One stresses a lot less by planning their deductions and payments so you are always owed a refund of $300 or less or owing the IRS $300 or less.
Maybe they should be encouraged to find an honest job in the private sector.
Will a government shutdown delay the deportation of the dacaca illegal aliens ???
No idea, haven’t gotten one since 1990.
Will Congress be paid during a shutdown? Then why not the military?
I hope so - that’s a good bargaining chip - delaying tax refunds.
I always have to write a check, so I don’t care.
Simple: repeal income tax.
If not that, use a flat tax.
It is well worth it!!
According to the news, the only effect the Schumer Shutdown would have on the IRS is a suspension of audits. That can’t be too bad.
Only if the Democrats have their way.
This is total B.S. (propaganda)
First of all they aren’t programming tax code changes for tax year 2017. the changes are mostly all for 2018- next filing season.
Also- they have enough people to process returns, look at rejects, filter out fraud etc. and get the refunds out on time.
When they are totally funded they only answered the phone 60% of the time anyway.
They have enough deemed “essential” that it won’t even bother them.
The feds will do anything possible to make a shutdown, as painful as possible, for taxpayer/voters.
Rinse, repeat; rinse, repeat; rinse, repeat.........
Jeez, I just put in for retirement benefits, I should start seeing a check 2nd Wednesday of February........ or maybe not.
The wife and I need passports, never had them. The applications went in 10 days ago’ish. I suspect this will give the State Dept reason to hang us up until any shutdown is over.
Not like we should need to get any govt permission to travel.
All I know is because Mitch McConnell refused to repeal Obamacare and all the extra taxes it increased I lost an extra $20,000 last year. If that triple-chinned POS had helped repeal Obamacare the Long Term Capital Gains tax would have gone back down and I would have saved that extra money for my retirement rainy-day account.
Must be 100 times today I heard liberal talking heads on TV say the shutdown will be blamed on republicans because they control the WH, Senate & House.
No they do not! It requires 60 votes in senate to pass any significant bill, and they have only 51 republicans in senate. This temporary spending bill can not be passed by reconciliation, unlike the tax bill.
Why I seldom hear above response from republican talking heads?
I’ve been rolling my overpayments into “next year’s credits” for years.
Might soften the blow for next year (first year with reduced SALT deduction.
This is Trump’s shutdown and was planned when Trump was 30 years old. It was planned to hurt womyn, childryn, people of color and LGBTs. (/mediots)
