Oh, today will be nothing. Wait 2 weeks until the 15th (the due date) and see what a madhouse it is then!
 
Oh sure, spoil it why don't ya? :-p

Ah well, I got my parents good today, and that's all that matters! :biggrin:
 
:eek: don't tell me about it!
I have to file a US tax return and I didn't even start on it yet :rolleyes:
now where did I place that W2? I'm toast.. :wink:
 
Sounds like you need to clean your place thoroughly. That's how I found my W2 today! :redface:
 
I didn't even realize that this was an April Fool's Joke. :redface:

Oh well, my taxes are done, so I'm cool as a cucumber. :cool:
 
Hurkyl, you are so evil :evil:
You had my heart skip a beat.. :cry:
 
Excellent! :biggrin:

Does the mail have to be in by a certain time or is it enough if the envelopes are postmarked with an April 15th stamp? :S I bet they don't know what Dutch postmarks look like ;P
