Some people have ADD. Some people have complicated tax situations. Some owe taxes and need time to gather the money. Some can't do it themselves, but can't afford to pay someone else. Some are just procrastinators.

That's all I can think of.
When you're in love you don't want to fall asleep bc reality is finally better than your dreams.

And some just dont care... (like me)

Even if you dont have the money then, you can file on time and work out a payment plan.

Also you can have your taxes filed for free at the library.

ADD is not an excuse.

ADD isn't an excuse, but it's a very valid reason. ADD is the reason many people don't balance their checkbooks, check their mailboxes, listen to voice mail, check email, clean out their cars... There are many behaviors commonly associated with people who have ADD and procrastinating is one of them. Anything that requires focus can be as difficult for an ADDer as moving a mountain. The more complicated your taxes are, the more difficult it is to gather everything together, submit or prepare it and review it. It may not be a biggie to a non-ADDer, but it's a huge feat to an ADDer.

(For the record, I filed mine last week - but I still procrastinated because I could've done it in January).

Why?

Sorry sjonathan (hehe look I spelled it right :D) but I don't understand your question

Are you saying why do I find it mind boggling? ... because I don't understand

Or Why do people wait until the last minute? ... I'm trying to figure this out myself

Or are you wondering why do I even care? ... my wife helps people with their taxes, therefore the last minute people impede upon me and my wife's personal time. You know what I'm saying.

Yes, why do you find it mind boggling?

You wife, especially if she is not getting paid, can always say 'no'. *kanyeshrug* :-\

I understand you point but because we both have strong personal feelings about this topic. I have a feeling we are just going to keep going around and around in circles talking about it.

Nah, i doubt that. Sjon gives up pretty easily. Just keep running and eventually he'll tire out and you've won.

I'm yet to try it, but i bet it works.

Soap Box Monday is just too hip for me. My tax situation is very complicated. I use 1099 outside consultant forms. I cannot get all of my stuff together and I cannot afford to pay someone to do it for me. So it is twisted. I will not be bothering you and your wife with my problems. I am retired and I get a pension too. There are other variables because I worked part of the year but not all of the year. Then I did some outside work where I was paid in cash on a few seperate occasions. It's complicated.

The tax code is just way more complicated than it needs to be.  My tax situation is rather simple but, in some cases, you need to be more of a lawyer than a mathematician to deal with it.
