So I got my refund check today from the IRS
 

$12.47 what a fucking joke. Our tax system is so fucked up. I should have like 5 more kids then get all the child credits and have the government pay me for having kids like they do for so many others.

don't spend it all in one place :)

and hey, a refund is better than paying imho.

How much income/profit did you file? That could explain the return

Too much. Shit I have bought and resold over the years caught up with me as far as accounting and tax liabilities. 2010 was very bad for me as far as tax liabilities.

A refund would mean he overpaid... so still he paid something

I agree, tax is so fucked up that sometimes it's unbelieveable. sometimes makes you wonder if they are just out to milk you and put you out of business from so many tax liabilities

What urks me is these fucking child tax credits. We are basically paying fat lazy women to sit on thier fat asses, pop out babies one after another and get a big fat check from the IRS every year for it. I don't think this is what Reagan intended when he started this shit back in the day. It was meant to help single moms get back on their feet. Instead it has turned into a way of life for millions of lazy people. If you pay federal taxes you too are paying these fat lazy women money to sit on thier fat ass all day long watching Oprah.

Why would you want a refund? That would mean you over paid through the year.

at least you don't owe $4,167.12 like me

Sounds to me like you did it just about right.

If you had gotten a big refund check it would have meant that you overpaid through the year and the govt. had your money interest free.

I've gotten to where I pay LESS than I should on my quarterly taxes so that they don't get to have any of my money extra than they have to for any amount of time.

I got fucking audited last year. UGH. Turned out OK tho. Only owed a small % of what they wanted.

Actually Child Tax Credits are relief paid back based on taxes on items you incur while having children... taxes on stuff like school shit, food for them etc.

You mean welfare?

I Don't know how you guys are taxed in the US, but 15% on all the crap I have to buy for the kids adds the fuck up fast.

I didn't know that I was a fat lazy Oprah watching woman just because I get the EIC for my son. Thanks for pointing this out for me Choker

That is near perfection if i understand your tax system :)

Doesn't a child cost much more then the credits you get?

Not when you are already on welfare and not using your own money to pay for them.

Hey Choker I am available for adoption. Would love to go back to college and make you proud of me.

So how much that child tax credit check usually is ?

He did not mean honest people, he was raging about big number of dishonest ones (that made it the way of their lives)

if you got a refund you paid too much tax :)

i just got a small business check from the governmnet...nicee

That's enough for a pack of smokes and some gum

I get $3k credit for my son, sure helps for the end of the year income tax
I'm sure it's different in all states

So for having a child you get a tax credit. For having a piece of commercial property I have to pay $9,000 school tax even though I don't have children. Sounds fair.

.

Live abroad, make $92,900 or less, and pay NOTHING.

Or make more than $92,900 and only pay taxes on whatever you earn above that amount.

Otherwise:

1) Suck it up and keep giving away your hard earned money so the gov can pay some of their debt so they can borrow more money to help bail out everyone but you.

2) Make more babies.

3) Say hello to Wesley Snipes.
