IRS Extends Tax Filing Deadline

Already done.  Already got my returns.

Have to submit a 1099-X for a late-received form, information I have to report, but may not owe anything on.  TurboTax informs me that the earliest I can get the ball rolling is March 25.

ahhh... our overlords are so kind...  

Lol! They are about as kind as Ramsey Bolton from Game of Thrones, who had his stepmother and new baby brother ripped apart by vicious dogs.

exactly... that was w/tongue firmly planted in cheek...


I love this line from the OP link:

*** dying lauging ***

the IRS wants to help? doesn't this guy remember one of the greatest quotes from the Gipper (ironicallly coming from "the government")?

Ronald Reagan wrote:The nine most terrifying words in the English launguage are, "I"m from the Government and I'm here to help."

Well at least the employees there have gotten friendlier over the last few years.  I've noticed that when I've had to call them or when I've had to deal with a particular issue.  I certainly wouldn't trust them as an organization though.

All hail Biden The Merciful!

Anyways, I did my taxes immediately just to get it done with.  I'm glad to have that behind me...

IRS: "We're so generous here. See? You all have an extra month to pay the same, maybe even more."

The tax deadline this year for filing 2021 taxes is going to be April 18, 2022.

Waiting for all of my 1099's and whatnot....

I thought the deadline in prior years was April 15th. Are they really calling 3 days an 'extension'?

Well last year they extended it until May....this year is just a token extension because there's some Federal holiday ("Emancipation Day") that falls on April 15.

LOL, we need "Emancipation Day" from taxation and from this WH, but that's another story....
