Many of us are in the same boat.
I am currently paying close to $2,500 per month in just excise tax alone! Before the 20 other taxes I pay are all tabulated. Along with huge accounting fees, etc. etc. its all way out of hand.
YOu gotta admit though it would be cool to see the big mooch have to settle for a MOtel Six some time!
For the last five years we’ve owed no income taxes as our money sat in a 401K and we collected disability.
I sure don’t mind paying my taxes as, God bless, almost $8K of that money was money coming IN from gains in the stock market. IE....my “accountant” and I both knew I would owe this so decision was to keep it in the 401K and withdraw when due.
course now I gotta do the quarterly deposit.
Here’s my bigger point....I am, believe it or not, an ACCOUNTANT.
Made my living at it, worked at hospitals, gubmint contractors....specialty is payroll in fact so I unnerstand withholdings, quarterly deposits....did it all.
But serious RG, the taxes today are so out of control that I just can’t do it anymore.
My husband’s brother, thank God, is a CPA and he does my taxes for me....it would be a fortune to have to hire someone to do it. He’s really great at it and is a real Tea Party type floating in the jetsam and flotsam of Massachusetts’ governance. Remember my beloved husband made me look like a left-winger with his curmudgeon political views so too is his brother from that same mold.
he knows I am target for an IRS audit, I can feel it deep in my bones....already Delaware’s trying to pass a law against me but it’s boring....but anyway....I shall pay every damn penny I owe and will follow all laws, mostly, to the hilt.
Cause they’re out to get us, call me nuts.
