April 2, 2013 If you're scrambling to get your taxes filed by the deadline of April 15th and think you might be late, well you're not alone! Not that we want you to file late, but it feels better knowing that you won't be the only one, right? In fact one in seven people ends up having to grab an extension for one reason or another... Here they are:
April 2, 2013 Actually, not so much of a shocker that taxes are due here in a couple of weeks. Who has filed (aside from those receiving a refund)?
The IRS has issued its annual warning about the "Dirty Dozen" schemes out there—ways that certain disreputable folks will try to steal your money or methods people use to hide financial information from the tax agency.
It takes at least a few days, sometimes longer, to receive your refund after you've filed your taxes with the IRS. Some people, though, just can't seem to wait. This almost certainly is a bad decision.
February 26, 2013 Tis the season of tax returns. Uncle Sam has been mailing checks for the past few weeks. Some of us plan on saving our refunds, while others will go out and spend them. Last week, a 21-year-old man named Jesus Mata Junior in Texas got his $1,000 tax return back then blew it all at a strip club. To avoid telling his wife that he blew it all, he called the police and made up a fake robbery as a cover story. Pretty smart right?
It's hard to believe it's already the middle of tax season. 2013 is off to a fast clip, and unfortunately this means that Tax Day is right around the corner. You could bury your head in the sand until you hit April 14 panic mode, or this year you could give yourself a burst of energy and self-confidence knowing that you met your taxes head-on. Here are money savers to get you started:
Amount of income, number of deductions, total receipts, amount of times you banged your head on the table: April is the month of figures.
If the amount of money in your bank account and number on your tax return are making you crazy, take a break, take a breath and distract yourself with some of these numbers from the IRS.
Everyone knows that filing your taxes can be a huge headache. While it can be a pain, it’s definitely not something you want to take lightly.
So, you think you’re ready to file your taxes, huh? Well, not so fast.
