You are correct. But don’t forget to show your ID at the Piggly Wiggly!

Nope. One manager once tried to convince me I was wrong about how taxes work and I would be charged a bunch at tax time. I got a huge refund instead (I had adjusted my withholding to basically nothing). He “knew” better than me about my own taxes because his mother worked for the tax department 🙄

Why should I put myself in the dark about what I make and taxes I owe by letting the “government” do it? Further, these tax moguls.. or you know, accountants and others who make a living doing taxes (not H&R Block) will they just get hired by the IRS and become IRS Tax Moguls? Further, what’s wrong with personal…

Darn it, I don’t remember seeing that as an option in Turbo Tax last year!

Yeah, with interest that $500 could have been $510

Behavioral finance. Most people would be better off withholding more, as they would likely nickel and dime that money away if it were spread across paychecks.

If we paid the same tax % no matter the income level or source, then the IRS probably could do that. But as it is, no they can’t quite because income may not follow estimations. There’s lots of sources of variation to income that would make so income could be different than expected.

Per our president, my understanding was that not paying my federal income taxes would indicate I was “smart”. I assume that’s an option, yes?

Because the deductions/credits/exemptions for each individual/couple are different. They couldn’t possibly get the correct amount of withholding without knowing the exact amounts of those allowances that a person will claim and, in many cases, the amount of such allowance isn’t known until the end of the tax year…

Because they don’t know how much you will end up deducting from your taxes for medical, charity, home mortgage interest, etc. And the taxpayer doesn’t always know what their outside income might be from taxes, rental income, investments. 

yeah, i do not understand america’s fucking tax laws. why is anyone under- or over-withheld? do they (the irs? my employer? idk who even “they” is) not know how much tax should be withheld on each paycheck? could they not just...do that, and then there’s no tax day?

Or Hilary.

Don’t worry, I’m sure his supporters will find a way to blame Obama.

Yeah but I think Mattoon is where they kept all the good meth

I’m all for the Notorious RBG, but must quibble with her thoughts on SCOTUS term limits. If the only reasonable objection is that it would require an amendment to the Constitution, wasn’t the whole point for the Constitution to be able to be amended? And like isn’t that the argument that slaveowners who wanted to…

If she needs a transfusion, a kidney, a lung, whatever, she can call me.

I got through the whole thing and I was like:

I usually skip the long (tl:stfu) submissions like that one and only go back if someone comments on them, words like ‘weird’ and ‘pathetic’ in the comment always help.

E-I-E-I-E-I-U. Don’t overthink it. You’d be surprised at what we’ll accept as entertainment in Charleston, IL. Go Panthers.

Your words, my thoughts. Fuck the NFL and its pretentious bullshit, and all hail WYTS.
