Welcome to Thunderdome

The government knows what to do with all my data, why can't I just let them? Or something. ugh.

Me: MA, I need to sign up on your site to pay you quarterly estimated taxes.
MA: OK, sign up here.
Me: OK, I filed with you for 2021, so I need to click the "I've filed before"
MA: Yep
Me: (clicks)
MA: Nope.
Me: But I filed before, you can see the $$ I paid you?
MA: Yep.
Me: So I clicked that I've filed before?
MA: Yep.
Me: (clicks)
MA: Nope.

So a year from now I'll probably be bitching about the penalties they charged me for not signing up.

MA also asks "Would you like to pay 5.85% instead of 5.00% of your income for taxes?"

I wonder how many people say yes.

Filed my taxes a month ago, still waiting for my state refund.

That's a shitload of taxes.

Broker: your 1099 is ready

Turbo Tax: no it isnt.

me: i can see the pdf.

Finished my taxes today. I still have some investment in the place where I worked/retired from, and the K1 arrived TODAY. Legally it has to by March 15th, but it never has. This was the latest ever.

Small refunds from all 3 places (Federal, NC, MA).

All I could think of while finishing was this article in the WSJ about people being increasingly likely to cheat on their taxes this year due to the gutting of the IRS.

Carlos Mencia charged with 12 felonies over tax evasion.

Shocking that someone who made a career on stealing other people's jokes would also cheat on his taxes.
