Quick Glance: I received a tax extension last year and am glad I waited to file my taxes.
  • I normally take satisfaction in keeping up with my tax returns and filing them on schedule.

  • In addition, we spent some time discussing tax breaks for self-employed individuals.

  • In fact, I normally have to pay quarterly estimated tax returns, in addition to state and federal taxes every year.

  • While I don't encourage doing anything at the last minute or late, submitting my taxes in mid-October last year had some unexpected benefits.
