If it looks like you can't finish, e-File with a bad AGI number.

If your return is REJECTED on Tax Day, IRS gives you a couple of days grace period to e-File again,

or mail in your return at the Post Office.

 

I don't understand why everyone doesn't do this?
Or, maybe they do and then don't have to put panic posts on this forum.


Sorry too late now, since Tax Day has passed.

Good idea about the incorrect AGI to force a rejection.

Now if you did not put on an extension you are technically late. However if you will owe no taxes or are getting a refund there will be no penalties for filing late. You have until October 15th to e-file through the TurboTax system and after that you'll have to mail in the return.
