Man, glad I’m not alone with my disgust for this agency. My wife’s an accountant, and as a .mil retiree I go out of my way to ensure we pay 100% owed on time; actually over pay usually because if there’s any question at all I just say fuck it, not worth risking any threat to my membership in the Federal check of the month program, LoL.
Last year they contacted my new employer to force them to drop my deductions to single-zero …. I’m married with two kids, and my Mother In Law lives with us too, and we haven’t claimed her as a dependent even though we could. They did this because I made more money every year after retirement due to my new income, and especially from stock options vesting…I joined the company just before the stock went vertical and was getting stock worth twice my annual salary for awhile there, so my income (and taxes) were increasing exponentially every year for a few years.
We always paid/pay our taxes on time, and again, have really over paid most years since retirement, but apparently Uncle Sugar likes his money A-Fucking-Sap, and can’t afford to wait for me to mail my check in at midnight on 15 April.
I actually went through my HR department and eventually ‘talked‘ to the IRS via an online chat to complain about this, and was told I could sue them, but had about a 90% chance of losing…and I’d have to pay all lawyers fees, etc. out of pocket win or lose. So I punted and just do everything I can to shelter as much income as possible.
#1stworld problems, right? And all things considered I’d much rather be paying taxes on money coming in than not having it, but the way they did this just pisses me off. I’m paying more than my fair share, but by God they gotta have it right the fuck now.

My wife’s first employer (a CPA) basically did exactly that…. Paid them every week in cash, then took out the taxes at his desk right there in front of them! Very effective mechanism to illustrate the true cost of taxes to them, and we never forgot it.
When I first started my business back in 2001, I was paying this guy $15 an hour under the table to help me but I was pretty much just paying him for eight hours ($120) even if we only worked 4-6 hours. Anyway, he went and applied for food stamps, and they approved him for $200 a month, but in order to get it he had to go down and meet with them twice a month which he would take two days off from working which amounted to $240 dollars. I asked the guy why you are trading $240 in cash just to collect $200 in food stamps? His response was I am not losing money they are giving me $200 I can't turn that down.That’s not the worst of it. I know people who are paying less in taxes because of Trump’s tax law and they are freakin pissed that they are getting a smaller refund.
The irs is one of a few eleatist scum that don't have to be any good at thier job to keep it.
They have no credible oversite or recourse for thier actions.
And no one can make them do thier fucking job.

That guy's account sucks. Research the "bona fide resident test" and where your Tax Home is.
A lot of people in my line of work file taxes as a bone fide resident of Iraq.
Relevant US Tax Court case law attached.
The fact that it's called the "Tax Code" tells you right their how fucked up and complicated it is you shouldn't need to "decode" anything to figure out what the fuck your taxes should be. It should just be a simple percentage-based tax across the board, and everyone pay the exact same percentage. You want to spit out ten kids oh well that's your fucking problem to figure out how to feed them. Like others have said they keep it very complicated with all these carve outs, cut outs, and loopholes so they can take from one and give to another.
The IRS processing campus in Andover, MA looks like a super max prison.
Hi strategy basically requires you to to renounce citizenship and bounce around the world between a few key countries without staying in any one place long enough to fall under their taxing jurisdiction.
Sorry TN is full.
LOL-I do believe I was the last one in before it was "full." Closed on land September of last year-just trying to confirm the build details/timing now-everyone is way backed up. In other news-water is wet.Sorry TN is full.
Don’t forget estate tax when you die , capital gains if you invested any etc.
Meanwhile the turds that spend every dollar they make never have to worry about missing a meal housing etc
Those that are frugal and or invest in appreciating assets get the shaft
The .gov won when they started withholding.
If people had to write .gov a check we’d have a revolt and limited small .gov in a week
Im sure it will all clear up if we up their budget another 40 billion and let them hire another 80,000 armed agents (scarcasm)
