We(my wife and I) actuallu OWE LESS filing separatly.
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.
Yep. Marriage penalty. Actually better not to get married financially since your ‘significant other’ can get coverage under your company health insurance now.
Man! I’m mad and I don’t have to write a check!
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.
We are one of those couples that worked our butts off and set ourselves up for early retirement with a nice guaranteed income. We also have no real bills now, no mortgage, etc. so no write offs. The government gets it all now.
“There’s still a lot to like about America. I find I love it less and less.”
I love its past. What America meant to my ancestors and to our Founders. I love how many people who had nothing managed to make something of themselves. I love what we managed to accomplish. I do not love how the government has messed everything up. I do not love how much the scum in Congress are willing to sell out their country and their people to line their pockets. I do not love how we’ve become a nation of freeloaders. It’s quite sad.
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...)

The gay king wants to punish straights?...

In his move, 2016, Dinesh D’Souza made the point that Obama would’t see anything wrong with 100 % taxation of a business which is summarized here in n online review:
http://www.themoviespoiler.com/Spoilers/obama2016.html
The pertinent part of the review is here:
“We then find out about his father, and how he died in a car accident. Obama went there, to confront his father’s ghost. Obama narrates his book about when he went to visit his father’s grave in Kenya. He reconciles with his father at this time and no longer feels all the pain he felt growing up, not receiving attention and love from his father. A friend of Obama Sr. says they had the exact same ideas.
Barack Obama Sr. proposed in an article once, that the power of the state must be used to control and regulate private industry, and there should be very high tax rates. They can be taxed up to 100% of their income, as long as they receive a benefit from it. So many countries around the world are growing 3-5 times the rate of the US as they embrace the “American recipe,” that America is failing at. How does Obama do it? He embraces an Anti-American third world view, and yet he’s president.”
14 years of doing taxes and I can count on one hand the number of MFS returns that are better than MFJ.
MFS was instituted so that you don’t have to join your spouse in Leavenworth. That, or you can’t track the SOB down an get him to sign the return. Otherwise MFS is nearly always a losing deal.
Tax preparers waste thousands of hours running MFS scenarios that never pan out. Total waste of time.
