For several years I didn't file on time, rather I filed for a 6 month extension. Then I would walk over to the I.R.S. office during lunch and request all my reported income. Those are the forms that I used to file at H&R Block. This was much easier than me keeping up with all the W-2 forms that arrived in the mail at different times. I asked the I.R.S. agent why I couldn't just use this method to file by 4/15 and he said that they don't have all the info together until about the sixth month. I agree with the article but I think the real problem is all the deductions that people tell the I.R.S..
