Ever since I started earning a paycheck and having to pay taxes – not necessarily at the same moment in time – I decided to not file my tax forms or pay any tax due until the last possible minute.  A passive protest, of sorts.

So every April 15, I have the tax forms filled out and sitting in an envelope ready to mail – but I don’t leave for the post office until 11:00 pm. The forms always get their deadline postmark of April 15, and I get the smug satisfaction that my return is included in the avalanche of last minute mailed returns that hit the IRS inbox on April 16 or 17 or whatever it takes to get from Nashville to Memphis or wherever they have to go these days.
