I OWE....I owe A LOT!

 

I wouldn't go online to file. I have been told that since it done electronically it is easier for them to check and audit (not sure how true that is and think about it you enter your info on some site even if it's the IRS site).

Also I would be very cautious of accountants many of them are crooks. My friend and his wife w/ a child are going thru this guy and are getting 11k back. And they said the guy filed them as single and head of household, totally ILLEGAL.

Turbotax or something like that is good enough unless you have a business then it may be worth it just to pay someone that you trust.

 

Which means you gave the governmet an interest free loan last year.

Yes, you're correct. I have a BA in Economics . At least I filed early and screwed them out of an extra couple months.

On a more serious note, I highly recommend filing early and filing on the net. You'll end up with money in your pocket in no more than 14 days, and it's actually very easy and pain-free. If you wait until the last minute, your return will end up taking much longer to get to you, and you will have lost the money you could have made if you invested it (or even put it in your savings account). You know, the old time value of money thing .

 

haha turns out I might endup getting some $ back!!

 

Finance guy, here. Last year I paid out ~14K to the "man". I bought a house in 2002, so they owe me this year...I was just trying to make the point that although it is nice to get your money in a lump sum at tax time (rebate), it really was your money all along.

 

I also used Turbo Tax through the IRS website. It was $16.95 total to do Fed and State. And I got PAID this year. Almost $2G's. And sitting in my bank waiting for me to unleash my mod list.
