Gotta wonder how many returns are gonna get run through unauthorized AI tools by IRS employees this year, leaking private financial information into future training sets.
- joezydeco 4mo agoI haven't filed yet. Maybe some prompt injection in my 1040 will work some magic.
- lovich 4mo agoWe’re a bit past the deadline at this point. What would make you not have filed yet? I’ve heard of people missing it but never the reasons why and I can’t imagine one since I always file ASAP to figure out if I owe or am owed money.
- jasonpeacock 4mo agoIf you don’t owe then you have 3yrs (IIRC) to file. Of course, you also don’t get a refund until you file. And you usually have to do all the same work to know whether you owe or not…
- joezydeco 4mo agoI 4868 it and do it over the summer.
- lovich 4mo agoI don’t know what that term means and I was more asking for the personal reason to file so late. Like a literal, “I didn’t feel like it” is an answer, it’s just an action I can’t imagine taking so I was trying to understand your state of mind
- joezydeco 4mo agoAn IRS Form 4868 is a request to extend the filing date for six months. It's always granted and you're expected to pay your estimated taxes in the meantime. I always owe, since I don't care to give this government a free loan of my money for a year or more at a time. I also have other documentation which isn't always ready by April of the filing year. So I file later on and pay whatever small amount of interest they charge, which is cheaper than a credit card or bank loan.
