I'm one of "those people"....
I'm one of those folks that doesn't get a refund because I choose to do a little math and keep my money throughout the year. There is a penalty for exceeding 15% of amount you owe though so I like to keep it around 12%. So I'm not really complaining THAT I have to pay this time of year, it's my choice.
but I HATE doing my taxes................even with software....I hate everything about it....makes me want to go out and ride a Kaw or Zuk two stroke just to fling a couple of middle fingers to society.....does that make me bad?
And what's with the little signs popping up asking me "how do you feel" as I'm completing them?!? WTF is that?.....does it matter?....and who gives a flyin' how a taxpayer feels? More likely, a "trigger" for algorithms to figure if they can sell you more "assurances" and other stupid add-on's crap but jfc folks, how obvious can they be.....yet I'm sure that Suzy dumbsh*t or Donald dic*, presses that button with the smiley face on it...because they've been trained to do that!
This year, I pushed off doing taxes till this morning. In a few hours, Kerry and I are leaving for vac so I pushed it off about as long as humanly possible without resorting to doing them via laptop, hoping I get reception in the grand canyon on the 18th....yeah, I did think about doing exactly that too!! LOL
So it is done..............and this year, I'm very proud to report when all is said and done, I get 196 whole dollars REFUNDED!
I'm laughing my butt off, I haven't had a refund is 30 some years......but I'm not laughing at the amount.....no......
I'm laughing at the fact that last year, the "tax cut" law cost me 8K outright; yet this year @ roughly the same amount earned & more fed withheld, now shows as a $196 refund with the revised ded's and tables taking affect......it's like telling the frog, "no, we aren't heating the water" LMAO!
It's massive BS!
okay, rant over, for another year......
