I have always had my stuff ready to give to the CPA by late January. Now I'm dealing with a bunch of clowns that, unless they can be coerced into selling a few projects, have forced me to file extensions and consider Sept. 15 as my filing date.


I'd get super ticked off after completing a return to file, only to then have to file an extension, forget about it for a few months, and then have to go back and file with updated info. Or being told to file the return as is and then have to go back and file an amended return.

That would suck. I'm always pretty considerate of my CPA because I view her as a potential cellmate after the audit.

Paying taxes is patriotic.... I love writing that check and fully support the EITC! .......

Really, if taxes weren't taken out of people's payroll check and they actually had to pay the full amount... there would be politician's heads on spikes in Washington.

I know someone (not a client) that does this every year. They file in January, then every mid-September they get a small K-1 from a 1 percent interest in a family business, and they just file an amended return and if they owe anything, just pay that with interest.
