RE: Oct 15 final 2017 tax deadline: Share your tax horror story with BlockTrades
Thank You @blocktrades, I know this one may seem trivial but back in 1989 I mailed in my Taxes in a Regular Envelope at the time about one week before April 15th Deadline and the envelope was returned back to me for .03 Postage Due on April 17th. The Moral of this Tax Nightmare is that I Never ever Mailed my Tax Forms in after that without going to the post office to make sure I had proper postage because it Cost me $159.00 in Fees and Penalties due to Late Filing. That was me trying to be Thrifty and just save some time by not going to the Post Office and paying a little bit Extra for Certified Mail and Return Receipt...........Lesson Learned. Thank God for Electronic Filing now. Maybe IRS goes away in the Future..........
My partner has been a big believer in using certified mail for filing taxes for as long as I can remember (she's the pessimist in our relationship). It always annoyed me "wasting" even more money to pay the government (via the US Postal Service) to make sure they successfully delivered the money to themselves to avoid paying penalties. But I guess it wasn't wasted money as the same thing that happened to you could have easily happened to us. Agreed on the online filing, now if we could just vote online...

We are getting Closer to True Freedom and I hope to see it in the not to Distant Future.............Thank You again @blocktrades
