There are only three certainties in life (US edition):
- Taxes
- Filing your taxes
- Death
Wtf even filing my taxes is taxed
Can we have a tea party
Beer is fermented tea.
FUCK THIS. I should not have to pay a private company to file my taxes!
That’s freedumb, pal.
Well, if you don’t have a complicated tax return, meaning you only have a 9-5 job and no other income streams. You can file it yourself.
Normally I would be easy, but I’m dealing with the federal tax credit for solar. Getting it in under the wire before Trump‘s dumbass cancels the program. Could’ve done it myself with the free site. Probably going to go with a local tax professional now. If I’m gonna spend money, I’d rather go with a local person than giving money to these fucking websites. Their lobbyists got the IRS website taken down in the first place.
Freetaxusa.com has been my filer for the last four cycles
Most free tax services have a income ceiling and the free service is being subsidized by the government. So we are paying our tax money for it, it’s never free. I made decent money so I won’t get the subsidized free service most likely. It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that it’s complete bullshit that they spent the tax money creating a great free tax service and their shelving it to prop up fucking private corporations further. I should not have to pay a second time to a private company to pay my taxes easily. The whole system is fucked. I’m so sick of Trump‘s bullshit. I hate him and these fucktard conservatives so fucking much.
*This is more than just this tax program that has me so mad. I hate the direction of America on so many issues.
Find your masters. Find their children. Vote for every last one.
Then stop paying fed taxes.
Taxes are taken out of your checks before you are even paid. This isn’t practical.
I do have to wonder if everyone stopped paying federal taxes how that would fuck over Trump. Like, would he admit he’s powerless against the numerous? Would he just lie and pretend the money is there? Would he just not pay the bills like he has historically done?
It’s fun to imagine what he would do facing adversity.
taxes are
Get paid under the table.
would he just pretend
Yes. Obviously. Money’s fake anyway. But that would heighten a looooot if contradictions and fracture a lot of coalitions on the right.
Trump supporters have a similar brain structure to moths. they see a light (Trump saying something), doesn’t matter what it is or if it’s attached to something that’ll kill them, they’ll flock and rave to it regardless
Why can’t a leftist candidate do that? What’s the secret sauce? Is it violence, or the threat of violence?
Fascism doesn’t have to model reality, just knit together a story that confirms underlying biases of the “middle class” without questioning the system that privileged them, but is failing.
Leftists have the advantage in that we can describe exactly why your material conditions are eroding while we are more productive than ever, but for someone who was privileged under capitalism, its easier to believe the system that privileged them is good and just, its just foreigners and minorities who are exploiting them.
Stupid followers that need to be told to hate someone.
Could probably succeed on a “hate the billionaires” ticket, if these people weren’t so programmed with capitalism.
We need more Louis Gs.
It’s funny how “someone should murder Trump” would get banned from here, but saying this, which essentially means the same thing, is not
I managed to get to use this last year before Cheeto Mussolini got rid of it. It was simple, straight-forward and free for the basic filings. Of course that fucking twat waffle would get rid of it.
Unfortunately my account never managed to work/register properly. And now it never will. :(
I’m wondering if the open source work that was released can be built out in a way that we could still generate tax forms to send in.
It’d take some effort to make sure it’s following current tax code however:
I wonder how would MAGA respond to it 🤔
These idiots take their single w2 to the H&R table at Walmart and give them a third of their return. It doesn’t affect them.
(I’m making up the third, I have no idea what they charge)
My Dad told me during a ride in his truck that he was voting for Trump again because he lowered prices for things in his first term and thought he’d do it again. Every bit of news I have seen of him since is shit that’s making Dads financial situation worse.
Fuck your dad.
No offense.
I don’t really blame my Dad for it, he’s in a pretty bad spot money-wise. He has to support him, my stepmom, my sister, my two stepsisters PLUS the newborn twins one of them just had, my little brother, my cousin that lives with us, two dogs, a turtle, AND myself whenever I come over. We had so many people living with us at one point he had to set up some new walls and doors in what used to be my little brothers toy room to turn it into two separate bedrooms.
