East Village Idiot’s Last-Minute Tax Tips
April 15, 2008 – 7:39 amToday is April 15th, and your taxes are due. Here are some tax tips that will help those who have put it off until today:
- Don’t do your taxes at the last minute.
- Seriously, are you stupid? There’s been plenty of warning.
- You got your W-2 three months ago. Remember?
- What, did you think your taxes were just going to do themselves?
- April 15th is the deadline every year. This shouldn’t have snuck up on you.
- Now you have to wait in line at the post office for two hours. Serves you right.
Update: I have no sympathy for these people, but I am kind of jealous that they get free pretzels.

This always boggles my mind. I had a coworker doing his at work yesterday. I think I had mine done and received my refund already by the middle of March. (Love direct deposit!)

Basically this is just the adult equivalent of the kid who never turned in his homework on time in elementary school. Some things never change.

I have an uncle who didn’t pay his taxes or even file all throughout the ’70s. And he never got caught.
So, I’m advising everybody to neither file taxes nor to pay what you owe. Nothing will happen to you.
Truuuust me.

People are getting rewarded with delicious pretzels for being lazy-ass procrastinators? If only I had known…

Hey, I got through college pulling all-nighters, why should tax time be any different? And to top it off, they were done at a 24-hour Starbucks so I could have a stream of caffeine to keep me focused. Not a single odd glance for carrying a shoebox of receipts in my pajamas. Of course, I wasn’t the man in the corner singing along with the soundtrack…

I filed for an extension. Work didn’t send me a W2. Bastards.
