I had a contractor come sit in my office, “Hey man, all you white boys know how to beat taxes….how you beat the child support people?”


I was in Court and this real specimen of a man gets assessed the state minimum for child support, I think it was 300 bucks a month.

He nearly passed out, started to cry and asked the judge "how am I gonna pay my boat note?" Judge said thats 10 dollars a day? which is more important your boat note or supporting your child? he couldnt answer.

He should have the option like women do to abort it. Sign away everything and be done. Equality.

She should have trolled him. Have an article faked: "Women finds rare $$5000 penny in child support payment." It could have been done.

No …, a person could prefer payment a certain way doesn’t mean that they could refuse legal tender… it’s a court case against the IRS that explains this


IRS and private citizen/business have different rules on being required to accept cash/coins.

A quick Google search reveals:

Yes, the IRS is required to accept pennies as payment for taxes. While private businesses are not obligated to accept cash, the IRS, as a government entity, is required to accept U.S. coins and currency for the payment of taxes, according to 31 U.S.C. § 5103. This means that while some businesses may choose not to accept cash payments, the IRS cannot refuse pennies when a taxpayer is paying their dues.

Elaboration:

Legal Tender:

31 U.S.C. § 5103 designates U.S. coins and currency as legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues.

IRS Obligation:

Because the IRS is a government entity, it is legally bound to accept U.S. coins and currency, including pennies, for tax payments.

Private Businesses:
In contrast, private businesses are not required to accept cash payments unless there is a state law that mandates it. They are free to set their own policies regarding payment methods.

I was cleaning out old files and found something amazing. Apparently my mother owed my dad a sum of money after their divorce. She chose to never pay off the debt and instead paid the interest. I found a whole stack of checks to my dad from the 80s and 90s for $6.66

In 1991? That may be more impressive than $800 today.
