I AM FED UP !

Dont feel like the lone ranger, I havent heard my bottom line yet but I am sure its not going to be good.
 
NO REFUND !!

I take some measure of satisfaction knowing that the Fed system did not have the privilege of using my earnings interest free. I plan to have as little withholding as is legal. Those who get refunds are financing the beauracy without compensation.
 
I had to pay last year and this. Last year was no surprise but this year I was a bit baffled at first. Then I realised that I was running on an out of date W4 so my withholdings were all wrong. Add to that some taxes on investments and it's cheque writing time.
 
Here is my pet peeve. Follow me on this. First a little background. All my life like most people, I paid full pop on taxs. I also never went bankrupt or stiffed a person. Now even some comemtators and talk show hosts that I respect advertise outfits that "will fight for you" if you havent paid your taxs in years "to pay pennies on the dollar", or other outfits that specialise in dealing with creditors to also settle for "pennies on the dollar".
I once had a close friend that made captain. He used to tell some officers that wanted easy details or whatever, NO! If I do someone a favor it means I am screwing someone else! (He used a crudder word actualy). Thats how I feel and I would suppose most honest other people should feel to.
Many of us have lived like me. Paid every nickle and never stiffed anyone. Then we see other unresponsable people that run up debt and get out of most of it. That isnt fair! In my case I didnt have a bunch of kids useing public schools, I myself went only to small one room schools etc. I never needed a cop or fireman. I doubt hardly any if any tax money was ever spent on me save the military keeping my freedom.
Then I see our elected officals throwing fortunes away, spending ungodly amounts on ungodly foriegn countrys, biden chargeing over a million in two days on hotel rooms in paris and london and on and on. I have a hard time with all of this.
 
Every April a gent rides a horse by our house yelling the Red Coats are coming, the Red Coats are coming, the next day I get a tax bill. Conspiracy? Government infiltration by Sons of King George? What is it?

You're not the only one pal.

Total federal taxes paid last year was 48K.

....don't even get me started because it will be BAN city for me:cool:
 
I'm with TACC1. I get we'll, say screwed every year. I'm to the point in my life where I have no deductions. Give me 300 areas in the mid west with a wind mill, a well and a few solar cell and leave me the hell along.
 
For probably the last 30 years I file around April 14:eek:

What is this refund ya all talkin about?

Well... just remember that you have had the use of your money all year while "they" are simply getting back the interest free loan they've given to Uncle Sugar. ;)
 
George W gave me money, once. I was able to buy some work boots. Seems I've been paying for those work boots again and again.
I had to pay twice last year, because I had no proof that I paid in 2007. I had to pay 2011 and tripple what I owed in 2007. I bought a new gun anyway.

look at it this way , it is actually better to get your money when you earn it, rather than loan it it the government, interest free while you go out and buy stuff with expensive money on a credit card at 23%+ per anum. I think you may be the smartest man in America.
 
I think it was in Bill Clinton's second term tha the IRS proposed a new, simplified income tax return form with only two lines on it.
Line one - - - How much did you make last year? _____.
Line two - - - Send it in! :D:D
teesur.
 
Haven't had a return in at least 10 years - and that one was a couple Benjamin's IIRC. Now I send in quarterly and am happy not to be poked.
 
My choice

Well, I guess I'm the odd duck here. I pay in generous amounts of money every two weeks so I get a fat return. I know the gov. uses the money all year, but do you really think they aren't anyway...??!! The system is a rip-off and that is for certain. I just choose to pay in extra as I'm single, no kids, and debt free. A $7000.00 return (sorry williamlayton) is a chunk of money a blue-collar working man can do something with. If I tried to save it all year, some dirty, low down forum member would post a gun for sale that I NEEDED!! Poof!! Money gone. Just a choice. If I had to pay in $3.00 at the end of the year after paying out of every check all year, I'd have a coronary!! Blessings and pray for our country sooner than later..........

I wish the govt would NOT nickel and dime folks every two weeks (or whenever) that a person got a paycheck.

IF the government would just send out an ANNUAL BILL, everyone would be so peed off that it would force a massive overhaul of the entire system.

Our founding fathers did NOT provide for a federal tax on income. The first one was during Lincoln's rule, and it was to finance a war of other citizens of this country who chose to exercise the original guarantee that if the "Unitied" states didn't work out of their state, the states would be totally free to leave that "union." We all know how that founding fathers promise ended!!! He also started the first draft to get warm bodies to fight that war.

FAST FORWARD TO 1913 . . .
I guess the politicians loved the thought of going back to Lincoln's income tax, but this time on a more permanent basis . . . so we got the income tax on our earnings again. I don't think it will go away again, but over time it has allowed the federal government to become enormous, and to use that money on huge projects, and to threaten states that the feds would withhold their portion on federal projects to any state that wouldn't go along with whatever the feds mandated.

Without a continual, massive influx of tax money from America's workers we'd no longer have a massively-sized federal government. Wouldn't that be WONDERFUL?

BTW, yes, I'll again pay a few thousand to the feds on April 15th, angry we just gave the Palestinians a half a billion dollars this week, and angry about a lot of other things that, IMHO, the feds have no business giving away. With massive money comes massive power, and the founding fathers intended for this NEVER to happen here!
 
Since I am self-employed, I pay estimated taxes each quarter. At the end of the year I estimate how much my taxes will be and pay enough to owe a small amount. I prefer to owe them, not have them owe me.

I just did my Federal taxes and this year I will owe $62.
