Wtf even filing my taxes is taxed

Can we have a tea party

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

Beer is fermented tea.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Anything and everything to hurt Americans.

Hey guys. If I described to you an entity that did nothing but harm average Americans, would you consider that entity to be an enemy of the United States of America?

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, but, hear me out....what if I told you you're now allowed to be openly racist?

And openly transphobic? Would that sweeten the pot?

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

And bail you out for treason?

[-] sausager@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

That depends, can I cosplay as military and send browns to concentration camps too? For more than I currently make as with a Bachelor's degree and over 10 years experience?

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Ew. Unless your bachelor's is from a for-profit university or a Bible college, that's going to set you back.

Best I can do is for you to LARP as a 2A activist. No pay but you get to feel like you're one of the special ones. At least until we don't need you anymore.

FREE Tax filing is SOCIALISM!

-People who SUPPORT Trump's Government buying a Stake in Intel!

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago

Buying a stake in Intel is not socialism. It's state capitalism.

[-] Jason2357@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 weeks ago

It’s corporate socialism later, when the government bails them out.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

more like:

name of bill: "America the Wonderful and Beautiful"

text in bill: "rat poison now mandatory on tap water"

[-] TeamTeddy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

My Dad told me during a ride in his truck that he was voting for Trump again because he lowered prices for things in his first term and thought he'd do it again. Every bit of news I have seen of him since is shit that's making Dads financial situation worse.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck your dad.

No offense.

[-] TeamTeddy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't really blame my Dad for it, he's in a pretty bad spot money-wise. He has to support him, my stepmom, my sister, my two stepsisters PLUS the newborn twins one of them just had, my little brother, my cousin that lives with us, two dogs, a turtle, AND myself whenever I come over. We had so many people living with us at one point he had to set up some new walls and doors in what used to be my little brothers toy room to turn it into two separate bedrooms.

He voted for Trump entirely because of his belief that if he became president again, we would be as financially stable as we were when he was first president. Back when we could afford going on a camping trip twice a year, back when our fridge was regularly stocked with ingredients to make our own lunches, back when he could afford to buy a whole 200$ game console for my birthday, ect. That hasn't ended up happening and every time I get a glimpse at the news he's not any closer to doing that. If my Dad was ever a "Trump supporter" I doubt he is now.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

What prices did he lower? I thought you guys were having a pandemic and that he was riding on Obama's economy.

[-] TeamTeddy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

I wouldn't know cause I was 12 when he first got elected, too busy playing my PS3 and talking with my friends on Google+ to check the current state of the economy.

[-] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Trump supporters have a similar brain structure to moths. they see a light (Trump saying something), doesn't matter what it is or if it's attached to something that'll kill them, they'll flock and rave to it regardless

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why can't a leftist candidate do that? What's the secret sauce? Is it violence, or the threat of violence?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Stupid followers that need to be told to hate someone.

Could probably succeed on a "hate the billionaires" ticket, if these people weren't so programmed with capitalism.

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

"Don't worry about it. If you're rich, it wont affect you!"

-Every single thing the GOP has done this term

When admitting, even to yourself, that you were wrong/duped feels worse than just dying, lol.

[-] zululove@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder how would MAGA respond to it 🤔

[-] Bongles@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

These idiots take their single w2 to the H&R table at Walmart and give them a third of their return. It doesn't affect them.

(I'm making up the third, I have no idea what they charge)

[-] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

We need more Louis Gs.

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

I managed to get to use this last year before Cheeto Mussolini got rid of it. It was simple, straight-forward and free for the basic filings. Of course that fucking twat waffle would get rid of it.

[-] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Unfortunately my account never managed to work/register properly. And now it never will. :(

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 weeks ago

There's still "IRS Free File", which is a different thing where you have to go through a middle man to get it while they try their damndest to "upgrade" you to the paid version. And presumably they got some kind of money from the US gov either way.

Direct File was a sane program that cut them out and let people file their taxes completely directly. The leeches lobbied against it.

Sigh. I used Direct File last year and it was great. Back to FreeTaxUSA I guess. The least shitty option I'm aware of.

[-] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

You can still use free fillable forms, you can fill out the raw tax forms yourself online and can submit them online there. Not the best UI, it's literally just the forms, but you cut out the middle man so they don't get more money to lobby congress to keep this dumb system going. It's also free if you make more then $85,000 , which alot of the "free" software isn't.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I've always just got the forms from the IRS site and mailed them in. If they're going to make me work for it, I'll make them work too.

[-] Ronno@feddit.nl 1 points 2 weeks ago

There are only three certainties in life (US edition):

  • Taxes
  • Filing your taxes
  • Death
[-] ChogChog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I’m wondering if the open source work that was released can be built out in a way that we could still generate tax forms to send in.

It’d take some effort to make sure it’s following current tax code however:

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Fellow non-USians: no they don't have to pay their government for the privilege of being allowed to file their taxes. "For free" here means "without the help of a tax accountant (and online)". I was SO SO SO confused.

Edit: tax adviser? tax agent? some person who knows taxes.
