Filing Taxes In 2013 After October 15

If you were unable to pay your taxes earlier in the year, you might have been dreading the October 15th deadline for your deadline extension. Now that the 15th has come and gone, you might realize that you still have not filed – and that major problems may soon occur. Your first impulse should be to file as quickly as possible.

Luckily, even those who forget to file can still go through the process of filing taxes in 2013. Unfortunately, though, you will be without quite a few of the tools that you would normally use.

Bipartisan Changes Needed To Reduce Debt

March 12, 2020January 7, 2013 by Steve Patterson

Reduce Debt

Spending cuts and reforms to government entitlement programs are very necessary, according to an interview with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on National Public Radio. The interview was broadcast nationally on Thursday morning. Pelosi said that she feels the government should be scrutinizing every dollar in the budget in order to reduce costs and prevent future generations of Americans from paying for financial mistakes made today. This applies as much to the defense budget as it does “on the domestic side,” she said.

Other segments of the interview featured Pelosi praising the recent budget agreement, saying the rise in taxes on the most wealthy Americans brings “more fairness” to the policies. She also said she hopes that reforming programs such as Medicare and Social Security will extend them for future generations, and make them stronger today. While she supports reform of these entitlements, she does not support any … Read the rest

The TaxAct Plan is one of the systems that gained a lot of reputation in the near past as it is meant to switch the federal tax system with the countrywide sales tax. People supporting this move think that it might help in getting rid of tax elusion and stretch the tax weigh evenly, among all others. While on the other side opponents are of the opinion that the Tax Act will result in additional tax strain to the middle class people while the wealthy will have lighter tax burden.
