Like the fucking “Soft Notice” they sent me last year because I filed an extension because I told my accountant that what I calculated was wrong and that my crypto income should be taxed at a proper cost and that everything else was capital. earnings, so I wouldn’t have to pay 37% of all that, so I had to clean up my own records while paying a lot of money to an accountant to formalize and file everything. Then, after I filed just before October, the IRS gave me a soft notice that I owed another $15,000 in interest and penalties.
Yes, I had a developing alcohol problem, but the tax implications due to the crypto I received as payment almost blew me over the edge just because I was worried night and day that I’m about to be in very hot water despite the fact that I have to pay a ridiculous amount of taxes every year. I’ve seen my struggling father go through a vehicle mileage audit and my girlfriend’s father was actually violated after he immigrated from Switzerland in his mid 40’s, became a US citizen, paid all his taxes, but they found out about the accounts he still had. The European banks he had worked for and ripped off for the best part of his life, he wasn’t living in America when he did this but they sure chased him for over 40% of everything and after the audit he went he paid for it He’s one of the biggest undocumented Trump supporters I’ve ever met, but when he went through that audit of the money he wanted to leave to his kids, it almost gave him a heart attack.
So sorry for the language and hostility, but screw the IRS, screw this government and overtaxing its own citizens while the real criminals get all the benefits and contribute NOTHING. This kind of crap hurts me because of the “gentle” interactions me and friends/family have had. There is no soft warning when it comes to this mob and I haven’t even been on the receiving end of the barrel with the IRS, I’ve just worried and worried, I paid too much because I wouldn’t face the hard ones repercussions I know they are capable of it.
Taxes are theft, and if we could end employer’s withholding, then people would see their full gross pay and feel the pain of having to pay it back to a corrupt bunch of bloodthirsty thieves. That would change a lot of opinion when it comes to taxes, which is why neither side has been pushing for it. We need men with the drawers of George Washington and his, I have come up short, these heroes would not have put up with this for a second!
