#how to file taxes

[bitchesgetriches]

Kinda a weird question, but do you have file taxes of someone who died? Assuming you are the surviving family member of some sort? I’m assuming it’s definitely if your spouse dies, but I never really thought about it.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: it depends.

We ain't tax experts, so we recommend if you're the heir to their estate, you consult with the IRS on how to handle this.

What Happens If You Lie on Your Taxes?

No one likes to file taxes, but it's one of those civic duties you can't ignore. Every tax season, it's wise to work with a Brooklyn tax advisor to get your ducks in a row, maximize your tax savings and put taxes behind you until next year. While tax professionals can help you do things right, some people do it themselves and fudge the truth to lower what they owe.

Of course, you should never lie on your taxes. But what happens when you do?

Tax Perjury

Let's get one thing clear: Lying on your taxes is illegal. It's a federal crime! Even white lies can get you into hot water with the IRS.

Lying on tax documents is a crime known as tax perjury. Typically, tax perjury occurs whenever an individual intentionally files fraudulent documents. You also break the law when you help someone else do so. Both the tax filer and the preparer can violate federal law by lying.

There are many instances in which the federal government will pursue perjury charges. Some common examples include misidentifying a main source of income, lying about deductions or falsely claiming a non-eligible dependent.

Tax Evasion

In serious cases of perjury, lying can teeter into tax evasion territory. Tax evasion is when someone attempts to get out of paying taxes. Your actions in lying could qualify for evasion.

What are the Penalties?

Tax perjury comes with some serious penalties. The crime is punishable by up to a year in federal prison! But that's not all. Individuals who commit tax perjury can receive a fine of up to $25,000. Corporations who commit perjury may pay up to $100,000.

If your actions turn into tax evasion, the ramifications are even worse. Tax evasion is punishable by up to five years in prison and can come with fines of up to $100,000 for individuals or $500,000 for corporations.

Do yourself a favor and file your taxes honestly. Work with a Brooklyn tax advisor if you struggle to fulfill your tax obligations. They can help you set up payment plans and find options to assist you. It's better than breaking the law, risking prison time and paying steep fines.

Sea Cryptic! Danny AU- Pt.3

[Pt.1] [Pt.2] [Pt.4] [Pt.5] [Pt.6] [Pt.7] [Pt.8] [Pt.9] [Pt.10]

“Aquaman.” Batman swept into the room, beelining straight for the suddenly apprehensive Atlantean king.

“Batman. What can I do for you?”

“Phantom. Does he pay taxes?”

“Pardon?”

Batman makes a low noise that had Aquaman’s danger senses buzzing.

“Does Phantom have to pay taxes. Towards Atlantis.”

“No…? Why?”

“He wanted money, in exchange for… information, of a delicate sort,” Batman said, diplomatically avoiding the topic of Phantom bargaining for the identities of corpses in exchange for a measly $100 dollars per identity. Like a flea market dealer, that one was.

“You encountered Phantom again?” Aquaman perked up.

“Yes. Gotham’s bay is… polluted.” Batman paused. “With victims. Of murder.”

The entire area quieted as heads turned towards the Dark Knight.

“Yes, I am… distantly aware of Gotham’s waters.” By that, Aquaman gets green around the gills whenever he turns his awareness in that direction. There’s a reason he doesn’t enter Gotham, and the Dark Knight’s ban is only half of that reason. “Ah, but you’re correct. For what purpose would Phantom need mortal currency?”

“Hn.”

“Maybe he needs some stuff?” Flash zipped to a stop next to Batman, feet tapping as he dug into the pile of snacks cradled in his arms. “Us mortals are always coming up with new things, maybe he wants to try some games or something?”

Batman tilted his head down, seriously considering Flash’s suggestion. “It’s plausible.”

“Barry, Barry, Barry. He’s old as hell, right? He probably wants to try the new booze!”

“Hal, my man!” Flash fist bumped Green Lantern, who came up. “You’re back! What happened to John?”

“Dunno. He got called somewhere that way,” Green Lantern waved a vague hand towards the left. “Had to deal with a politician or something from that area.” He shrugged, swinging an arm over Barry’s shoulders to put him in a headlock and stealing a chip.

“Huh. Anyways, would our mortal alcohol even work on a demi-god or something?”

“We should ask!” Hal turned towards Batman. “You should ask if he wants to go for a drink, spooky!”

