......each and every reason on why I do NOT vote!


I knew I was in debt with the government.Whatever, sh!t happens. I was giving up my income tax every year to pay it off. Took 3 years, but I thought it was finally paid off. So I called them today to check up on it. It ended up with them saying that I only owed another $100. and that in fact that in April I would be receiving 4 cheques from them in April (still trying to figure that one out). I was like OK, cool. So I went to go and do my taxes at this cash back place. I warned them that it was going to come back as me owing them money, but I told her that I called them and they told me to just have you call them, to tell you to just take it from my return. The tax agent ended up getting off the phone to say that I owed TWELVE HUNDRED FREAKING DOLLARS!!!! I was like WTF?!?! How do I go from owing $100 to owing $1200??? That is a big difference here. I mean come on I know the economy is bad but f*ck you ain't going to save the country from my pocketbook.

We ended up calling them back, and I was on the phone with them for almost 45 minutes. I was SO embarrassed. it turns out that something was wrong with my account. Apparently that for the last three years, they did not have my apartment number for the the address I have been living at for the last FIVE YEARS! I have been living here longer then they did not have the correct address for. 2 out of the 5 years they did. But not the whole five.

MAN I have a headache~!!!

Oh man...that sucks.

My sister has been going through this same crap for three years! She began by owing 1,200. She paid monthy payments, they took all her other refunds which were good refunds. Onr for around 900 and the other about 700 or so. She thought she had them paid off then.....she called them to find out about her taxes for this year and tey told her she owes 1,600!!! She said "what!!??" They told her she still owes because while she is paying payments she is acruing interest and interest on her interest daily!!!

So, even with what she gets back this year...she will still owe according to them.

This is ludicrus!

hey whisper,

sorry to hear about the tax man and his on running scam.
I too owed them about 1,8oo back in 90 and didn't get it all paid off until 95. Seems there is 100% interest, plus another 50% in penalties compounded every month or so.
Damn, to believe when they take my money they don't pay me any interest on what they used of mine.
So this thing about you know, is only smoke and mirrors. The only freedom you get around here, is the freedom to go broke!

Well that is where I guess I am lucky. They do not charge interest over here.

better keep that on the down low. soon as they find out, they will start!

So, your tax system is about as whacked as ours, huh?

They should offer a tax break for Asprin. For all those headaches they cause!

WOW!!!!!! That IS very different!!! Here, just to get the IRS to help you do a payment plan with interest and penalties, you have to PROVE you have been declined by THREE lenders, which, of course, takes times, which means.... more interest and penalties accrue!!!

iTS GOING TO GET EVEN MORE MADENING!
