EP 234: The Real Tax Hack? Making April 15 Boring

Today is what most people call the “tax deadline” — but that term is more misleading than helpful. In reality, April 15 is less of a final cutoff and more of a decision point: you either file your return or file for an extension.

Whether you’re already squared away or haven’t even started, there’s still something smart you can do today — and we’re here to help you make tax season uneventful on purpose.
