I shouldn't tell you this, Tabby, 'cause it'll only make you put it off even more but...
Unless the law has changed in Canada (I know you're American but it may be similar), the deadline is if you OWE the government money. If they owe you, they don't care so much whether it's late. In fact, one time when it was a few years late (long explanation but my ex-husband's fault - honest), I got my money, GST, & child tax credit PLUS interest on it! It came at a time when I needed money desperately & was going back to school. I got almost $4,000 - perfect!! as I had almost no furniture or much of anything then.
It may be much the same in the States. The government just doesn't want people to know about this much.
