My best friends dad pay 6 figures in taxes every year. It sucks, but he's making enough money to live a good life regardless. That's where I wanna be. Fuck what the gov does. What are YOU doing? [patriot]

I owed 130 to feds, and got back 800 from state. Wife was pissed, said we should have gotten more back. I showed her why, she was unemployed and we didnt have any taxes taken out of her unemployment benifits, and I had almost 2k less taken out of my check. That was money we needed for month to month expenses, diapers, baby food. Once i explained it that way, she calmed down.

open ur own business no matter how stupid or small. for example,,,,, a base ball card inspecter. bein a business owner u have control of your taxes, ur gas is a write off, food is a write off.clothes , trips,bridge toll everydam thing that u buy except for hookers and camels are a write off one way or the other, now im not saying lie, but there def advantages, in the first 3 years u can claim a loss without any problems. make a business u like as a hobbie, and maybe in three years u will love what u do and it might make more than u working for some one else. i pay in quarter taxes but that's it.and that's only for parts that i mark up, so the government wants there cut on top of sales taxes. so for example im not marking parts up any more. by by quarter taxes almost, folks get cheaper parts, i dont have to come with government money 4 times a year. i still have the yearly taxes, but i got some dam gd write off, as well. your car with a lil sticker with your business logo is now your advertisement write off.i might not get a ton back, but the more write off i come up with, the better it seams to get. and none of my checks lol are government taxed.

What they the federal, state & local Gov do can greatly affect your life and your paycheck. Why should the gov take more then half of someone's income to begin with? Doesn't leave as much incentive to work harder and make more money does it?

I DO claim 0 and have 200 bucks taken out of every check for my 403B (like 401K). I guess I have to pay because I'm single, not a house owner, no kids, and make over 6 figures

This is some what true. I am a business owner and have been for the last 10+ years. Started off as a side gig, but as you grow and become profitable the need to show this growth and profit becomes paramount. That means being square with the IRS. This year I benefited from some tax relief for employing folks. But still ended up owing. But being able to write off just about anything is a great feeling. But at a certain point you have a very keen eye for detail or you will screw yourself. And if you ever want to grow, you will have to pay the piper (IRS) eventually.

You gotta claim more deductions. Having receipts for charitable donations to a religious organizations and non-profits cuts taxes a lot...

Back in the day before the Gov got wise, getting beater rollers for a couple hundred bucks, and donating them to charities, would let you write off their BlueBook value as a deduction...

I haven't owed any taxes since 2001. I usually get a decent return.
