So its June..... and your wondering why I'm just now filing my taxes
because I was waiting on my L.P. to decide weather or not to claim me or not.
SO I filed for an extension because he was taking his dear sweet time. Now then if you want to file an extension you can do that through turbo tax, they guide you right through it and it was super easy. They make you make a pin number that has nothing to do with anything and you don't use it ever so just keep that in mind. That's what I didn't know and it caused a lot of problems later.
Alright so months later here I go filing my taxes. the actual taxes are a breeze thanks to Turbo Tax. Now here is where we get into the foggy what tha heck area.. before you submit you need to get your Pin number from the IRS you use your social, date of birth, and address off your last years taxes to get your pin... when I entered all my info, the machine said that doesn't match what we have on file please call the office.. Ok fine I'll call. Yesterday I was on the phone with them for an hour and never got through. Today I called and they denied my call completely saying they were full of calls and could take no more. They told me to call back tomorrow. BOOOOO fine.. I guess I have until October I'll call next week and see how it goes.
Moral of the story .. FILE BEFORE APRIL 15th!
One thing that I can say about filing an extension is do it early. Do not wait until the last minute like my husband did last year. We waiting until the last possible hour, then were involved in a power outage and missed our window to file online. File the extension early and relax instead of letting it hang over your head like we did.
