    It only took 4 hours, this year... Hour one: Find and download a Tax Program that would run on WinDoz7 on my Dell Laptop, because the MacBooks have to old of MacOS to support any of todays Tax Programs... Hour Two: Input all the data, by hand, because none of the download functions were from places that sent in Tax Data to the IRS... Hour Three: Checking, Printing, Signing, and gathering all the Documentation that goes along with the IRS 1040SR forms when you have to mail your return to the IRS... They will not accept an Email Filing if you do not remember your Gross Income from 2019... Hour Four: Going to the Post Office, and getting the legal size envelope to mail all the papers to the IRS, and then addressing the envelope, and paying the Postage to mail it, and driving back to where we are staying... Long afternoon, but it is DONE, and AlaskaChick gets her NEW 13” iPad Pro, when the Refund hits the Bank Account... Yippy Do Dad...

    Got in under the original DeadLine, before Bidumbs one month and two day Extension..

    madmax Far right. Bipolar. Veteran. Don't push me.

    We just paid a little old lady with a physical disability to do ours. She worked for the IRS. No worries. Helped her out. Win win.

    The difference between what the IRS robbed from you, during the Tax Year, and what they figure you actually owed in Federal Income Tax... Seems to me the whole thing is Political Thievery on a National Scale, but I will pay my Taxes, because mine are going to buy Drone Rockets to kill Taliban Bad Guys, from 20,000 feet..

    Really? Hmmm.... here I thought I was paying for drones and someone said you were one of unfortunate folks stuck paying for the Critical Race Theory training for Federal employees?
    Nice to know that was bad info.

    Taxes, we don't need no stinking taxes!

    After getting dry raped in capital gains a couple years ago, and the fact that I'm drawing retirement, I'm actually in the green, so the feds owe me a bit more then they would like! Wife on the other hand just took an early retirement due to her employer demanding the damn Covid shots, and her absolute refusal, cause science, so it's going to be an interesting year for her! Fortunately, she got a full severance package and early retirement, plus bonuses owed, which Uncle Oregon will want it's pound of flesh from, but the feds might end up owing her, Don't know yet!

    Funny thing is they need none of it.

    Total federal revenue 2020: 3.5 trillion
    Total federal spending 2020: 6.5 trillion
    (Banner year.....we've 'only' been going 1/2 to a trillion a year in the hole for the last 15 years)

    Difference financed with 'borrowing', most of which the FED bought with keystroke money. IF they can keystroke up 3 trillion, another few minutes work could keystroke up the other 3.5 trillion, meaning tax collection is not needed.

    you nailed it and they even have a name for it, Modern Monetary Theory. The high priestess for it right now is Stephanie Kelton. She wrote a book last year that says you can print/keystroke about all the money you want. All the leftists and dems are lapping it up. Too bad they are all clueless about history and how it didn’t work out so well for Germany, Austria, Hungary, Brazil, USSR, Venezuela, Zimbabwe and even to a lesser extent Great Britain.

    Instead of paying my taxes I just sent all of my money directly to NAMBLA and the Church of Satan. Strangely the IRS was good with that...

    [yes I am making a joke if you needed to ask]
