I don't know about you, but March sure seemed to roar right past me.
Lion, lamb, whatever your tax animal, last month was a big one for filers. We finally seemed to find our tax stride, with Internal Revenue Service statistics showing that, for the most part, this first tax season under major tax law changes is finally starting to look normal.
Or as normal as life can be during tax filing time, at least when it comes to refund amounts.
If you were among those more than 84 million taxpayers who filed a return during the first three weeks of last month, congratulations.
If, however, you're still working on your 2018 tax year return, probably because you owe Uncle Sam more tax than you had withheld, then you've got a little less than two weeks to finish up that 1040 or file for an extension.