He voted for Trump entirely because of his belief that if he became president again, we would be as financially stable as we were when he was first president. Back when we could afford going on a camping trip twice a year, back when our fridge was regularly stocked with ingredients to make our own lunches, back when he could afford to buy a whole 200$ game console for my birthday, ect. That hasn’t ended up happening and every time I get a glimpse at the news he’s not any closer to doing that. If my Dad was ever a “Trump supporter” I doubt he is now.
Trump’s entire first term economy was good because the stupid shit he is doing now was blocked by the norms that used to exist. He coasted on Obama’s recovery till the pandemic.
What prices did he lower? I thought you guys were having a pandemic and that he was riding on Obama’s economy.
I wouldn’t know cause I was 12 when he first got elected, too busy playing my PS3 and talking with my friends on Google+ to check the current state of the economy.
Anything and everything to hurt Americans.
Hey guys. If I described to you an entity that did nothing but harm average Americans, would you consider that entity to be an enemy of the United States of America?
Israel?
Yeah, but, hear me out…what if I told you you’re now allowed to be openly racist?
And openly transphobic? Would that sweeten the pot?
That depends, can I cosplay as military and send browns to concentration camps too? For more than I currently make as with a Bachelor’s degree and over 10 years experience?
Ew. Unless your bachelor’s is from a for-profit university or a Bible college, that’s going to set you back.
Best I can do is for you to LARP as a 2A activist. No pay but you get to feel like you’re one of the special ones. At least until we don’t need you anymore.
And bail you out for treason?
Don’t worry, maga americans will find some mind bending justification for this. They are a cult.
It’s pretty open. Step 1 is make income tax as painful as possible, step 2 is get rid of it in favour of tarrifs and other regressive revenue generating fees. And MAGA was already convinced that progressive taxation helped people they want hurt.
There’s still “IRS Free File”, which is a different thing where you have to go through a middle man to get it while they try their damndest to “upgrade” you to the paid version. And presumably they got some kind of money from the US gov either way.
Direct File was a sane program that cut them out and let people file their taxes completely directly. The leeches lobbied against it.
Sigh. I used Direct File last year and it was great. Back to FreeTaxUSA I guess. The least shitty option I’m aware of.
You can still use free fillable forms, you can fill out the raw tax forms yourself online and can submit them online there. Not the best UI, it’s literally just the forms, but you cut out the middle man so they don’t get more money to lobby congress to keep this dumb system going. It’s also free if you make more then $85,000 , which alot of the “free” software isn’t.
I’ve always just got the forms from the IRS site and mailed them in. If they’re going to make me work for it, I’ll make them work too.
Freetaxusa is the GOAT for filing. Have all my shit saved on a NAS and it’s so easy.

FREE Tax filing is SOCIALISM!
-People who SUPPORT Trump’s Government buying a Stake in Intel!
Oh there’s still “IRS Free File”, which is a different thing where you have to go through a middle man to get it while they try their damndest to “upgrade” you to the paid version. And presumably they got some kind of money from the US gov either way.

Buying a stake in Intel is not socialism. It’s state capitalism.
It’s corporate socialism later, when the government bails them out.
This is wrong. Socialism is not ‘getting a bailout’. It is a society that has a more equitable distribution of resources. It is a kind of society where bailouts are far less likely to be needed in the first place.
If you support Free Tax Filing then you must support the Unconstitutional Anti-American Income Tax.
The Founding Fathers made a blood pact to NEVER do an income tax and ONLY raise money via Tariffs, which is the perfect and Godly way to generate tax revenues. Every president who has ever levied a national income tax has FAILED. And Trump isn’t going to fail this nation by letting people pay that tax for free.
By abolishing the free filing provision, we are going to come one step closure to guaranteeing nobody (earning more than $500k/year) has to pay it again.
more like:
name of bill: “America the Wonderful and Beautiful”
text in bill: “rat poison now mandatory on tap water”
I doubt Trump has ever paid tax in his life
