One day until Tax Day.
If you haven’t filed yet, this is your emergency plan.
If you have filed, here’s how to make next year stress-free.
🧵
Tweet 2/5 — IF YOU HAVEN’T FILED
Your 24-hour emergency checklist:
1. Assess: Do you have all documents? Are receipts organized?
2. Gather: W-2s, 1099s, SSNs, bank info
3. Verify: Cross-check income against statements
4. Decide: File today or file for extension
Can’t file? Submit Form 4868 — free, gives you until October 15.
Tweet 3/5 — IF YOU OWE
Important: Extension = more time to FILE, not more time to PAY.
If you owe taxes, pay by April 15 — even if you extend.
Failure-to-pay penalty: 0.5% per month
Failure-to-file penalty: 5% per month
Can’t pay? File anyway + set up payment plan with IRS.

Next-year prep:
✓ Save your documents (7 years)
✓ Set up expense tracking (BudgetX or similar)
✓ Open business bank account (separate from personal)
✓ Track mileage automatically
✓ Set quarterly tax reminders (Apr, Jun, Sep, Jan)
Next April: File in 30 minutes. Done.
Tweet 5/5 — THE GOAL
Tax Day doesn’t have to be a crisis.
Organized people filed weeks ago. Tax Day is just another Tuesday.
Scrambling people have 24 hours. File or extend. Don’t ignore it.
Next year: Start tracking expenses today. Make Tax Day a non-event.
