We're already a month into the new tax year. This is the perfect time to send in your return (if you're required to do so). You need to do one if you earn more than £1,000 from your writing. That's income not profit.
I know it's not a fun thing, but it won't get easier or more enjoyable if you put it off until the last minute. Doing it early saves stress, and means that if you discover there's something missing from your records you have time to sort it out without risking a fine for being late.
In case you didn't realise, the date you send in your return has no impact on when you have to pay.
NB the above applies to the UK - other countries may have different rules.

We filed ours over a month ago as it's due April 15, although most states now allow a two week or more grace period.
Did mine yesterday!

In the process of gathering - for the first time! Good timely reminder :)
Yeah, in the US, that was last month. But thanks for looking out.

Thanks for the reminder! I’m going to get mine done early this year.
Thanks Patsy
