Hangnail or Taxes?


The downside to not getting a newspaper or watching the evening news is missing all the community reminders.

Like the one that says, "Only 2 more days until your taxes are due."

And the other one that says, "Only 1 more day until your taxes are due."

And the final one that says, "The post office will remain open until 11:59 p.m. tonight for all you last minute filers. Don't forget, if you file for an extension you still owe the estimated tax. And make sure you use the 39 cent stamp; Uncle Sam won't pay the postage!"

I can't believe it is April 17th already. A 2 day extension and I still don't have my taxes done. The TurboTax box has been sitting on my desktop for more than a month. Oh well, as soon as I am done ripping out my hangnail, I'll start on my Schedule A.

It's 12:14 a.m. on April 18th. I didn't make it. I almost made it as my return was done and I had uploaded my filing along with an AMEX number to pay the balance at 11:59. By the time the file processed it was 12:01 on the 18th and I had scheduled the payment for the 17th - 2 minutes earlier. Computers being what they are rejected a payment dated the 17th being processed on the 18th. Late!
