Tax Day Minus 6

This pile was mailed this morning.

Due to the floods last winter the due date for most of California individual tax returns, both Federal and State, has been extended to October 16, 2023. The automatic extension applies to both the filing of the returns and the payments that are due.

I spent most of the week working on the numbers. Today we got back the final returns from the computer service, signed and dated the documents, filled out the vouchers and checks, and took the envelopes to the post office. They were mailed certified, return-receipt requested.

We are old-school and communicate on paper whenever possible when doing business with the government. Electronic documents, emails, and payments get misdirected often enough that we are comfortable using tried and true, albeit slower methods.

Tonight I will sleep better than I have in months.
