Context:
US Americans are supposed to file taxes by mid April (idk the date bc I never do it in April), but you can file an extension if you need more time, pushing the deadline to October 15th.
Fascism Tip:
While you can be arrested for failure to file or for lying on your taxes, you won’t be arrested for filing honestly and then simply not paying. The IRS may eventually levy your assets, bank account, and/or wages, but it often takes many years and/or a large debt for them to actually pursue it. This is not tax advice.
Come end of January, I get antsy waiting for HR to send out the W2 forms. I usually have the return already filled out by that point, only needing my official salary numbers; I just do some quick back of the napkin math for that until the W2 comes. By the time all the tax forms come in, all I need to do is plug in the numbers, give it a final check to make sure I didn’t miss anything, and then it’s sent off. Haven’t had an issue doing it this way in years.
