    Yup. Good luck getting a federal refund check this year if you’re eligible.

    You file up to five years ago for your taxes. I’m sitting this one out for federal.

      First, if there’s one thing the federal government is good at doing, it’s getting normal people to pay their taxes. Besides, you’ve probably already had the taxes withheld from your payroll and you’re just stalling on the end of year balancing of books.

      Second, I know nobody has told them yet, but we print the money. Not paying your taxes is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts them. If anything it just gives them a valid excuse to go after the people they wanted to go after anyway.

      Don’t change to their whims.

        I just don’t do withholding and invest the money until tax day. It’s a higher return, and they won’t take your refund to pay overdue student loans.

        It’s needs to have people there to do everything. You know, instead of all of them being fired.

          Maybe the one with the greatest personal consequences, and also the one that’s the most routine for them, is not the place you should test first.

        Im nobody’s role modal, and I never said I advise doing anything. I said good luck and this is what I’m doing.
