LonelyDid you already get your return?
LonelyHate to hear it. If it's the larger one it'd be your fed....probably.
The people that I know that went through audits said it was stressful, but at the end of the day the people doing the auditing just want to clear it and move on and we're polite enough in doing so. Now to be fair those were friends who worked normal jobs, didn't do illegal shit and just had small discrepancies.
You a 1099 person?
VTshredder69If your income is below say 100K i don't think you have much to worry about. Unless you cheated on purpose.

r00kieI know some 1099 people who would not do well in an audit. Had coworkers when instructing who would report not only their ski gear, their spouses a kids as business expenses and report s loss every year.

LonelyYeah 1099 people seem to get hit more than your average W2 only people in my anecdotal experience.
Icant_kfedI cannot confirm nor deny having an additional under the table job
LonelyUnfortunately income is still income. I've filed 1099's before for next to no income just to be safe.
eheathits wack because in both situations the IRS knows exactly how much you owe/how much you should get back, yet they force one to file their own taxes and then slap you with an audit. Its like giving a 5th grader a college math test, they're setting us up for failure.

VTshredder69Lol. They don't know if you're taking the standard deduction or itemizing your deductions. They don't know if you've been divorced or filing jointly. They don't know if you purchased a home and have a mortgage, or if you've have a kid.
Literally all of those things depend what you owe or what you get back.
freestyler540Sure its an audit and not an assessment? They are very different: an audit is showing all the papertrails and an assessment is running the numbers you supplied to the irs and see if they match.
i get assessed at least 3 times a year and I make about 60K.
eheathimagine defending the IRS, those are all things that give the citizen more money back so of course they want to make that more difficult, you could literally send them a short questionnaire and they could take care of 90% of peoples taxes.
when it comes to reported tax income, they know it all, you're suppose to determine your adjusted income that dictates your final tax bracket, it's all a racket.
VTshredder69I'm not defending anyone. I'm just correcting your stupid ignorant statement. Since you make a lot of them.
You've clearly never filed your own taxes before if you think they can know everything you owe without asking questions about everything you can put against your income to pay the least amount you can.
It's not their job to give you an amount and make you pay it, its your job to fight the system and get back as much of your own money as you can.
Don't liberals want free healthcare? You do realize how much MORE you'd be paying in taxes for that . LOL
DURRR

eheathneither of you know shit about fuck.
theabortionatorWait, you guys pay taxes?

C.R.E.A.MI respectfully disagree, the IRS will help you with your filing (within reason). There is also a short form called the 1040ez which is designed for the 90% you described.
Check it out:

eheathyou're completely missing the point. doing your taxes is easy as fuck and if its complicated you can probably afford a CPA, its just bullshit that the goverment is pawning off work on private companies and citizens when it should be handled by the goverment, they just don't want to take 1% of budget and put it towards it. The IRS essentially exists to check peoples taxes, why not just do it for us and then we have no problems? just seems like an assbackwards 19th century type of system that could be completely changed by technology and money.
eheathbro you are literally forcing yourself to make an argument and its pathetic as fuck. the IRS know exactly how much income you make (unless you dont report it of course) and knows exactly how much you owe/are owed. The IRS gets lobbied to keep it this way so that CPAs can get paid and the government can spend less (albeit, a fraction of the overall budget). This is a fact, not something you can argue. The government should be doing our taxes for us, its backwards as fuck.

VTshredder69No They don't know how much you owe when you itemize your deductions.
Stop making stupid statements. You're wrong now shut the fuck up

Farmville420If the government did our taxes for us, how would the wealthy be able to use loopholes to dodge paying their taxes???
On a real note once I get my money up I can assure you I’m never paying this shit again, taxes are insane. $15 from every Colorado resident is $100,000,000 annually. The tax rate here is about 20% of your paycheck, we are talking billions of dollars annually for one state, enough to pay 1 million people 60k a year. And I know for a fact there ain’t 1 million state employees, and I know for a fact teachers don’t make that much, or that the money goes to infrastructure. Kids gotta pay for their own lunches at school, if you start running rough numbers you realize this shit is actual tyranny.

eheathYou might want to look up what you're actually paying for, taxes go towards lots of good things too and that shit is expensive, and that's not mentioning the billions we spend on military alone.
Farmville420sure it goes towards “good” things as well but also if the money isn’t going towards infrastructure, education, healthcare or housing then to be completely honest I don’t believe it’s going towards anything truly good for the better of society.

Icant_kfedIt’s all going to the military, roads are shit, teachers don’t get paid, but god damnit Ukraine needs our money more than our own people without water from train derailments
Farmville42018.3 BILLION is absurd. Might as well buy the fucking country and fight that war ourselves at that point. Laughable foreign policy
Icant_kfedI thought it was around 40, but even then we still have no reason to be involved, let’s just go help out a country fighting with Russia because we need a second Cold War
thankagaperamerica started the war, and continues funding it.
fauci, nancy pelosi, hunter biden, and american bio labs in ukraine...
Putin is trying to protect his people from us....
imagine china had bio labs in mexico, fuck, they prolly do.

PacificRimJobI still have no fucking clue what the big hullabaloo is about this dude. Literally, nobody besides recreationally outraged pearl clutchers give a single actual fuck about this dude or what he put up his nose.
BradFiAusNzCoCaIn NZ they did it all for me. i just received the refund. Didn’t have to file a thing. I could dispute if I wanted. In Australia, it was all in a central database. I just verified and sent it off.
USA makes us do our own taxes because of accounting firms and tax lobbyists. Takes about 2 seconds of googling. H&R Block, Turbotax, etc etc
