Monty by Jim Meddick for April 15, 2021

I’ll have to admit, I hate it when I procrastinate for nothing at all. Whatever that means.

I recall almost 20 years ago, walking into a post office on April 15th near the end of the day and noticed some guy filling out his taxes on one of the benches.

Noooo. Now you get to procrastinate for TWO months. A bonus!

Doing the tax filing has always seemed like taxing work to me.

Procrastination is at the top of my to do list. But I still haven’t gotten around to it.

The clock and computer match.

What do you mean? Now you can procrastinate even more. Just think of those people who get their taxes done in January. Amateurs.

So, he’ll just procrastinate for another month or so.

A good public service announcement

Last year my oldest waited until the last day of the extension and did not get his refund until December. This year he filed in January and got his refund in February. Moral: don’t put the government off.

File as soon as possible when you are getting a refund. No sense letting them have your money any longer than necessary. On the other hand, if you owe…

I remember some mail-order company back in the day sold a little round sign with the word “TUIT” written on it…so when you ask someone to do something, and they replied, “when I get around to it”, you can hand them…[wait for it]…a round “TUIT”.

I’ll see myself out. I mean, it wasn’t MY idea, but…yes, I’ll see myself out

Kind of risky to do it that way, we had one of our tax forms have a transposed number on it so when we e-filed it wasn’t accepted by the IRS, had to print it out and mail it in.

In Canada we don’t have to file if we don’t owe, so I’ve procrastinated for up to three or four years at times, then I sit down and do them all at once(once I find all the forms!)

gonna begin to begin, tomorrow..

I kinda feel like Moonie; I am a Master Tax-Procrastinator.

But in my state, even though the extension was applicable to state taxes, Estimated Taxes for 2021 were still due today! So all the tax prep wasn’t all for nothing….

People who get refunds usually don’t wait until the last minute. At least, that’s been my observation and experience.
