14. They don't give a shit if you don't file

if you are expecting a refund. If you know you owe, you could file for an extension until October, but you will owe penalties and interest on the amount owed.

Now, what you could do is change your W4 so that they are withholding the bare minimum right now. You'll effectively kick the tax can down the road to April 15, 2026, denying the federal government the interest free loan they normally get from you. As long as you pay your estimated taxes by April 15, 2026, they won't do shit.
