My mom got so mad at the “WHY DO I OWE $1800 ON TAXES? CHECK IT AGAIN FOR ANY MISTAKES 😡”

🤣

Okay mom, just lose $36 every week throughout the year and you’d get a $70 refund lmfao, would you be happier that way?

🤣

    The goal in taxes is to get to near as zero in refund as possible. A bonus if your refund is 1-2 digits. Say, $2.30; so then you request a paper check and it actually costs your stupid government money to send you that refund.

      My refund this year was $76 which is as close to 0 as I can get it. I will never understand people who put down a bunch of dependents on their forms for work and then come tax season get gobsmacked they owe thousands to the Federal Government here

        My family income fluctuates a bit more than average so we tend to withhold a bit more just to be safe & make budgeting easier.

        Whatever comes back in the refund gets invested either in stocks or renovations for our creaky old home. Mostly the old home.

        Sure it’s not a perfect system, but it works well enough for us.
