Andy: How are the taxes coming along?
Roger: Much better than last year. I can tell you that.
Andy: Thank goodness. I was afraid you hadn't started them yet.
Roger: I haven't. But last year I hadn't started them as of April 14th- today's only the 10th!

Been there, done that! He should give HER the forms if she thinks she’s so bleeep smart! As Einstein is said to have said, “It’s too much for a mathematician. It requires the services of a philosopher.” As Will Rogers said, “The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has. Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you don’t know when it’s through if you are a crook or a martyr.”

Mine are complicated so I’ve always had them done by my CPA. Thank goodness.
BigChiefDesoto, I like your Will Rogers quote.

Why would I get a return? You let the IRS play with your money interest free? How patriotic. I have my check for $6 written, in an envelope with a stamp on it ready to be mailed Thursday in time for the final pick up.
TAX TIP: The 1040 has no space for comments. There is plenty of space on the back of your check. Use it.

I let them use my money interest free. I don’t get enough back to earn very much interest anyway.

And it’s not like you’d be earning much interest in a bank (or most investments) either!

You mean you are passing on the chance to earn 1.3% interest?

Some time ago, I re-filed amended returns for the previous five years and got several thousand dollars of overpayment back with interest. The interest I got from the IRS was better than the banks were paying.

Tax returns are the forms we file. Tax refunds are what gets refunded to us, if we overpaid. I don’t want to have so much extra withheld that we get a large refund (instead of drawing interest in savings), but neither do I want to get socked with penalty & interest for not having enough withheld. Always hard to judge how much is the right amount to withhold when the tax laws and/or life situations are always changing.

Taxes are drain, a sewer drain.

I hate you, TrapperJohn.

Speaking of refunds, I once new a tax accountant who said that the people that drove him crazy were the idiots who said, “I didn’t have to pay any taxes this year, I got money back from the IRS”!!!

My problem is that I live and work in California. Unless I am part of some VERY WACKY California programs (which I’m not), my withholdings for the Federal are too much and the withholdings for the state are WAY TOO Little.
So I get a big federal return which the Union of Sacramento Socialist Retards (California government) then takes away. My State tax is almost higher than my federal tax.
HELP!!California has very stiff penalties for being rich - and rich is defined as being someone that actually
WORKED FOR A LIVINGinstead of sucking an existence out of welfare or being part of the government graft.
