So You Haven'T Filed Your Income Tax Yet

So You Haven’t Filed Your Income Tax Yet By Elton Camp You don’t want penalties cause it’s late So why or why did you procrastinate “I will do it for sure tomorrow,” you say But tomorrow you wait yet another day There is a good chance a refund is due But until you file, it won’t come to you But now it has gotten down to the wire It’s even too late H & R Block to hire All of your records you pile on the table Must do it now even if you don’t feel able “Find the lesser amount of line twenty-two” And then you must decide what have to do For an especially hot corner of hell you hope For who wrote these instructions—the dope! Must they be complicated in what they say Surely there must be a much simpler way “I’ll print 1040 from online,” you think Only to find the printer’s out of ink Too late, you find you’re missing a form W-2 Now what in the world are you going to do So let this teach a valuable lesson this year File taxes early and there’s naught to fear I decided years ago, never an idiot to be For this same thing has happened to me
