I think we can all use a little levity right now, and in the email was a study from IPX1031 about where the biggest tax procrastinators are. Not surprisingly to me, it’s fabulous Las Vegas–my home.
A friend of mine is a tax professional in Orlando, and he tells me has few people who wait until September to file. Our rush in September – October is greater than the April tax deadline rush!
So where are the biggest procrastinators?
- Las Vegas
- Denver
- Seattle
- San Francisco
- Washington, DC
- Portland, OR
- Austin
- Baltimore
- Dallas
- Houston.
If we look at this based on states, Nevada is only number two:
- California
- Nevada
- Texas
- Colorado
- Oregon
- Washington
- Hawaii
- Georgia
- Arizona
- Maryland
Given that I expect an announcement in the coming days postponing the April 15th deadline (for those interested, as of today federal tax returns are still due on April 15th), I think statistics for the 2020 Tax Filing Season will be quite different.
