Ping!
Tough. You shouldn’t be giving your money to Mother Government in taxes in the first place! Why give her use of your money for a full year, interest free, just so she can support illegals, wars, line the pockets of CongressCritters and other spending you disagree with?
Read a tax table. Plan your budget/income accordingly.
If I can do it (legally!), anyone can.
Ping to Post #22. Didn’t see that you pinged me. :)
The dims and their IRS determine who is rich.
Hint: If you have a job, you are rich.
I hope the biden voters are happy with what they got.
The defense sector. That was practically the one thing that went up last year.
Anyone who can’t figure it out shouldn’t be voting anyway.
I mean I hate paying taxes as much as anyone, but the process and figuring them out isn’t hard at all.
Personally, I would make the criteria for graduating from high school to be able to do a long form tax return, calculate the interest and actual costson a mortgage, and understand a car or homeowner’s insurance policy; that would be the minimum of being functionally literate IMHO.
He is. And, SURPRISE!!!!! You're one of them!!!!
“Money out of refunds”
Also known as PAYING TAXES, folks!
And you sheeple thought that was only for rich people......
Tax refund? what the hell is that?
Well I got quite a surprise today
While doing my taxes, I claimed my wife as a dependent. She does not work. Instead of getting a deduction as I did last year I find out they snuck a tax raise in the form of removing dependent deductions they now give you a $500.00 credit. This cost me $1,500.00.
It was sneaked in (not sure if snuck is a word) via the IRA which Bitch McConnel and Kevin McCarthy helped push through.

(From the article): “Financial expert Lynnette Khalfani-Cox told NPR on Jan. 22 that there are “four main reasons” that cause will cause 2022’s returns to be smaller. “
“The first is: no more stimulus checks.
The second is that what was called the enhanced child credit—that’s gone,” she noted.
A third reason is that a pandemic-era tax break for charitable deductions was killed for this year, she said,
noting that the fourth reason is because some individuals might face taxes on investment gains. “
”Joe Buhrmann, a financial planner and senior financial planning consultant at eMoney Advisor, told CNBC on Friday that the smaller refunds this season
and relatively high inflation could be a “double whammy” and “nasty surprise” for some people, namely families.”
”The IRS has already issued notices about potentially smaller tax refunds, noting in November that “taxpayers will not receive an additional stimulus payment with a 2023 tax refund because there were no economic impact payments for 2022.”
”Additionally, the agency said, it will be more difficult to claim a deduction for a charitable contribution on a 2022 tax return. “
