4/24 is the day for this chore

Doesn't armed IRS agents come to your house and shoot you?

That's the horror story we were all told growing up: "Never be late on your taxes or the taxman will bring the god of death!" -Mom

If anyone has followed the saga, apparently 4/14 is my serious answer

Can confirm. Agents just kicked my door in and shot me dead.

The only thing I really remember being taught was something like, "If you think you're going to cut it close, file for an extension."

It's just so damn easy now with the internet. I can get my W2 in my company portal, 1099's from the bank portal, and file my taxes (for a fee) in the browser.

We're not fiscally responsible enough to have anything going on that makes it very complicated, so there isn't much genuine fear to overcome my natural laziness and poor impulse control
