That's fine. I wasn't planning to pay taxes to a fascist government anyway.
Nothing makes the government more efficient than cleaning house on the group responsible for bringing money into the government and which has an ROI of 5.
Man who pays someone else to do his taxes makes it harder for people who do their own taxes because he doesn't seem to understand how annoying and frustratingly difficult it is to file in USA
He understands. His cronies make big bank from paid services.
Stop thinking that these people are stupid and don't understand what they're doing. They know exactly what they are doing.
In Denmark We've had easy tax filing on the Internet for more than a decade, and before that it was also extremely easy, as we got a form with all the usual data filled out, and we only had to send in if we had changes. I haven't done my taxes for 30 years!!!
Except when we bought a house we've had a few tax deductions on energy saving changes, which took 2 minutes to enter.
Every piece of standard information is collected automatically, like wages, bank info, stock profits, real estate taxes, and the rest if you have anything additional is super easy to fill out. The old paper tax return form is AFAIK completely abandoned since more than a decade ago.
USA under Trump with Elron Musk making it even worse is what we would call working like monkeys in a cage. If they really end this program, it makes it more difficult to do your taxes, AND cost tax payers MORE!!
Thanks, we know the rest of the modern world has it better in literally every way literally everywhere else. Can someone just like invade and save us please?
Unfortunately USA is extremely good at violence, probably the best in the world, so I guess you'll just have to fight it out amongst yourselves. But I wish all the best to all the reasonable Americans, that still believe in decency and democracy.
This is most accurate and depressing assessment of the United States I have ever read.
Being a child of the 60's in Europe, the first President I remember is Jimmy Carter. It is really disappointing that we have seen no other president of USA come even close to caliber of Jimmy Carter.
Nobody since can even "Nå ham til sokkerholderne." Sorry but I can't find a fitting translation, the literal translation is "reach his sock holders" the closest AFAIK is "head and shoulders above", but it doesn't really illustrate the huge distance between Jimmy Carter and every US president since.
Back then we dreamed of peace, tolerance and progress of society. Since then it's been all about money, and at the most scraping a few benefits for the worst off.
So when you say it's depressing, you are goddam right it's depressing. USA threw away their future, mostly to just benefit big oil and the 1%. But more than that, almost all of the developed world is following in the footsteps of USA!? So although it's not nearly as bad, we are going the wrong way too. 😥
Sorry, you've spent 75 years arming your own government to the point of making this impossible. In the name of "security". Do you feel secure yet?
https://www.irs.gov/forms-instructions
Read the instructions, download what you need, print it out, fill it out, and mail it in.
Even better, use the free fillable forms. You can fill them out and submit them all within your browser, no mail or paper required. Even has a do the math button that will add stuff up for you.
Have been using it for the past two tax cycles and once you understand it it's quite easy, only 2 pages needed if you're doing the standard deduction with a w2.
And get fined because I'm overseas and the mail takes so long to get there the IRS fines me for a late filing
Last time the IRS sent me mail here it took almost half a year for me to receive it
I read the tweet. He is either referring to the people who are no longer there as being gone, or he is referring to the software, which is still here, as being gone. It seems clear he is referring to the people who are no longer there as being gone.
More fluff and smoke to generate outrage. Get that unelected creep out of our government.
