Get an extension

Does tax season stress you out? If it does, I'm sure you're not alone. I know of many, many folks who claim it's additional work they really don't need and would rather avoid having to do.

I think sometimes even the best of us procrastinate till the last minute. You either have to get your taxes done on time or seek an extension somehow. To be honest, getting even a little extra time is a great relief. If you're in the US, you can file for an tax extension form 2010 online very easily.

Quite frankly, given the choice, an extension would be great because some of us are truly busy with 101 things on our plates and could really use the extra time to sift through the piles of documents and sort things out.

One of my girl friends is in the habit of procrastinating till the last minute and then in desperation, she solicits help from her kids to help her get through some of the paperwork. Not always a good idea, I don't think unless your kids are a little older and can be trusted to get it right but desperate times call for desperate measures especially when the deadline is drawing closer.
