Taxes Are Due This Week — Do You Wait Until the Last Minute to File?

I hate doing taxes. One of the reasons I hate doing taxes is that I end up paying in about as much as one of my paychecks is. I never have enough extra money left over to do anything else after paying my bills, let alone pay my taxes. I always have to make payments to the tax board. But it is what it is.So I always wait until the last minute to get them done. I guess as long as you get them done, that's OK. Normally, the deadline is April 15. But since that date fell on the weekend, you have until April 18 this year.
