Income tax procrastination

• minimom Posted : 4/14/2006 11:43:11 AM Ugh...I saw the title of this thread and thought, oh yeah, there is something I need to do today.  [sm=blush.gif]   Actually, I did finally do my taxes the other day, just haven't filed them yet.  I used turbo-tax online...and have a question.  In years past I've always gotten a refund...this year I have to pay a little bit of Federal.  How does that work with online filing?  Do you give them your checking/credit card number and let them deduct the amount due?  I'm not usually a procrastinator when it comes to taxes...don't know why I was this year. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• minimom Posted : 4/14/2006 11:55:18 AM Thanks Sarah...yes, I'd prefer that they take it from checking, I didn't really want to put it on a credit card.   Ok, off to do my filing.  Thanks again.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• minimom Posted : 4/14/2006 12:25:11 PM Ok, that was fast and easy.  Just an FYI, turbo tax did give the option of paying via credit card. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 4/14/2006 3:02:01 PM Fizzlebriches, you and me both.  We always head to H&R Block as soon as we have all the necessary forms - that's usually early in Feb. and by mid month we have it in the bank by direct deposit. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
