You guys are part of the 47 percent not paying taxes? Why are you on FR? We don’t want people who don’t pay taxes on here.
That doesn’t make a lick of sense. Just because a person gets a refund doesn’t mean they didn’t pay any taxes.
Are you joking?
That's hillarious. If you want to how we get out of paying "our fair share", it's not much of a secret.
Create an LLC and make if profitable (side business). This gives you opportunities to write off a lot more. And it's legal. It is not cheating. Rental properties, Computer tech, firewood, cutting grass, etc. all qualify.
Refund means OVER-paid...
But I’ll bet you knew that...
That is cold and not helpful.
What the devil are you talking about? We pay our taxes with every paycheck via withholding. Getting a refund merely means that you overpaid and gave the government an interest-free loan with that extra money.
Or were you just trying to be sarcastic?
It’s a little known fact, but a couple with whose income is ALL qualified dividends can receive nearly $90K in income and pay 0% tax.
That kind of dividend income would require a stock portfolio in the $2-3 million range.
I’ll bet there are some Freepers like that.....
You are showing a glaring ignorance of how withholding and refunds work, as well as insulting many FReepers, who do, indeed, pay taxes.
Please be silent for a time. It will do FR some good.
I look at my refund as a loss. I overpaid and the IRS is holding on to my money, or using my money, without paying me any interest. That money could be in my bank earning interest.
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Lol. Excuse us for getting money back. I work and my husband is enlisted in the military. I guess our types aren’t welcome on FR.. :)
