In addition to the reasons already stated, and the fact that many
people don't want the Internal Revenue Service collecting interest on
money before it is due when some of it will be spent on things we may
not approve of, the simple fact is that many, many people don't wait
until the deadline.
It seems to boil down to the people who expect to owe money to the IRS
wait, while the people who expect a refund often file as early as
possible.

"Most men worry about their own bellies, and other people's souls,
when we all ought to worry about our own souls, and other people's
bellies."
