing early gives you time to budget any tax liability you have to send the IRS.

Careful. If you're cash basis and they're accrual you will see differences like that.

All of you still using TurboTax need to look at H&R Block SW.  It has been a smooth sail for me three years in a row and it is cheaper.  

I did mine on Friday and just kept kicking up the IRA contribution until my taxes equaled zero.  It kept going and I am getting over $400 back which is rare for me.  Then I had to go to the bank Saturday to actually make that IRA contribution.

Looks like them Larue parts are now paid for.

I actually believed when I was younger that no matter when you did your taxes, we all got our refunds at the same time after April 15th.

This is the first year I was informed and filed them the 2nd week of January.

Prepared mine back in February but didn't submit it until this past Sunday because, as usual, I owe money.  The good news is I was only $733 off with my quarterly payments compared to the prior year where I was off by $2,800.    In my defense, I took a rather large contract job on in December 2015 and it was one of those pay by the hour things.  Rather than adjusting my final quarterly payment accordingly, I opted to pay the tax due with my income tax return.  My main goal is to pay enough throughout the year to avoid the underpayment penalty!

You could have still waited to pay them. You can file at any time after the IRS begins accepting returns (January 23rd this year) and still wait until the last day to pay them.

I could have used that link about this time yesterday. :/

Fuck spending money to figure out how much money you have to give to someone else.    I honestly don't understand why people don't get violent over this shit.   If the government doesn't know how much they should be getting from me, they shouldn't be entitled to any of it.
