I've filed on the 15th electronically for the past several years, and although it did take 1-2 days to get confirmation from the feds I was never penalized.

Yeah, no sweat.

You have until Monday.

cool

exacry.

When the 15th hits on a weekend you have until Midnight on the next business day to file - which is the 18th of this year.

When I grew up, Friday was a weekday.

I guess Victoria Black's song is so insidious that even the IRS can't resist.

Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend

Got mine done at 8:00 tonight. Getting a fat check due to the pitter-patter of my little deduction running around. E-file for the win.
We partyin, partyin. We we we lookin forward to the weekend.

You spiced up my night.

Put mine in the mailbox today; mother****ing mailman didn't take my shit. So I put it into a blue box nearby. Hopefully that shit gets postmarked before the deadline.

That is true in general (Friday was the 15th) but Emancipation Day is a DC holiday and why the filing deadline this year is the 18th.

If you are paying and not e-filing you should send it some way that gives you proof of mailing (certified mail/fedex). Mailman taking your shit isn't really enough.

If this work the same as the efile system we use, and most other systems I know, when you submit the return it is given a postmark and that is when it is deemed received.

E-filing doesn't guarantee they'll get your return, either. I went through that last year for my '09 return. They received my voucher and check but had no record I had filed a return. I had to go back and dig up proof that I e-filed and after sending a couple of faxes with proof, they were satisfied. Save your e-filing info, all of it.