“He’s a child.”

“He’s been around for more than a millennia, Bats.”

“Informational gathering, right, Hal?” Flashgot out of the headlock, quickly munching on his snacks to stop Green Lantern from stealing them.

“Totally. Yup.”

“…Fine.”

“Wait, are we just gonna ignore that Gotham’s waters are full of bodies?”

“Yes.”

——

“What?” Danny asked, mind half on the bags he’s dragging out of the water and the other half on the essay he has to submit in about four hours.

“Green Lantern wanted to invite you out for a drink.”

Danny turned to the stoic Gotham knight, who had his wrist computer out to log the bodies’ info the moment Danny gave him the information. Some of them even told Danny who murdered them, so Batman could start building cases with solid leads.

Danny’s only twenty. He’s not legal yet but he doesn’t want to give any clues to who he is. How is he supposed to…

Ah!

“Can’t.” Danny shrugged. “I’m not legal. I died when I was fourteen so…” Danny trailed off, speechless at the drowned puppy face Batman was giving him. What the fuck.

“Anyways, fork over my payment.”

Batman wordlessly hands him a wad of hundreds.

“What do you need cash for?” Batman suddenly asked.

“Huh? Isn’t it obvious?” Danny tucked it in. “Material things, obviously. I need a blanket,” because holy shit, Gotham is damn cold this time of year. “Anyways, see you same time next week, litterer.”

“I don’t litter.”

“Tell that to the batarangs I found under the water,” Danny grumbled. “But I’ll stop calling you that if you get a signature from Poison Ivy. I have a friend who loves her.”

“An alive friend?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know, weatherboy?”

Danny snickered and disappeared. He’s gotta cram that essay.

——

“There’s a possibility Phantom might be homeless.”

“Batman, I mean this in the nicest way, but for the love of Atlantis, please stop giving me headaches. It’s time like these I wish I stayed a lighthouse keeper.”

Putting this comment on here because I feel like I’m actually going insane…

It seems like nobody in the comments even watched the video, complaining about how paying for content is difficult in this economy, like, that's why they are doing this! They cannot continue to make the content they want for free based on ads and sponsors alone. If you have paid attention to the "Making Watcher"s of recent years, their company is not, and has not been profitable. They are so dependent on advertisers for funding that it is becoming a restriction to the content they want to make (y'a know, like Buzzfeed was), so they had to find a solution. I don't know why you all seem to think you are entitled to free content, I understand not everyone can afford it but Watcher doesn't owe you content personally. Frankly, I doubt they wanted to put their content behind a paywall, but if it's that or not make content at all, of course they are going to try to find a solution. So no, they aren't "turning into Buzzfeed” because the massive problem with Buzzfeed was its restrictions on creative freedom and exploitation of its workers. If Watcher wants to produce fulfilling content that gives their editors, designers, producers, etc full creative freedom and a livable wage, this is the best option. If you want them to pay their workers the bare minimum and tailor their content to advertiser interests just so you can watch it for free, that's fine. Just don't pretend that they are some evil media mega-corporation and you are the anti-capitalist shining hero for saying it. You don't have to like it, and you don't have to continue to support them, but don't try to shame and demonize them for making an already difficult decision.

Many of you DO have an understanding of the difficult position our current economic system puts people in because you have experienced it, but you are so unable to extend that understanding beyond your own point of view. Look past yourself for a moment and think critically, and maybe you will understand their perspective. Much love for all of the talented people within Watcher who are doing their best.

And just to add, their format going forward is almost IDENTICAL to CollegeHumor-Dropout's streaming service format (even down to the free premieres and advocating for sharing accounts with friends), which most people praise to high heaven as "the only ethical streaming service." As a huge fan of both companies the stark difference in response here is actually astounding...

The main Justice League conference hall, but it's just Barry with his head in his hands, Batman (already pinching the bridge of his nose under the cowl), and a strained but hopeful Superman staring at a small car's worth of unfiled tax documents and receipts all across the table.

Americans and friends of Americans: please reblog this, here and elsewhere. Reblog it often. Propublica can be trusted and it should not cost money to file our fucking taxes.

Draw Wheatly doing taxes

You think Wheatley would pay taxes????

