Taxes
I made about twenty-one thousand dollars last year?
and somehow owe a thousand dollars to the government.
How is anyone ever supposed to lift themselves out of poverty?

look for deductions. I bet you bought stuff that can be counted against your taxes for business purposes. computers, software, equipment.
unless you’ve already done that in which case drink.
I have done all I can do. I don’t understand. I am pretty aghast.
get a gummint job
Aren’t you entitled to a sizable return?
No, Christopher Walken. I am entitled to set my shoulder to the oar and put my back into it.
Hey, IANAL but that doesn’t sound right. You should call a tax guy about it.
A friend of mine made about that much one year got almost $4000 BACK.
Did you remember the Making Work Pay credit (it’s on Schedule M)?
I made a few thousand less than you, and my total owed was about $800. But with witholdings a little under $400 and the $400 from Schedule M, I only had to write a check for about $50.
In general, I’m not too upset with a 2%ish effective tax rate. I’d appreciate having to pay less, but I’ll not complain about that. I like the government enough not to begrudge it my 2%.
Thank you all, I think… how does The Dude say it? “Events have recently come to light.” That is to say, I think I’ll be just fine.
“New shit has come to light.”
PTL!
