Well uber, it's April 15th, and if you have waited until now to file your tax return you're in luck; because I'm going to give you some excellent tips to save you from paying the unconstitutional burden known as "income tax", and giving away your hard-earned money to a bunch of beaurocratical blow hards who will just use it on a bunch of public works projects you would never want or need.
Save your receipts! I can't stress this enough. Everything you've ever bought ever is a deduction. For example, if I didn't have to go into work every day, I wouldn't bother with washing or grooming myself; I would just sit in a pool of my own filth and masturbate. Therefore soap, deodorant, toothpaste, and shampoo are all "work-related expenses" and therefore, all deductible. Deduct them! Deduct them now!
Save your receipts! God, I hope you saved your receipts. Beer is a deduction, so are cigarettes, coffee, and certain grain alcohols. (Malibu is NOT a deduction, because Malibu is for pussies, and pussies miss out on certain tax breaks.) Again, these help one deal with the doldrums of working for a living; the wages of which are being taxed; making everything related to coping with it a deduction. If you have a marijuana or coke dealer, make sure he carries a ledger book, and always get your masseuse or prostitute to give you some written proof of services rendered. Make sure to talk about your job every time you eat or buy anything, and always save your receipts!
Gambling losses. What a great deduction! Here's a little secret for you to maximize this baby: Off-Track Betting parlors. Just go to the trash can outside any of one of these and dig out every discarded parimutuel ticket you can find. Go to as many OTB's as you want, add up your findings, and stuff all those tickets in the same envelope with your W-2's.
Hold on there, single gal... what do you mean you don't have any dependents? Cats are dependents; so are goldfish. You feed them, right? They depend on you for survival, right? I mean, am I right? According to Webster that makes them a dependant, and that's what the IRS is asking you to tally. If you have an ant farm it may take you quite some time to count up every single dependent you have. Make sure you don't count the same dependent twice; the IRS does not look too kindly upon cheaters!
C'mon baby, don't fear the auditor; even most of you flabby pasty-skinned ubersite users could probably have your way in a rough-and-tumble with your average IRS auditor. Intimidation and physical threats work well if he questions anything about your return. just keep the pressure on. He'll cave. If the IRS says you owe them money, refuse to pay. If they threaten to garnish your wages, take a Marshall Mathers like stance and scream out "I don't give a FUCK!" Then quit your job and find something else where you don't have to report all your income. Ask my dear friend Ebola May if you need some leads on jobs that meet this criteria.
Come on baby, don't fear the auditor
Baby take my hand, don't fear the auditor
We'll be able to fly, don't fear the auditor
Baby I'm your maaaaaaan...
Laaaaa, La, Laa, la-la.

10k and some change owed this year....fucking receipts aren't going to help me.
===================================================================
you think that's bad? i paid about 50k. a friend of mine paid about a quarter million.
just think about the shit you could do with that kind of money instead of giving it away. when i think about how every single thing Americans do is being taxed, my fucking head spins. income tax pisses me off the most though.

Dear Sally Walker, Certified Public Accountant,
I received a distribution from my nonqualified deferred compensation account in 2007 as a result of my company experiencing a change in control. I am not sure whether the Code reflected in Box 12 of my W-2 is correct with respect to that distribution and need some help. You see, the Company entered a Code A into Box 12 which, according to the instructions for Form W-2, is used to indicate uncollected social security or RRTA tax on tips. As I work in an office, I do not receive (monetary) tips. So, you can understand my confusion for the "Code A" and no Code reflected for a distribution from my NQDCP. So my question is, has my employer been treating the blowjobs I have receiving from the President's secretary as "tips", but not subjecting the value of those exquisite "favors" to social security taxes? Any guidance you can provide on this matter would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Yozz

Who's a better CPA...you or Louis Tully?
He'd been doing my taxes for years and other than the occasional bad party I have to attend at his apartment, it's been a wonderful experience.

Also, in what is most likely merely a coincidence, the April 15th tax deadline happens to be the anniversary of the death of President Abraham Lincoln, who if you are an American may recall had a significant part in freeing the slaves.

The American tax payment deadline (for once-a-year payers) really should be on the day that the average American has earned enough to actually pay the taxes 'owed'. This year, that day is April 23rd.

It's easy. You keep ALL the paperwork you have in a suitcase in the "attic" (loft). When the taxman says "I don't believe you send me your paperwork." you send them the suitcase.
As long as it's roughly accurate, NOBODY will come and whinge at you again :D
