**Taxes Are Due Tomorrow: Here’s How to File for an Extension (Or Just Hide Under Your Bed)**
In a shocking turn of events, the IRS has announced that taxes are due tomorrow, leaving millions of Americans scrambling to find their W-2s, receipts from that one time they bought a coffee in 2018, and the last shred of their sanity. But fear not, dear procrastinators! There’s still hope! You can file for an extension, or as we like to call it, “The Great Escape.”
“Filing for an extension is like hitting the snooze button on your financial responsibilities,” said local tax expert and part-time magician, Dave “The Tax Vanisher” Thompson. “Just remember, the IRS doesn’t accept ‘I forgot’ as a valid excuse, but ‘I was abducted by aliens’ might work if you can provide a detailed account of your intergalactic adventures.”
To file for an extension, simply fill out Form 4868, which is conveniently located in the Bermuda Triangle of tax forms. “I once found my Form 4868 in a sock drawer,” said local resident and professional procrastinator, Linda “I’ll Do It Tomorrow” Johnson. “I thought it was a receipt for my last pizza delivery. Turns out, it was just a reminder that I’m terrible at adulting.”
If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can also try the “Hide Under Your Bed” method. “It’s a classic,” said self-proclaimed tax guru, Bob “The Bed Bug” McGee. “Just make sure to bring snacks and a good book. You’ll be there for a while.”
So, whether you choose to file for an extension or simply embrace your inner hermit, remember: taxes may be due tomorrow, but your ability to avoid them is timeless. Just don’t forget to emerge from your hiding spot before the IRS sends a search party!
