Absolutely! Let's make a sherpa is included to help us with the difficult task of making sure our glasses are never empty!

My favorite podcast white noise is No Such Thing As A Fish. https://www.nosuchthingasafish.com

hold on.. yes they do. A penguin's legs are built up of a femur, knee, tibia and fibula, just like yours. Their legs may appear short and stubby, but don't be deceived, most of them are concealed by feathers.

They randomly pull calls & listen to them. I'm sure no one ever heard this conversation

He probably wasn't able to transfer it anyway....

Because companies like Intuit (which owns TurboTax) bribe-- I mean, *lobby* the government not to do the people's taxes for them.

Don’t forget to tip

In Germany and the Netherlands you have to file your taxes in spring, too. Most things are already filled in by the government (NL) or the Elster software copies it from the previous year (D). The reason one has to have a thorough check, with or without an advisor: There might have been some one-time or unexpected expenses only you know about, e.g. gifts to charities, medical expenses or a gazillion of other expenses, which results in a significant refund.

Because everyone’s situation is not the same. There are self-employed people whose income fluctuates from year to year, hence income is not automatically known so tax can be calculated. There are people who change circumstances - add a kid, get another deduction. There are all kinds of tax credits and itemizations that can be used to calculate what’s owed, and it’s up to the individual to claim and file correctly. It’s not completely true that the federal government knows what any individual owes; but they will know (after filing) if that individual correctly applied the credits and exemptions properly. Is the system a bit arcane? Sure. As a sole proprietor, I count on my tax professionals to ensure my filings are correct.

In some countries that actually happens.

The only people that I can think of that would say this have pretty much their only source of income being a paycheck, and they must not have a mortgage, or buy and sell securities, or given anything to charity... And they also give the government way too much credit. I guess they believe that they are on the cutting edge of computing and have access to all aspects of your life, instead of being years behind in computing platforms and such like they really are. Must be the same kind of people that are overjoyed when they get a refund (which is you giving the government an interest free loan).

Big Brother is watching you!

Aside from howTF is the government supposed to track 300+ million individuals' tax liabilities themselves, it's because tax calculations aren't just based on payroll taxes while also differing by state, county, and city. And people would constantly appeal the government results and everything would just be tied up. constantly. Income also has different ways to be earned. If you're self-employed and a customers pays you directly, in what way would the government be able to know how much you received for that transaction? Aside from gains/losses from investments, property taxes, itemized deductions, etc etc etc. A million reasons why the system, as imperfect as it is, is the way it is.

This should be the top comment on every single inane meme blaming schools.

My ex refused to file taxes. After our divorce, I filed 7 years worth as head of household with 3 kids. A man at the IRS helped me with all of it. I received a check for over $3000 seven Mondays in a row. It was great.

Because the IRS doesn't know all your deductions and tax credits...

You actually can attach your paperwork to a 1040 form, and the IRS will do your taxes for you. They'll even find where you've missed potential credits, IF THEY HAVE REASON TO THINK YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO CLAIM THEM,.... and only if you HAVE NOT BEEN RIPPED OFF by professional tax preparers.

I can answer about "Why in April?". They put it as far away from the elections as they possibly could

Property taxes are bills that are "bundled " not in a good way.

Me neither! Don't iron anything either. Sod that.
