or countries I'm sending all this money to (on tax day) would get a little card saying "this donation, payment, handout" is courtesy of DawgNatty!
At least that way there would be some chance of getting a thank you note, right?

LOL, hadn't thought of that but DAMN if they didn't hit my bank account first thing this morning. They can lose billions w/o accountability, but they sure as heck didn't miss my money

Man, F the IRS with a rusty fork. Not being able to claim dependents, after having that on my taxes for most of the year last year, hit hard. Wasn't hoping the damage wouldn't be too bad. Maybe $2-3K. Nope, $5K+.
Needs to be another revolution for "taxation without representation", because that's what we have these days. Ain't no body want what they are freaking doing with it.
I'm a natural procrastinator, but knowing it was gonna suck, I waited til the last minute. So I'm just a bit pissed off this morning.

Unpopular opinion, but the IRS does a great job with the shitshow they've been handed by Congress. The ridiculous laws are bad enough, but all the carve outs and clauses is what makes it absolutely absurd. Bitch at your congress person and don't stop. Don't bitch about the amount, it'll fall on deaf ears. Bitch about the complexity.

Don't disagree with that, and been inline with something I've said for years. Probably my biggest problem with Laws and taxes is that they are so damn complex they need a "specialist" (aka Lawyers) to figure it out.
But I'll blame the IRS too. That's a government job for you, they just want to maintain their pension and cush job.
