If you have a standard 1 job W2, that is... literally what already happens, except even with less steps, since they already took the money out of my paycheck.
The 1 job W2 literally takes 15 minutes to fill out if so, and it is pretty much signing off that you didn't make a million dollars on the side that the IRS doesn't know about.
- azinman2 4y agoExcept in the US you still have to file your taxes. They might be the simplest to do, but you still have to. Which typically means people end up using turbotax etc, and paying for the product. Spain's equivalent is basically 'we know you have a kid and this income so here you so. just sign on the dotted line'
- _yb2s 4y agoIn the US you do not need to file if you are confident you don’t owe the IRS money, or if they owe you money and you don’t want the hassle to get it back. If you are able to setup withholdings to exactly match what you owe there is no reason to file. I have skipped filing a few times.
- amanaplanacanal 4y agoYou are still supposed to file if you make over a certain (low) amount of money.
- Amezarak 4y agoThe US federal government (and particularly the IRS) doesn't know what kids you do or don't have. Millions of American kids vanished when the IRS decided that to claim a kid you must provide a valid SSN.
