I despise the people running it. The country I still love.
Depending upon your relative earnings and deductions, it can sometimes be beneficial for a married couple to file separate returns. The marriage penalty sucks big-time.
I have been putting off doing ours. We write a rather large check every year on top of what we have paid during the year. This year the thought of it is just mAking me sick. What amounts to a large amount of money to us is pissed away in a second without a thought by them........all of them. Republicans, Democrats, Obama.
I include them all. Every year I write F$&;()g Thieves on the check but they cash it anyway. This year even that won’t make me feel better.
How did that happen? Usually the married jointly structure is the less onerous.
I wish I had run it both ways.
I haven’t got my papers together yet. I have an accountant do them and every year I owe after paying quarterly all year long. I will probably get it together next weekend.
A very depressing, disheartening time of year. I struggle to make ends meet but my government wants more, more, more.
Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists. …If those that got angry at the notion of abolishing the family were the “most radical” in 1848, then just how radical are those that have put it into practice for close to a century now? (It will be 98 years this October since the Bolshevik Revolution happened.)
We were surprised in a good way. And we made way more this year than ever!! We do have mortgage etc....but overall I was expecting much worse.
government/left always use the “lets tax the rich” but it always always the poor/medium income that get hit, not the rich. It doesn’t effect people like Warren Buffet. They love the “lets tax the rich” mantra
Your government will spend it so much better than you.
And you’re obviously contributing for those who cant.
Im sure someone will tell you thank you
For the first time in our 30-year marriage, I am not going to do our taxes. My husband will do them or have them done by a tax-preparer. I told him that I am tired or worrying for 6 months about doing them and then worrying for six months about having made an error. (I have long believed that the 16th amendment was not properly ratified...)
Obamacare subsidy surprises are hugh!
TRUE STORY:
Accountants are being abused verbally (and threatened with physical attack) after revealing the “taxes” and repayments due because of Obamacare.
One case reported by accountant was man who dutifully signed up on healthcare.gov in Nov. of 2013, got his subsidy amount, changed jobs in Feb. 2014, wnet to tax preparer in Feb. 2015, found out that his slight pay increase from changing jobs voided his subsidy, and he now owes $9,000 back to the government!
Needless to say he was STUNED!
I’ve come to despise it all the time.
You can’t say it is the best place on earth anymore.
Not a problem for me, you have to have an income to be income taxed. A problem by the way I wish to have!
Welcome to the Gulag Plantation tax slave.
Just retired and had to have an extra amount withheld to try to keep from having a big bill next year - no taxes withheld from pour retirements or SS payments so my normal withholding no longer in effect. I use my military retirement account to try to balance out my taxes so I have a manageable bill (owe some, but not enough to pay a penalty) each year.
As cableguymn wrote, you don't despise this country.
You despise The Managerial State:
Ping.
