I'm not so sure lycanthropic IRS agents are the best answer to making billionaires pay their taxes.

Robots, on the other hand, sounds promising.

T-1000s doing the audits might improve the situation.


Okay I'm following you so far but isn't Skynet a staunch libertarian?

I think this could be worked around by giving Skynet official amnesty on its own taxes. Then the FYGM aspects of libertarianism will kick in.

Look, I hate to be a downer, but no matter how many semesters you pay for your car is never going to graduate.

I appreciate turbo tax requires me to pay $90 to file because I dared to have an employee that only offers an HSA.
Or maybe it was because I made a student loan payment back in January last year. It was one of the two.

if i were you i'd probably appreciate the fact that the IRS is more than capable of doing your taxes for you but companies like turbotax lobby against it

I read a news story about that and I'm forever angry about it.

edit: For those who want the short version. The government already has all your tax poo poo. Income, withholdings, etc. There have been proposals to change the filing system so you essentially get a letter from the IRS saying, "Here's your tax info for the year and you owe xxx or you get a refund of xxx. Does this look good to you based on your records?" Then you can amend anything and file or whatever if there's other poo poo that needs to be done. However, as mentioned, Intuit and others lobby against it because they'd lose millions of dollars.

My favorite was TurboTax deliberately hiding the free version of their filing service.

I got $8 back this year. Decent considering I was on unemployment for about 60% of the year and didn’t have taxes taken out of my checks.

had to pay $35 to file mine this year because the free software didn't support the tax credit for paying foreign taxes, by which i mean having some shares of a fund that has some non-US stocks

at least the credit reduced my bill by more than $35, so i guess it was better than nothing
