I Hate Taxes March 23, 2010

As I look at the calendar and realized that the tax deadline is only one month off, I am reminded of one fact:  I hate taxes. 

This year I am considering a tax refund advance so that I get the money in my pocket right away.  Yes, I did read that this is a bad idea but I am so full of good ones that I am entitled to have a bad one every now and again.

Unlike my friend Arc who always does a tax extension, I do prefer do my taxes by April 15th.  At least I will not have it lingering around for so many months.

And, what most people actually do not know is that you don’t get to pay late…you simply get to postpone the paperwork.  But don’t you have to do the paperwork to figure out what you owe?

Using that rational, it seems silly not to do your taxes on the 15th of April.  But who I am to judge?  I am requesting that people do not judge me for getting a tax refund anticipation loan because its a dumb thing to do.

I just like money in hand immediately.  Is that so wrong?
