Tax Extension Center continues its daily series dedicated to The Top 100 Reasons to File a Tax Extension. Our aim is to inform taxpayers that a tax extension can be a valuable tax season option because it saves time, stress, and even money.
Here’s reason #65: it’s fast – file a tax extension online in just 5 minutes.
What sounds better? Endless highly-stressful hours spent flailing around to get your taxes filed on time or 5 minutes to give yourself an extra 6 months to file?
No-brainer, right?
For all of the hardship and stress that filing a tax extension at the last minute can bear, filing a tax extension is refreshingly fast. In 5 minutes or less, you can e-file a tax extension directly to the IRS and have the security of an extended tax deadline.

Here’s reason #53: avoid the long, annoying lines at the post office.
It happens every year. I see it at the post office right down the street from me. Starting in the first few days of April, I notice that the line starts to creep out the door a couple of hours per day. By April 15, not only is the line permanently out the door, it’s around the corner and down the block. Everyone in line looks like they are competing to be voted the most miserable person on the planet.

Halfway to reason #100 on our list! Here’s reason #50: you’re missing a 1099.
The broader reason here is you’re missing paperwork. You’ve either lost it, or it hasn’t been delivered to you yet. And a 1099 is not the only type of form that falls under our reason for today. It could be a 1098, a W-2, or even a W-9. No matter the type of form you’re missing, it’s preventing you from filing your taxes on time (either for yourself or your business) because you need it to properly complete calculations.
In such a case, it makes sense to take advantage of the extra time a tax extension afford you to either A) spend more time to find the missing paperwork or B) do what it takes to get another copy.

Here’s reason #46: it’s a long story, but what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Anyone who’s ever been to Las Vegas knows there’s a certain buffer necessary between leaving and getting reacquainted with reality. It’s sort of like trying to get over jet lag.

Here’s reason #35: you just flat out hate taxes.
You won’t find many people out there who will admit to you they love taxes. Most people don’t like them at all. And then there’s the portion of the population that hates taxes. Hates with a capital “H”.
At the very top of the list of things that aren’t likeable about taxes is the act of filing them. The paperwork, the receipts, the deductions, W-2’s, 1099’s, K1’s – it’s enough to make you sweat just thinking about it.

Here’s reason #33: it’s snowing. Staying in bed all day sounds like a much better idea than doing taxes.
We all have those days when we wake up, look outside, and think about getting right back into bed because it’s snowing (especially if you are in the Mid-Atlantic right now).

Here’s reason #31: there’s just not enough hours in the day for both Facebook and taxes.
Every day, more than 52 million people in the US login to Facebook. Chances are you are either one of them or know people who use Facebook all the time. That’s the point – no one really uses Facebook lightly. From posting on a friend’s wall to looking at you pal’s photos from their recent vacation, there are plenty of ways to spend lots of time on Facebook. With all of those things to do, who has time for taxes?

Here’s reason #29: a vacation beckons – the best fares for flights are during tax season and you don’t want to miss out on a great deal.
Bottom line: you don’t have to put anything fun like a vacation on hold because you need to get your taxes done. A tax extension gives you freedom in April (or March if you pay corporate taxes). Freedom to not feel stressed out like the rest of us and take that vacation you’ve been putting off forever.
