True story - I was at the kitchen table the other day doing my taxes and my daughter walked by and asked why.

110 of 363 Taxpayer Assistance Centers and 5 of 10 call centers are going to be shut down, per a meeting that just happened at the IRS.
During tax season.

Oh come now; there will likely be orders to scrutinize what's sent in NPR workers. Billionaires on the other hand...

I say this to myself. I struggle with this.

He meant to say he was distracting his wife from doing taxes...is it creepy we know this about him?

All I ask for from the IRS this year is a singular focus on returns from the top 1%.

You have a big question to answer

TIme for everybody to DO SOMETHING. tRUMP & VAnce trash Ukraine's President. They are Russian agents. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

It is a logical question and the least scary of the many others that follow from the Musk/Trump “just don’t pay” playbook that both have used to stiff a long line of creditors in business.

I totally felt like a chump doing mine.

lcence.bsky.social•1 day ago

Asked myself the same thing this week. Would they even know?

anissaannalise.bsky.social•1 day ago

i did ours this past weekend & my husband asked when i expect the refund (his guess was thanksgiving) & i thought:

thebutterknife.bsky.social•1 day ago

I filed and got my refund in two weeks. They are operating okay right now. Just file now if you’re owed. I would not file-and put in an extension-if you owe taxes. Let this shit shake out. 🤷🏼‍♀️ They fired the guys going after fraud.

idrivealot.bsky.social•1 day ago

Legitimately wondering what will happen if I just don’t file this year.

heatherk.bsky.social•1 day ago

or file and don't pay maybe?

kcmcarpenter.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wait, I thought you were *not* the numbers/taxes guy in your house?

edwindjb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe we can be billionaires for the day on 15Apr2025. I have the same question as your daughter. Why? Why pay federal taxes when we don’t seem to be spending the money for, oh, experts deciding what this Fall’s flu vaccine will be?
Fallback position: pay it to my Blue state instead of the Feds.

If you’re going to cheat this is a good year to do it

johnmendelson.bsky.social•1 day ago

I mean, if 50 million people decided to not file in protest...

300ps.bsky.social•1 day ago

Did mine and scheduled my payment for 4/14. Maybe I should cancel might be no one there to ever notice it's missing.

marcvonborstel.bsky.social•1 day ago

After the state of the Federal Government now, the IRS actually expects us to pay our taxes?
Got some news for them.

mattyfc.bsky.social•1 day ago

Makes no sense to cripple the agency that brings money into the government and still complain about budget deficits.

robpollard45.bsky.social•1 day ago

As someone who has to fill out a 990 for work, I have had some serious staring into the middle distance.

mardoch.bsky.social•1 day ago

i made that crack earlier

@kairyssdal.bsky.social - the deadline for Los Angeles County residents filing this year has been extended from April 15 to October 15, 2025. Not sure if you had heard.

...Following the disaster declaration issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), individuals and households that reside or have a business in Los Angeles County qualify for tax relief.

Thank you.

It was sent out during the fires.

Do none of the folks screaming 'don't pay' grasp the concept that most working folks already had their taxes withheld from their paycheck? My options were either file and get the overage back, or don't file and let them keep all of it. 'Don't pay' would require a time machine.

Many people in the gig economy pay taxes out of pocket

lauranostill.bsky.social•1 day ago

They just keep raising deficits and reducing incomes and now they don't even want to collect what incomes we have left.

saltymuleblue.bsky.social•1 day ago

Anecdotally, have had unprompted conversations with a variety of people who are wondering if they will file taxes this year.

riskres.bsky.social•18 hours ago

We’ll get a portion of Trump take to off-set those pesky taxes…And please explain DOW surge today???? Russian money in response to Zelensky ambush?

Nothing screams "fiscally responsible" like breaking the mechanism to collect revenue

Tax Jubilee, as a little treat✨
