We had a much larger portion of our social security taxed this year--both Fed and State.

(24,604 posts)until March, so I had to wait to file.
I thought all that stuff was due to the taxpayer by the end of January.

(6,261 posts)I really, really hate this time of year. I've always had great difficulty doing what I need to do, but don't feel like doing, and it's only getting worse as I get older.
In some countries they just mail you your tax return with everything filled in and you just sign it if you agree. So civilised. Why can't we do that here? I'm sure the IRS already knows all about my medical expenses and investment income anyway.
Anyway, currently owing a few thousand dollars and I'm confident I can polish that away when I start including my deductions (medical expenses mostly).
I just need to bloody well DO it! I hate myself for my procrastination.

(23,725 posts)From filing to refund was about a week and a half.
Then an unexpected form came in, so filed a 1040x. The good news, I didn't have to pay back ALL of the refund!

Not a bad tax season this year, all things considered.
