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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

does it say where OP is from? I've got the fml app only. limited function. if she's from down under (Australia), we get until October 31st to do ours. we don't get to start doing them until 1st July. and also, the amount doesn't need to be rounded off. and if OP isn't from Australia, I guess this was just a waste of time lol

Don't worry -- next year you might do better and not get *any* refund. Better luck next time at not loaning the government money interest free.

This is not an FML - You should be happy. I don't like getting a big refund at the end of the year. It means too much was withheld during the year and I essentially gave the govt. an interest-free loan.

I'm calling bullshit on this one because the IRS does not deal in change. All change is converted to a zero. The amount her refund would have been is $1.

False. They round, not truncate.

This is a lie, I have personally received a tax return check in the value of $1.00. I framed it.

It probably cost the govt. $3 to print that check! Way to stick it to the man!!! Agreed, getting your tax refund is NOT an FML . . . . the mods must be high again!
