Today, I got my tax return. I was really excited. Turns out the government does take the time to send out a tax return for $1.36. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I finally was able to complete my taxes and I had a look at the IRS website to check my refund. They changed it from 1K to $10. FML
Today, I sat down to do my taxes. As I was going over my forms, I found my employer only took $1.72 out the entire year for my Federal Income Taxes. I now owe the IRS over $500 that I don't have. FML
Today, I was notified by my bank that the government stimulus check I had deposited last week had been returned. FML
Today, I got the letter from the IRS that would FINALLY enable me to get the tax return I was supposed to get two weeks ago because they needed to confirm my identity. I logged on, entered the information, and was told that I would get my return… after "up to 9 weeks for processing." I need to pay bills NOW. FML
Today, getting home from a long day at work, I checked the mail and saw three envelopes from the IRS. Apparently I now owe over $4,000. I only have $2 in my bank account. FML
Today, I found out that my tax filing status was never changed after my divorce. This means I haven't been paying enough and now the government wants its money. FML
Today, after waiting 7 months to get my amended tax return refund, I was informed today that not only did they mail it to the wrong address, the person who they mailed it to cashed the check. FML
Today, I've been waiting for over a year now to get my 2019 tax refund. I did mess up and underreported 2 grand initially. I resent everything as soon as I realized what I'd done, and I'm expecting a nice chunk of change and can't file my 2020 taxes until this is sorted. FML
Today, four years after coming back home from working in another country, I got a tax bill from that country. For my income there from two years ago. If they give me the money I supposedly earned, I'll gladly pay those taxes. FML
Today, when I checked on my last payroll, I realized that I pay more in taxes than I do in house bills. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

To be fair, I've seen President Obama doing more things from his own agenda (health care, ect.) than fixing Bush's mistakes. As a matter of fact, he has continued those mistakes even though he ran on the platform of reversing them (the Patriot Act). *shrug*

To be fair... what does Obama's agenda have anything to do with getting a tax refund of one dollar?

who cares if it's fair. He is a conniving sob, and it's good to say it at every opportunity.

Sob is good to say at every opportunity? I disagree.

I agree with many above. Why bitching about doing your taxes well. I would have been happy to hear this.

To the morons who don't understand how a tax refund (and yes, it's a tax refund... the "tax return" is the paperwork you file, the refund is money you get back) could be received in October, it works like this: Tax returns are due April 15. But you can file your return any time before or after that date. If you file after, and you owe money, you will be penalized for filing late. But if you don't owe (or are getting a refund) and you file late, there is no penalty. Some people file years late and owe no penalties because they were due a refund. Some people file their returns in October and are due a refund of $1.36. And they get it a few weeks after filing.

As one of the morons you're trying to educate - thanks. Now can you tell me who this is connected to the topic?
FarSide 23
I am not sure he could tell you anything that you would understand.

Riiiight... IRS will audit you for owing one dollar. That makes sense. If you've been audited, it's because you either have a high income, were randomly selected, or you did something very stupid with your tax return. It has nothing to do with how much you owe. In fact, if you admit you owe a lot in tax, they WON'T audit you! They don't need to, because you already admitted you owe. The IRS depends on people being ignorant of how they operate. It makes their job easier when people are afraid of them.

a dollar's a dollar. Imagine if the government didn't waste paper and time to send you that dollar. You might have had to go without a dollar cheeseburger from Mcdonald's and wouldn't that have just been awful?
