Musk says he 'deleted' IRS easy filing team that let Americans file taxes for free online

Just the whims of a tech billionaire

And Afrikaner racist. That was the group of people that literally ran a white supremist government in South Africa for 80 years and jailed Nelson Mandela for over 30 years.

Kings. They think they're kings.

If there is any justice, both of these fucks will be dealt with harshly.

I mean, if the past four years of waiting on consequences for Trump is any indication...

"unelected"

They kinda were though, Trump didn't hide the fact that that's what he wanted to do and that's what people voted for.

And now the government wants to privatize as much of the governments functions as possible. So in their view the government providing a service that private companies can provide is overreach.

P.S. freetaxusa.com Free federal filing and cheap state filing. Best I've filed online with after taxact became a shitshow.

I think most everyone suspected this, but being a CEO is a part-time job.

The elites long told us they were the hardest-working Americans.

Don't forget neuralink and boring.

See, I was told this was the result of Midwestern Muslims caring too much about a genocide in Palestine. :-/

I think people put too much weight on the idea of Presidential Vote as people lining up to vote on these sweeping socio-economic reforms. They have to recognize it as a much simpler - almost libidinal - endorsement of The Daddy Party versus The Mommy Party. The choice was never about how efficiently one files their income taxes (a big chunk of Republicans want the entire IRS abolished anyway) or whether the Treasury trades in Bitcoin. It was just whether one personally identified with Trump or Harris as personifications of their political Id.

Not until H&R Block stops lobbying for things to be difficult.

Deporting seems a bit too nice. I was thinking moreso jailtime for about a couple hundred lifetimes

General Strike doesn't appear to have any real benefit to us?

In theory, no. In practice, yes, since a lot of people go to places like H&R or buy tax software to do it.

This online version, as I understand it, was a great way for people that had relatively simple taxes to do it without too much hassle.

But assholes like fElon cannot STAND the threat of a good example of government and something that benefits people they deem unworthy. That's why these dickheads went after the consumer protection bureau, too.

How it works is people calculate what they owe minus their deductions with aditional forms to account for situations that apply to them and then submit the necessary forms but a very large majority of the USA couldnt even be bothered to vote against Trump so clearly they're too stupid to do their taxes. They file separately for state and federal but the forms are roughly all the same.

People pay to have somebody else do it for them or have a program which goes over things in very simple terms.

All of this despite the federal already knowing what you owe and how much you paid.

A handful of states had a system that allowed people to use a free online simplified process, but not all, as it was still being tested.

Yes, the state always serves capital not people.

It fits in perfectly with the real name: Department of Government Enshitification

Read the summary.

Nah, I think its time to collectively refuse to pay taxes. What's the point in paying taxes to a fascist intent on destroying the country and selling it for parts. They no longer represent the people, more now than ever before.

Conversely, if you owe, stall stall stall, file for an extension and stall some more. (This is not tax advice, make sure there are no penalties etc etc.)

But I should procrastinate paying my taxes until the last minute, yes? I have 1099 income that doesn't have taxes pre deducted from it, there's I always have to pay in (which is fine, I budget for it)

Did mine the same day i got my w2. Takes like 30 minutes using freetaxusa

Why would you want your taxes done early? That makes absolutely no sense.

If you expect a refund, you have been doing your taxes wrong. Stop taking exemptions. You always want to owe under $1,000. Refund money is free money you lent the government that pays 0%.

If you owe money, you have even less reason to pay taxes early.

We do.

Everyone under a certain income threshhold can file for free. Every tax app or service must have a free option.

I do mine every year using ufile.ca for free because poor.

Write your tax return by hand and mail it in. The IRS downsized years ago and got rid of the people who read these things. They will try to OCR it and have a computer review it, but if there are issues then surely a human will need to look at it.

Would be a shame if everyone filed taxes in a way that was terribly inconvenient for them.

In theory, that could be the goal. Cripple the government by choking revenue.

In practice, this is not what most people use to file taxes, particularly those who pay substantial amounts. More importantly, those taxes are mostly paid through paycheck withholdings. Most people get tax refunds by filing, or if they came up short through the year they only pay a small amount through this system.

The rich do not pay taxes. You have therefore been identified as a poor. Please remain still for reeducation/organ harvesting.
