I would go insane if I left it to the last minute. I've been bugging Jason about his for the past three weeks. He just decided to do them on Saturday. He *knowingly* left the money he got from the mutual funds sale out because he thought he would have to pay $4,000 in taxes on it. Years ago, he accidentally left out his capital gains and was never caught, so he thought he could get away with it. Even with the mutual funds sale left out, he still owes $400. When I saw it, I realized that he sold the mutual funds at a loss and could take three grand off his income, which would lower his taxes. So, he'd get $360 back from the federal government. However, the mutual funds were broken up into about fifty different items. And he had already filed his return, so an amendment would be needed. And that is beyond me. Amendments are scary. So, I talked him into going to someone who does this for a living. She immediately knew what was wrong and is working on it today. Jason's still sick over the whole thing because he thinks she's going to tell him he owes thousands of dollars, but I don't think that will be the case. Taxes should be much simpler than this.
