Sounds to me like we all stop paying taxes as much as possible. Set withholding to lowest possible, don't file in April. Dump the tea into the harbor. I do not feel represented by ANYTHING this corrupt admin has done, they don't deserve our tax dollars.

So basically he's forcing people to pay extra to a private company to file their fucking taxes.

FREE Tax filing is SOCIALISM!

-People who SUPPORT Trump's Government buying a Stake in Intel!

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

If you support Free Tax Filing then you must support the Unconstitutional Anti-American Income Tax.

The Founding Fathers made a blood pact to NEVER do an income tax and ONLY raise money via Tariffs, which is the perfect and Godly way to generate tax revenues. Every president who has ever levied a national income tax has FAILED. And Trump isn't going to fail this nation by letting people pay that tax for free.

By abolishing the free filing provision, we are going to come one step closure to guaranteeing nobody (earning more than $500k/year) has to pay it again.

Trump supporters have a similar brain structure to moths. they see a light (Trump saying something), doesn't matter what it is or if it's attached to something that'll kill them, they'll flock and rave to it regardless

When admitting, even to yourself, that you were wrong/duped feels worse than just dying, lol.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

I try not to feel bad when I'm wrong. There is a whole trillion dollar set of apparatuses at work specifically evolved and designed to trick us into falling for it. I don't judge for being wrong, but for refusing to admit it when it's so clear it is sometimes flabbergasting. I've tried to see what they see to be fair to them, but they believe an election was stolen because somebody walked by a mailbox in Philly. I can't understand that level of guillibility if someone is willing to admit they are wrong.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don’t think that’s it. Have you been on Twitter lately? Every decision he makes is followed by skews of pundits explaining why it’s actually a genius move and how what he’s doing is actually awesome, and without a thought the GOP supporters just eat it up. It’s absolutely nuts. I barely even see anybody pissed about the Epstein files anymore. The only people who supported him that don’t anymore seem to be the supernazis who consider him to be a puppet of Israel and “the Jews.” It’s absolutely fucked.

Anything and everything to hurt Americans.

Hey guys. If I described to you an entity that did nothing but harm average Americans, would you consider that entity to be an enemy of the United States of America?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Yeah, but, hear me out....what if I told you you're now allowed to be openly racist?

And openly transphobic? Would that sweeten the pot?

My Dad told me during a ride in his truck that he was voting for Trump again because he lowered prices for things in his first term and thought he'd do it again. Every bit of news I have seen of him since is shit that's making Dads financial situation worse.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Fuck your dad.

No offense.

What prices did he lower? I thought you guys were having a pandemic and that he was riding on Obama's economy.

There are only three certainties in life (US edition):

  • Taxes
  • Filing your taxes
  • Death
[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

They're just going to have a record high number of people not filing their taxes, and I can't tell if that's the point?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 37 points 3 days ago (2 children)

There's still "IRS Free File", which is a different thing where you have to go through a middle man to get it while they try their damndest to "upgrade" you to the paid version. And presumably they got some kind of money from the US gov either way.

Direct File was a sane program that cut them out and let people file their taxes completely directly. The leeches lobbied against it.

Sigh. I used Direct File last year and it was great. Back to FreeTaxUSA I guess. The least shitty option I'm aware of.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You can still use free fillable forms, you can fill out the raw tax forms yourself online and can submit them online there. Not the best UI, it's literally just the forms, but you cut out the middle man so they don't get more money to lobby congress to keep this dumb system going. It's also free if you make more then $85,000 , which alot of the "free" software isn't.

I managed to get to use this last year before Cheeto Mussolini got rid of it. It was simple, straight-forward and free for the basic filings. Of course that fucking twat waffle would get rid of it.

Fellow non-USians: no they don't have to pay their government for the privilege of being allowed to file their taxes. "For free" here means "without the help of a tax accountant (and online)". I was SO SO SO confused.

Edit: tax adviser? tax agent? some person who knows taxes.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 41 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

It's also not as easy as it is in other countries. It seems like most countries the government knows what you owe and you just verify it. In America the government says "we know already, but you have to tell me what you owe. If you're wrong we're coming after you." So it is a bit more complicated for us and since it's more complicated we use tax prep software or hire tax agents. Some services offer(d) free federal filing and you'd just pay $10-15 for state tax. Now I imagine there's going to be a feeding frenzy for the online services as their prices are going to increase...

Trump will do anything and everything to make sure we have to pay some rich fuck...

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 17 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Oh I wasn't dismissing this as a non-issue or anything, it's clearly bullshit and yet another reason for you to burn cars and billionaires. But I remember when I first heard about this, specifically the "(file) for free" was INCREDIBLY confusing because as ridiculous many, many things the US does may seem to me, (what I understood as) the notion of paying your government a fee to process your taxes was juuust a bit too far out.

You CAN still do it on your own though, just not online, yeah?

So you can't file your taxes online? That's insane. Muricans need to get rid of this dude asap.

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

This has been the status quo for many years. Direct file with the government was released within the last few years, which is what Trump is killing.

Historically, you've had to pay someone like Intuit, H&R Block, or a local tax accountant to walk you through filing. Third parties that will all charge you a couple hundred dollars for the privilege, though the big firms will have online filing. You could also file purely by paper and mail, if you're a psycho (confident that you won't make audit-able mistakes).

The ultimate protest has always been mailing in your taxes

[–] aarRJaay@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

I doubt Trump has ever paid tax in his life

[–] ChogChog@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I’m wondering if the open source work that was released can be built out in a way that we could still generate tax forms to send in.

It’d take some effort to make sure it’s following current tax code however:
