👀It’s Tax Season! Do you file as soon as you can, or do you wait until the last minute?

We file using H&R Block and while the prep is all done, we won't hit "submit" until close to the deadline. Not eager to relinquish title to my hard-earned money in normal times, and given :: gestures vaguely at the state of the country :: I'm especially not looking to hand an additional $20K over to the federal government any earlier than I have to.

Came here to make Atty 1’s comment. There’s really no reason to delay filing since you can delay *payment * until the deadline.

ASAP. My tax professional is also my spouse, and it's important to get our numbers calculated early to beat the April 15 time crunch.

On behalf of all tax preparers, don't wait until the last minute.

I pay someone to do my taxes. Otherwise, I would be waiting until the last minute as well.

Last minute. I do my own.

Usually early to mid March. But some years I am really on top of it and a February filler (to my tax preparers delight haha)

I am not cruel enough to send everything to my tax preparer last-minute. They get everything as soon as possible.

Just wanted to brag a little. This may not be much for some but I’m super excited. I graduated with a B.A in chemistry July 2022 and I start my job this Monday with a salary of 60K! This is the most money I’ve ever made 😱😱. Really proud of myself even though I know some people would rather make more. I’m hoping to hit 100K within 3-4 years. Don’t give up recent grads!!

Hi, has anyone ever heard of adenine Solutions? Thanks!

Anyone here know of a wholesaler that supplies bottles like this? I've checked Alibaba, Thomasnet, and various other sites, but not much luck. I can't currently fulfill anything above 500 bottles and most suppliers I've come across have a minimum of 1000 or more. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

Just had a hearing on my motion to compel where OC told the judge we hadn’t conferred before filing the motion. Not only did I attempt to confer on 3 separate dates, I attached the emails and his response that he refused to confer to my motion. Judge didn’t care, as soon as she heard him say we hadn’t conferred she denied the motion. Not asking a question, just needed to vent.
