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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

How do you not know how much you're getting back ahead of time? You figure it out right on the form.

FAKE! Even if you filed the extention for october 15th, the IRS demads that you round everything to the nearest dollar so everything will come out even. Even if you do not round to the nearest dollar if you submitted electronicly the program will auto round for you, I fyou did it by paper the IRS rounds it anyways. So there is no way that you would have gooton a refund with change attached, nice try next time say 1 dollar or 2.

Absolutely wrong. IRS regs clearly state that if you use change with your dollar amounts, you MUST use it in every line, on every calculation.

Umm.... I'm pretty sure on federal taxes (I've only been doing them 8 years and am about to get my CPA so I might be wrong here) it states specifically 'be exact' everywhere. Also every return I have gotten has had change attached like last years was $3,486.43. If you round and get audited you are going to be in deep shit. The Government likes every penny to be accounted for.

almost everything the govt does is stupid and a complete waste of money. the one good thing cash for clunkers did is get all the pos cars with obama stickers off the road. thank god.

Did you know that America still pours money into the homestead act? Despite the fact that the extreme majority of American farms are commercialized, Midwestern states elect a group of conservative senators who fight against the repeal of this useless bill. Obama has done the best he could with what he has been given.

WTF... "extreme majority"? Me thinks your grammar is extreme.

in canada they don't bother with differences of 2 bucks. so if you owe 1.99 you're good.
