A note about the April 15th deadline for taxes
The April 15th deadline only applies to when you must have postmarked any payment you THINK you might owe in route to the IRS...even without doing any forms if you THINK you might owe them $5 send them that...do the forms whenever...if it turns out you owe more...send that in and there won't be a penalty.
If you know you're going to be doing nothing but getting money back the government isn't in a hurry to give it back to you...but it will once you file with no penalty (last year I did my taxes in October and still got my full refunds including all my Oregon withheld taxes as I'm military and don't actually live there anymore...)
So don't stress...don't kill yourself running all over and racing to the post office...unless you love drama...in which case...carry on.