[coockie8]

There's no way any anti who throws the "go file your taxes" insult is actually an adult, right? 'Cause an adult would know you literally only file your taxes once a year and only at a like really specific time of year usually :/

Would You Rather Owe Taxes or Get a Tax Refund This April? The Answer Might Surprise You!

A few years ago I asked Lauren this question: “When it comes time to file your taxes, would you rather receive a tax refund or owe taxes to the government?”

“Get a tax return. No question,” she answered.

Which surprised me! Because as far as I was concerned, I’d much rather owe taxes than get a tax refund. I told her as much, to which she said “Just wait until your income increases. You’ll change your mind real quick the first time you get a five-figure tax bill.”

So what was that all about? Which Bitch had the right answer? Is there a “right” answer?

Today I want to go over a little-known quirk of the tax system, one that affects taxpayers from all across the income spectrum. And in the end, I’ll go over what you can do about it to save yourself the most money in the coming tax season.

Are There Tax Law Changes Every Year?

Preparing your taxes can be a confusing and overwhelming process. There are many forms to fill out and laws to follow. But one of the most frustrating aspects of tax season is learning about the changes in tax laws.

That's why hiring a professional Brooklyn CPA is important when tax season comes around. They know the ins and outs of current tax law and can prepare your taxes to ensure 100 percent compliance.

Tax laws can change every year. While the core regulations usually stay the same, a few details can vary from year to year.

Standard Deductions

One part of tax law that typically changes annually is the standard deduction. The standard deduction is a dollar amount you can subtract from your taxable income. While you can make itemized deductions, the standard deduction works best for most people.

The reason why the standard deduction changes every year is because of inflation. It increases a small amount. For example, the standard deduction for individuals in the 2023 tax year is $13,850. That's a $900 increase from the standard deduction in 2022.

Tax Brackets

Another tax law that can change yearly is tax brackets. Like the standard deduction, tax brackets see minor increases to account for inflation.

A tax bracket reflects how much you owe in federal taxes based on your adjusted gross income. Bracket changes are minor but can be significant if you're near the threshold. Increases could move those previously on the bottom of a tax bracket down to the lower one.

Major Changes

While major changes to tax laws don't come annually, there were a few in 2022. The pandemic saw temporary expansions to child tax credits. Those expansions helped put more money into the pockets of people affected by the pandemic and its economic impacts. In 2022, those credits returned to what they were pre-pandemic. Therefore, fewer people will qualify for the credit. Those that do may also see a smaller return.

If you need help navigating tax law changes, don't hesitate to go to a Brooklyn CPA. Professionals study tax laws and stay updated on changes, passing that knowledge on to you to ensure you do your taxes correctly.

There’s this pretty big disparity I’ve noticed between how nolan (omniman) is interpreted in mainstream stuff vs his like actual character in both show/comic

Fanon nolan interpretation:

-doesn’t feel remorse or empathy

-oh he’s soooo cool he’s so swag and smooth talking

-genuinely doesn’t care for his son esp not his wife

-never cared for the guardians

-you don’t get it he’s actually right guys!! Genocide good!

-this also ties in with just reducing mark to the “guy who gets beat up nonstop” and debbie to “the pet”

-they definitely think this version of nolan abides by human bigotry shit like sexism

Canon nolan (according to show and comic):

-oblivious to A LOT of social cues and overall very socially inept (very blunt and dry tone of voice so he always sounds kinda mad even if he isn’t)

-actually cares about his family and friends but has trouble expressing it verbally, more show than tell

-cared ab the guardians and they were his friends but he repressed the hell out of what he did bc of guilt (and he’s dumb)

-says things like “curses” and “moon it up”

-monologues a bunch like holy shit

-very physically affectionate with the people he’s v close too (he also smiles guys!)

-makes jokes without trying (kinda hard to catch bc of the deadpan tone at times)

-would realistically be confused by earth’s own forms of bigotry and shit

-bookworm and wrote and documented things even before becoming a writer on earth!

-feels extreme remorse and guilt for his past actions but again has trouble showing it

Today I created my own holiday called “handle your shit saturday” in which I had to actually deal with all the shit piling up in my house and actually do the projects I’d been planning and it was so satisfying and made me feel SO much better. If you’re struggling rn, I highly recommend, even if you just handle a small chunk of your shit, giving it a name made it feel all official and whatnot and somehow let me trick myself into doing things I’ve been putting off since November.
