Remember that the Tax industry is a thing and they routinely lobby the government to make taxes as complicated and opaque as possible so you're forced to rely on them. Elon musk is an oligarch and does the bidding of other oligarchs, America is an oligarchry.

Elon Musk coup news

So, as you may know, this weekend Elon took over the Treasury Department with a group of engineers, and while there are several lawsuits, fights, discussions, and people revolting at this moment(Please continue, we need to make sure they know we are not going to let this go.)

We now know some of the things he did, is doing, and a reason; so, first, he eliminated a program that democrats fought over in which you can file taxes for free, it was a new tool that would allow thousands of taxpayers to file them without having to go and pay someone or a corporation to do them, it is as of now gone, just in time for tax season.

Second, he is telling people that work from home that he is not going to give them their rightful money if they keep working from home.

And third, last time when the Trump administration cut the taxes on the rich, it was hard to do because they would have to find the money to make up for it, which is why they are trying to cut so many agencies now, once again lawsuits and discussions are happening right now as a direct result, but that doesn't change that this is just so they can fill their pockets and fortunately enough it seems Congress is mad about the overstepping of power and they don't have military support.

Also, Trump's plans to get Gaza have already stepped in by international law and a court of law, so there is that.

It’s that time again! The Ides of April approacheth. Time to pay the piper, render under Caesar what is Caesar’s, and pay your dues, for there is nothing sure in the world save death and our topic for the day. Yes, that’s right: It’s officially tax season yet again. RUDE. Over the years we’ve covered many aspects of taxes—from how to file them for free to what to do if you fuck ’em up. So today…

[valentinsylve]

Instead of reblogging the OP which didn't have correct information, I'm signal-boosting these links which another helpful person added. I won't tag them because i don't know them and it might be rude idk.

The free tax-filing on the IRS page is still operational! It's still only been rolled out in 25 states, but check and see if yours is one of them.

Hi! Imma do something rare and actually make content, but its 11 at night and i just had a brain worm

for those of you that don’t know, i work at an accounting office. we do taxes. it is tax season. and now im thinking abt how AGSZC does taxes and what their papers are like and im inflicting it on the rest of you even if its gibberish

Angeal: A godsend. Keeps his forms in order and filed properly, calculates everything else himself like a good man. Papers honestly aren’t too bad, maybe 10-12 just because of his career/insurance plus his doubtless donations to charity, but aside from that. straightforward and done at his kitchen table

Genesis: A fucking NIGHTMARE. no doubt pays someone else to do it. and for fucks sake, i know he invests. constantly and consistently and probably in anything he thinks stands the slightest chance against shinra on the market. his 1099-B is a mess and definitely Not Totaled, so his is the bullshit you have to insert one. investment. at. a time. He’s the type that keeps fucking calling too, I can just tell. but, aside from the 1099-B, he’s probably got simple stuff as well. probably several 1099-INTs from several different bank accounts, maybe a couple 1098s floating around from vacation houses or some shit.

Sephiroth: Does his own. In ridiculously early. Makes almost no personal purchases so hardly has anything to pay. I can’t imagine not having a last name or not knowing his birthday doesn’t end up a legal problem somehow, so he likely has to walk directly into a damn tax office to say hey this is me and this is my shit no, someone isn’t stealing my identity. has one singular document and it’s his W-2. Which is. Fucking astronomical. Like, the number doesn’t even look right. His paycheck as a SOLDIER isn’t taxed, so he doesn’t really get much back on his refund. The only first without a healthcare /insurance form because why tf would Sephiroth have healthcare? What’s he gonna do, get sick?

not getting into how doing his own taxes was definitely a fight between him and Hojo at some point and ended up getting hashed out in a board room. Hojo didn’t like him having the autonomy of filing for himself instead of being claimed ad Hojo’s ‘dependent’. Sephiroth deadass threatened to go to court abt it. The President told Hojo to suck it up so they didn’t have to deal with scandal, Hojo wouldn’t tell Seph his birthday to be difficult, and here we are

Zack: Panicking. Late. Doesn’t know if his forms came in the mail, doesn’t know where he put them most of the time. Scrambles around for a fuck ton of receipts, ultimately has to request Shinra send him his shit again. DEFINITELY pays someone else to do it. W-2, 1095-A, 1099-C(s)(he has several debts i can feel it i love him but he screams bad financial decisions), probably some shit for his bike too. He customs it so I can see him listing some parts he buys for it as work expenses. Jokingly puts some money he gave aerith for flowers and what he spent to make her wagon as donations to charity and it actually goes through because the church is still considered a legal entity. Definitely has to pay late fees.

Cloud: Pays Tifa to do it. Filing for both of them is a nightmare cause all their shit burnt in Nibelheim, so once Edge gets right with the WRO they have to do all their paperwork from scratch and get reassigned SSNs. He genuinely has a fuckton of paperwork from doing the Strife Delivery Service. Luckily, only ‘employee’ he has is Tifa, and even then she doesn’t do things regularly aside from pick up the phone. Doesn’t make his business an LLC until he’s literally forced to due to his number of clients and someone trying to sue him for damages. 1099-NEC for TIfa for sure, then once he’s an LLC, some yearly maintenance to keep legal. Mileage and gas expenses go CRAZY on his self employment form, I fucking bet. I bet Cloud’s handwriting is shit tho. Tifa’s at her desk counting up his gains and losses for fucking ages because his fives look too similar to sixes. Eventually she wrangles him into installing some shit on his phone that counts it up, if only to cure her headache. Funnily enough, he does get veteran benefits from what’s left of Shinra’s shit, reparations of sorts, but he doesn’t keep it. All goes to charity, so that ends up in the books too.

alright, that was unnecessarily in depth and way longer than i planned. good night LMAO

Hey guys I discovered to today that a lot of the websites required to determine where to file your taxes for free are down. So if you are in the US, I have provided a link down below this where you may access free filing partners. This is for anyone that makes less than $84,000 a year, please do not spend a dime on your taxes. I promise it is easy, you're going to take a photo of your W-2 and confirm the numbers match. Once you make sure that everything numerical wise is fine. Make sure you go through every single deduction. Go through different ways see how you can save the most or get more money back.
