I've already made clear how I feel about income taxes and that I am an ardent supporter of the FairTax. But while we're stuck with our current tax system, I thought I'd share my favorite last-minute tax tip:
File an extension!
If you haven't finished your tax return in enough time to avoid a last-minute panic, file an extension so you can take your time and do it right. And your tax preparer will probably appreciate it, too.
Of course, if you file an extension, you are still obligated to pay your taxes by April 15, so if you think you're going to owe, send a check along with the extension.
