I was really late one year & when I got my money back, it had actually accumulated interest & I was paid the interest too.Hi Isom ,
That's good news about getting the refund. I've had
problems with getting taxes in on time and in the US
you can file an extension. This lets you send the paperwork
later and you pay an estimated amount. I way overpay
and the US government also has laws such that it is OK
to file later *if* the goverment owes you money (they get
the interest). But being in depression sucks, I can barely
keep track of my bills much less all the paperwork mess
for taxes. Just need to bite the bullet and get a good
tax man.Take Care,
John
