But first, let's talk taxes with Stephen Moskowitz, the founder and tax attorney at Moskowitz-LLP,

longtime friend of the Armstrong and Getty Show and advisor on Matters Tax as well.

Stephen, how are you?

Doing great. My favorite day of the year.

Yeah, not mine.

Yeah, you're the only one.

But so you're always brimming with an interesting tax talk.

You love your job as much as anybody in America.

So what's top of mind for you today to communicate to the good folks?

You know, there's so much.

If you haven't done your tax return by now, don't be like in the movies.

Work until midnight to get it out. Go on extension.

Now, the extension is an extension of time to file, not an extension of time to pay. But if you

can't pay your taxes, don't make the mistake of not filing return. File it. Pay what you can.

And then you can do a monthly payment plan. And, you know, I know in the movies, the IRS is portrayed

as monsters. They're not, you know, like any large group, there's always a bad apple and there's

always somebody great, but most of them are just doing their job. If you're reasonable with them,

they'll be reasonable to you. You can work something out. You don't have to be afraid of it.

You can work something out. That don't have to be afraid of it. You can work something out.

That's what we do for people. But the bottom line is these problems are fixable. And I've seen over

the years so many people, they go into hiding, they do these horrible things. They punish themselves

way worse than the government ever would. and there's no need for that.
