      I’ll do you one better: we should have return free filing: the government sends you a bill saying what they think you owe. If you agree, you send them a check. If you don’t agree, you send in your paperwork.

      Most countries have figured this out.

          @ToadOfHypnosis @CosmicTurtle0 Want something more bullshit? You get 3 years to find mistakes in your past returns, the IRS gets 7 years to find mistakes, and if’n you owe money, you owe interest since the underpayment.

              @ToadOfHypnosis Not sure, I know that the rules really benefit the IRS, I should’ve owed $1800, but after that, interest (starts on the day it was due), penalties, and fees, I owed $4200. Nice racket they got there.
