LOL, summed it up for me too!

It's only a crime to evade (felony) or not file (misdemeanor). You can owe em a million dollars and it is a mere civil matter
as long as you file. Just say'n....

The man can suck it !!!

Uncle Sam has a big long fat one. He ain't sucking nothing. The peasants wear kneepads...

Get to write them 2 checks Monday. One for 2021 ,and as an added bonus this year, I get to start paying quarterly estimated taxes! Politicians and pedophiles deserve the same fate!

I'm glad I looked at this thread...

I did mine last night sort of in a rush knowing I had to get up at 0300 to make it to the hospital, then when I looked at this thread today when I got back from my surgery, I looked at my filings and realized I made a $5k mistake, but I had already electronically filed. I had somehow failed to input lines 2,3,4,5 & 6 from Mrs. Irish's W-2. Of course I couldn't get them back, so I had to wade through all the amended return crap when I should have been laying in the recliner eating bon bon's, but got it all done and instead of owing over $5k we now only owe $726, and getting $769 back from Aunt MeeMaw. So it's all a wash.

You know I've been doing my own taxes for about 40+ years, but you can still make mistakes. Whew...

That said, we did alright. If you divide our wages, salaries and tips (Line 1) into our Tax Liability we only ended up paying 15.25% federal taxes this year. I chalk that up to the hefty amounts that both of us are putting into our tax deferred 401k plans.

I've paid more than I did this year and I've paid less. It hurts every year thinking about what kind of vehicle or how much land I could have bought with that money.
What hurts even more is knowing people that have never worked a day in their life and do nothing but pump out illegitimate little rug rats get 5 figure checks.

My accountant was dragging it out. Had to file an extension but sold my stale ina business last year. It had done well, but the whole covid thing made me realize the power elite could strip everything, so I better divest.

Anyway, apparently my accountant didn't want me to see the number cause it's a damn kick in the nuts.

Start an LLC. Claim EVERYTHING you buy except maybe food items. Show what you don’t sell on eBay as a loss.
Criminal bastards. Every politician out there can choke on a chocolate ding dong.

I paid him plenty but my cpa said he needed 4200 more. Got to take care of all those that choose not to work and get paid.

College buddy just called, asked me how much I was gonna drink tonight. Told him not enough, that was for damn sure.

This, but they hit me for an extra $7K

Yep pay estimated tax payments all yr then get to write one that hurts worse on tax day. They say you made more money this yr and I say well where is it cause I dont hardly have enough to write this dang check. Taxation is theft imo.

We got shafted and had to pay $7k more! A neighbor who doesn't work got a $6k refund?!?! How the hell does someone who has no income other than SS get a big refund? Sick of this crap where the working man gets shafted but the freeloaders thrive. Screw Biden and the dems.

If tax day was October 31st, this counter would be in a lot better shape as we would be going to poles a week later and people
Would care enough to elect conservative officials. You don’t think it’s an accident that election is as far away from tax day as it is? Do the math 4/15 to 11/8 almost exactly 6 months, figure in the government wanting it to be right after the first of the month when everyone gets they checks and you have the reason tax day and Election Day are whwre they are.

Well I sincerely believe that it’s both democrats and republicans that don’t want the middle class to have anything, I just think the republicans tend to vote on the “distraction issues” (trans, military, abortion, etc) in a way I would agree.

If America’s middle class could come together it would be the most powerful voting force the world has ever seen but these politicians use guns, unborn babies and sexual identity to drive a wedge between us all and maintain power.

This part makes me nauseated. I don’t even know why I try anymore. The more I make by being smart the more I am penalized. I am almost ready to sell all of my property assets and just live the remainder of my life in my homestead and fish as much as I can.

57% of folks pay $0 in federal income tax and most of those get money back they never earned. Fun times.
