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.
