they should just do that thing where they send you a notice where it's like "hey, you owe us or we owe you, is this number ok? if not please do this paperwork to show otherwise" like many other countries seem to

A COMPUTER GUY posted:i once submitted a payment for a pretty substantial amount but marked it for the wrong tax year the initial letters are scary but when it becomes clear you aren't actively trying to dodge taxes they are super friendly about working with you. the IRS only cares about you paying exactly what you are obligated to pay, nothing more and nothing less. I know a couple people who miscalculated and got a letter from the IRS saying that they messed up and actually should have gotten a larger refund because of the making work pay credit. compare this to just about every private sector company which will gladly sit on accidental overpayments until you hound them about returning them.

Mr Dog posted:UK taxes for non-1%'ers basically boil down to four brackets and most ppl don't even file a return government spending (especially in the uk) is very highly progressive, it doesn't matter so much that some elements of the tax system are regressive

i sold a domain/twitter to a dude for 10,000. i reported it with schedule d using standard capital gains rules. basis was, like, 50 bucks. federal taxes came to ~%15, ca took another %5. i'm okay with that considering it was basically money from nowhere. i scheduled the payments to occur on friday the 13th. now i'm using the remainder to pay off my student loans. the tech bubble is a weird place

Hurt Whitey Maybe posted:let me trust the government in the one adversarial relationship people have with the government barring committing a crime. taxes are black and white and there is certainly not a massive body of common law subject to interpretation. the government already does your taxes, your employer already reports to the irs how much you got paid and if the irs thinks you owe more than you paid for they'll sure as poo poo come after you for it. they just make you also do them separately on your own for no reason. unless you've go super complex income or a lot of fancy deductions there really shouldn't be any need to do the paperwork, the government already knows all the numbers involved in a five-digit or six-and-a-half digit income duTrieux. posted:it's amazing that there's no political will to do this the tax prep industry collectively spends maybe $50 million a year lobbying against it, not including money spent by their respective pacs and superpacs. how much have you spent lobbying for it? when a issue isn't significant enough to have any one-issue voters behind it, the us political system handles things very simply

my first interaction with the IRS was them sending me a letter saying I owed them $75K because they believed I wasn't really more closely tied to Canada for that year. I think my accountant just pointed out that it was dumb to choose Canadian taxes over American ones, and they were happy. Took a couple years off my wife's life, though.

some random tech company could be in for a surprise when they find out what venue they booked for SXSW in Austin. a piñata store in East Austin was demoed with all of its merchandise in place, and without following proper eviction procedures and notices. that's because the new owners of the property as of October probably didn't want to wait until the lease was up in 2017. said new owner used to run a Wikipedia editing PR company (which was banned from Wikipedia editing due to using sock puppets) and was quoted as saying the following about the demolition: quote:“Say you have a house that was infested by roaches,” French described it. “You have to clean that up.” and today it comes out that they had already rented it for a SXSW interactive event. given how touchy gentrification issues are on the east side and how big of a landmark that piñata store was I'd be surprised if there weren't protesters there to make the event a shitshow while calling police over every minor infraction they see.
