<prompt> Human: Ive been trying to file my taxes for several days now, but the main company I worked for last year is making it a real pain in the dick to retrieve my w-2. They use some website owned by a different company altogether where you have to login with a username and password they assigned arbitrarily, and I spent a few hours on the phone the other day trying to get a human on the phone to tell me my login info. I finally get the login, and the site proceeds to bug out on me and not connect for about an hour, and when it does connect, my login no longer works. I tried calling back just now, and their hotline is only open from 9-5. So I only have tomorrow during my lunch break to try and get in there and file one last time. I know I should have done this earlier, but its obviously way too late for should-haves.Im not that pissed if I dont get my money because I only made 9k in taxable incomegross last year anyway, mainly what Im worried about is it coming back to bite me in the ass.Can anything worse than not getting my money happen?Edit: I got my answers. Thanks everyone for the adviceknowledge. I never knew the deadline was just for people who owe money. Theres a lot of poor fucks like me who could save a lot of stress every April if they knew that.thread tl;dr: the deadline is apparently only for people who owe taxes, and I made so little money that Ill be getting a full refund. whenever the website and hotline are working simultaneously again. Anyone in the same pickle who gives a shit probably ought to file for an extension. Hakuna matata  <response>: I just want to make a subtle distinction that is sometimes missed: there is a difference between filing your taxes and paying your taxes. You can---and should, in your case---file an extension with the IRS. This is an extension to file your taxes; however, the deadline for paying your taxes to avoid any penalties is still April 15.So make an estimate of what you need to pay and send the payment to the IRS before April 15. Also file an extension before April 15. Then file your taxes later, and pay or collect the difference between what you owed and what you paid.If youve already paid the full taxes you owe in withholdings andor are due a refund, still file an extension and file your taxes later.
