I AM FED UP !

[pharmer]

I love tax problems. When I was in the pharma biz, I made so much money I was paying heavy 5 figure tax bills. Even with itemizing and adding every receipt I could find. 20 page returns. Now, me and the wife pay about the same as a good quarterly "pill pushing" bonus would be. Even got some of it back this year. Heck, if the economy gets any better we'll get an EBT card and we can eat the expensive cuts of meat. Joe

In 4 more years we'll look back and think of 2013 as the good ol days. I've got my tax deductions figured out almost to the penny. When I die either I won't anything to the gov, or the IRS (girl I hope) will going thru my pockets at the funeral looking for the last dime I owe em.

Thanks to my tax refund, I'm going to be able to afford physical therapy for another year.
Check this out. If I went to the physical therapy facility recommended by my insurance company, it would cost me $200 a month going twice a week, out of pocket, plus a 40 mile drive one way. If instead, I joined a local resort 6 miles away for a year, it comes out to be $150 a month, has the same facilities and I can go everyday if I wanted to. Just seems kinda screwy to me.

I'd rather pay every year than give the govt an interest free loan.

 

[Peter M. Eick]

Exactly!

This year I will pay more in taxes then my first house costs when I bought it.

I worked it out that I pay 3 seconds of our debt for this year. So who is paying the rest of it?

 

[Onomea]

That'd be me, Peter. Unfortunately.

 

[bluegrassrules]

Self employed, have paid every year for23 years.
Cheers

I pay a lot of taxes. My return is only my inability to regulate correctly my withholdings. I get a bi-weekly check but also quarterly bonuses. These bonuses are taxed at a much higher rate that I have no ability to control nor predict their value. So the Govt. gets to play with a bunch of my money during the year and then around February they return it without interest. It's a great system. It's not what you get in a return...it's what they keep that doesn't get returned that is the real problem.

Once again this year I'll be buying someone in the IRS another Registered Magnum...sigh...

 

[Peter M. Eick]

If my tax bill were only a Registered I would be celebrating. Mine could pay for a bunch of them. I got hit very hard with changes in the Tax code.

To all those that are crying how much overall taxes they pay:

I would happily pay that amount as long as I had the income that caused it.

So that's what has happened to all the cats in the neighborhood! Fellas, it could be a whole lot worst... I suppose you all have heard that Crete nationalized (that's a government uphamism for "stole") 40% of all deposits in the national banks of Crete. They called it a "hair cut". I thought they called that a guillotine.

I understand Spain is next.

True. I was bellyaching about taxes to my property manager in Hawaii a few years ago when he said, "It is a nice to be in a position where you have that problem...."

True enough. Thanks for the reminder.

Oh, I have to pay, and pay, and pay. Better to owe than to let them use my money free of charge! I have a large pile of sand they can pound before I'll let them use my money for no charge!

 

[medxam]

Just wait until your beloved wife of 48 years dies and you have to file at the "single" rate. It is unfair. My estimated taxes for next year have sky rocketed!

Between state and Federal I owe $10.00. That says my with holdings are perfect!

Last year I got over 4K refund. Through some tax planning I got only $67 this year. Don't lend the Govt your money.

 

[okav8tor]

Youse guys and all my friends get tax returns EVERY year.
I think I am the only bloke in the U S of A that has to pay every year.
I wish you folks would stop bragging
Blessings

You are not the only one sigh...

 

[Lost Lake]

The way taxes are collected is ingenious. People are happy when they get a refund, they think they are getting government money!!!

We all pay taxes. Some just overpay all year long. They get their own money back and are happy! Brilliant!

The best thing that could happen to this country would be to eliminate payroll collection of taxes and have EVERYONE pay their taxes in full on election day.

My tax repairer died last year. RIP
