I just cut a check to both Feds and state after filing income taxes on top of the mini fortune they took from me all year for doing well.

Then we see all of the disgusting fraud, waste and abuse that pigs feeding at trough got fat on..:

This has to stop.

Who's WE?

I watched 'em strike the match, but powerless to do anything but scream like a banshee... they gagged me multiple times for it, too.

I'm drawing social security and still paying thousands in federal taxes.

It’s figurative…none of us were ignoring it. What other choice did we have without the hard evidence to flesh out our suspicions?

It’s almost worse that we know and the activist judicial branch is acting up again to prevent action…they risk the populace ignoring their rulings and this will lead to open rebellion or autocratic rule.

Like Franklin said, “It’s a republic if you can keep it”

Quarterly estimated. Yep, they base it on the previous year. If you make a good profit in one year, you pay the same estimated for the next. Then in April Uncle Sam gives you back the difference (usually in credit for the current year) Yes, for many people the government gets your taxes before they know what you’re going to make.

Nobody was fricking sleeping. Anyone with common sense knew these bastards were crooked but, until Trump, they were all on the same team. R and D all have hands in the cookie jar so they weren’t going to do anything.

The most frustrating part is, lots thought they were voting for accountability when the cast a vote for Obama only to end up with no hope or change.

If it all was cut to zero, you'd still be left with Medicare, SS and the military as the vast, vast majority of spending.

That one still blows me away - they want you to pay taxes on money you had withheld... as taxes.

Who is "they"? You determine the quarterly amount, if any, that you choose to pay. Maybe you hire an accountant to recommend an amount, but it is your decision.

If I had a big year but expect the following year to be less, I would never simply match the previous year.

No penalty if you pay 90% of what you will eventually owe or if you pay 110% of previous year's amount. Simply paying the 110% is lazy. Only pay 110% if you expect a bigger year.

I own a business and pay quarterly estimates. Qtr 4 of 2024 was due January 15th. I’m very confused and wondering about whether or not your post is real…..

Every fricking year I see someone post about a trip or purchase they made using their refund.

Maybe I’ll overpay so I wil forget at tax time and think it’s a windfall?

You would be a very bad banker letting someone borrow your money for 0% interest.

How successful was Covid though?

And how stupid you got to be to get tricked by the flu.

They Jedi mind tricked 80% of motherfrickers while the rest of us screamed from the rafters.

And how gullible you got to be to let them pardon the people that did it?
