Sure, structuring your spending in advance to optimize taxes is something you might want to ask outside help for. But when it comes to paying your taxes based on how you’ve already used your money, why does it make sense for there to be anything other than one value which both you and the government agree is owed? Why should it be negotiable?
- momokoko 7y agoIf you have an AGI(meaning your income after deductions) of more than $66k a year you have to pay $40-$60. Meaning you likely make $85k+. Come on. Seriously? That's worth making this crazy fuss about?
- wallacoloo 7y ago> that’s worth making this crazy fuss about? You’re making as much a fuss about this as me. If you want to foster productive discussion, at least respond to what the comment you’re replying to was about: why should your tax bill be negotiable after you’ve finalized your spending?
- kchoudhu 7y agoAbsolutely. You're paying a tax to pay your taxes. That's fucked, and doubly so because you're paying the toll to a parasitic company that only exists because of the government's inability to provide basic services.
