I’ll never forget the first year after pharmacy school, after the IRS took my taxes out of each paycheck, I got a sizeable refund back that one year.. but the IRS made me fill out a form/questionnaire basically proving who I was. They had no problem taking the taxes but didn’t wanna give it back

So I had to go to an office to get the form... it was right next to the Medicaid office...

I was the only person in the Social security office... yet the Medicaid office didn’t have an empty chair in the place

Always found that funny

I hate people that say “getting my tax return” but I’m tired of correcting them

You file a return and get a refund idiot

Yes, but refund means you paid in the first place. That’s not the case with most.

EIC needs to go.

Shoot, we have our W-4 set up to where at the end of the year, if we can break even or pay under $400. Then we’re good.

The Earned Income Credit is, quite frankly, income redistribution. It's not enough that it materially affects things, but it's basically a bribe from the politicians to the lower class paid for by the US Taxpayers.

It sounds like you should reconsider your withholdings.

That’s the very essence of earned income credit.

If someone is low income, unmarried, has out of wedlock kids, the government gives them thousands of dollars per kid, up to 3 kids.

It was Nixon's program...doubt very much he was trying to pay reparations.

Businesses love the EIC...thousands of dollars in the hands of people who will spend it all within a month or two. It's economic stimulus, in a way.

I love the "Amazon pays no taxes" crew that believe that businesses actually pay taxes. You pay those dumb arse.

Anytime people saying "this seems like it has become a thing in the last... " and their time frame is within the time social media has grown. The answer is usually.. You have heard about it more due to social media than before.

What pisses me off are the comercial advertisements for 2 months to “get money,” followed by 10 months of political talking points to get others to “pay their fair share.”
