Stop Calling It Tax Day

Stop Calling It Tax Day

Tax season and the focus on “the fifteenth” has other pernicious results.  Things that are really important that don’t have an externally imposed deadline attached to them are put off until “after the fifteenth”.  And “after the fifteenth”, there is a tendency to operate at a lower rate of urgency.  And the real nightmare is very complicated returns that slip past the due date through no fault of the firm.  It can end up being almost impossible to get them prioritized since being “already late”, they are of lesser importance than other returns that can be “on time”.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
