Death By Taxes: HELP!
Tweet
I need help here..I think we all do. Hear me out.
I am married. I raise my niece. So for tax purposes, I have a wife and a child. Me and my wife both work and we do OK. Middle class. Our tax with-holding is W1.
I have to pay $4,000.
I went to three different places and I did it myself. Same result.
We saved a few bucks by filing Married: filing Separate.
Then I get a letter from the IRS about the special money we are getting this summer, saying that if we file Separate, we get $300 a piece. If we file JOINT, we get $600 a person. WTF? Now I have to file an amended return. Thanks.
It gets worse…
I just heard that the money we get this summer, will come out of next year’s tax returns? Is this true or a nasty rumor? can somebody please give me a NO-SHIT reference? Is this really a sort of “loan” or “advance”?
Whoever gets elected next will do well by pulling their cock out of my ass.
Semper.
