Absolution Black Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 How I wish it were that simple here. Would make my life so much easier. No, here in the states, there's an amount of taxes that you owe, and a different amount that the government took off your wages for the past 12 months. Depending on your deductions (I claim the standard which makes stuff simpler) you either overpaid, or underpaid. In my case, I overpaid, so I got back a good chunk of money. Sounds damn complicated...you americans and your zany behaviour!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In really great news, my car passed inspection without a problem, so I get to put almost all of my tax refund straight towards a new laptop! Woot! How's everyone doing? Howdy Stranger! Writing again? The Muse has returned! Just one more night then 6 lovely days off. Oh and the Cat vs Dog debate I pick........ Ferrets!

Mako Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Ah yes...this is why I have no interest in software testing. "If this bizarre and planet aligning circumstance happens, will the computer explode?" No thanks, lol. Maybe I've worked in science too long, but that's the kind of stupid question I keep finding myself asking.

edonil Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 The worst one for me is grey vs gray. I use the former because I'm so used to reading it that way, thanks to years of black library. Eventually I turn off spell check because it corrects things that are right, just different spelling.

TheOneWhoFell Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I get a lot more money back from the Feds than some, because I am paying my student loans, and they can't charge you raxes on the interest (or some such crap) so it's an additional deduction. I think the Fed does taxes this way to make people feel better about giving up one tenth (or so) of their paycheck every week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Fell, I'd have to agree. I'd be much more interested in a simple tax system that didn't worry about refunds or anything. Just charge the correct amount dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Aren't words great? Yeah....I like 'antidisestablishmentarianism'.......... have no idea what it means but its cool. Antidisestablishmentarianism (listen to British sample (info), American sample (info)) is a political position that originated in 19th-century Britain in opposition to proposals for the disestablishment of the Church of England, that is, to remove the Anglican Church's status as the state church of England, Ireland, and Wales. The establishment was maintained in England, but in Ireland the Church of Ireland (Anglican) was disestablished in 1871. In Wales, four Church of England dioceses were disestablished in 1920, subsequently becoming the Church in Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
