The deadline comes and they "need one more week."

The filing deadline for this year has passed, so homeowners and investors will have to wait 'til next year to file.

I go to a good tax preparer, maybe even an enrolled agent.You may want to join us next Tuesday, we're doing Ask the Builder in addition to RE Tax Abatements for Massachusetts deadline is 2/1/16.

At the end of the day you are in the right place and still have a couple months to set a strategy before the filing deadline.

@Jenifer Levini can probably help you.Monday is a holiday and your specified deadline is Wednesday, so you may want to jump on this proactively. 

It's time to break it down into measurable goals that you can track and set deadlines for.

Give yourself a reasonable deadline to purchase something.   6 months, a year, 2 years.   

The repayment terms for a 401k participant loan are equal monthly/quarterly payments of principal and interest (typically prime plus 1%) over a 5 year term (longer if used to acquire your principal residence).Please note that if you take a full $50,000 and then pay back the loan, you can't take another $50,000 until 12 months after the first loan was fully paid back.Per the loan offset rules that went into effect with the 2018 Tax and Job Act: if you leave your job and the loan is current at the time you leave your job but then the loan goes into default because you left your job, you will have until your tax return deadline (including any timely filed extension) to make the loan current by depositing the outstanding balance into an IRA (and thereby avoid the taxes and penalties that would otherwise apply).Please keep in mind the multiple loan rules:Under those rules, the sum of the balances of a participant's outstanding 401k loans under a single 401k plan (using the highest outstanding balance of each loan over the last 12 months) can't exceed 50% or $50,000 whichever is less.
