    I don’t know any EU country, that doesn’t do the taxes for their employed citizens. You normally only need to amend your taxes for stuff outside of your salary. The US truly is not a first world country it seems.

      No thanks, cannibalism is disgusting. I won’t be eating any people as long as planet Earth has plenty of tasty animals that feed primarily on vegetation.

      If you meant to suggest that the person should be murdered, just say that instead of suggesting more disgusting things like cannibalism.

        With enough seasoning and the right prep he would make good jerky, it would be like the natural evolution of mummy jerky. It’s about sending a message, full circle kinda thing.

    Seems like a good time to stop paying taxes.

    Wouldn’t that be a cool boycott against this administration? No taxation without representation as they used to say…

        Taxes are generally already withheld, not filing generally means you won’t get your refund…

    “You’ve heard of Direct File, that’s gone,” Long said. “Big beautiful Billy wiped that out. I don’t care about Direct File. I care about direct audit.”

    Jesus i thought he was calling himself “big beautiful Billy” in the 3rd person the way they used their capitulation in that quote lol

      Almost all taxes are collected from the paycheck before you even get your hands on it. The filing is mostly for the tax return on the overpayment. They’ve already thought of it. How you gonna stop paying?

        My 1099 jobs I’m supposed to pay the taxes.

        My W2 jobs, I just set allowances to like 20 so at least the bare minimum is being taken out.

            Yeah… I thought about not paying taxes last April but I don’t want to draw unwanted attention to myself. Did the IRS have a bunch of people let go? Yes. Does that mean that they don’t have enough staff to realize I didn’t pay and come after me? Maybe I don’t want to find out. I’m self employed through my own LLC and I don’t know enough about taxes to do them on my own anymore and I have to pay someone to help me anyway, so the free software wouldn’t have helped much. Last April was the first time I had to do this, prior to that I’d been an employee at a company that withheld taxes.

      I mean, you don’t have your money, you bank does.

      Just change some numbers and “thank you for paying you taxes, a additional 50% tip has been automatically applied”

        Cash it out beforehand then. The bank has no right to keep your money if you want it out.
