Here's an explanation of what's going on with the DT taxes and traitors' slush fund by a lawyer whose opinion I value and can understand.

#Taxes . . .

Paid my Fed & State #IncomeTaxes today, a day early to avoid the "rush" at the PO, with #USPS #PriorityMail which is supposed to guarantee 3 days delivery but, in my experience, sometimes fails to achieve that.

I print the labels at home off of USPS' website & then wait to have the labels scanned at the counter to make sure that tracking shows delivery on the date it was mailed.

After that, I get the float on my $$ until the USPS delivers it & my bank "cashes" the checks.

It's just a few pennies but it's worth it to me to make the government wait for their $. 😊

#IncomeTaxes

Just did a final check of my 1040/540 #TaxReturns & printed them out for final prep & mailing with the required checks via Priority Mail on Wed 04/15/2026.

The 1040 is 14 pages long & the 540 is 24 pages long; 38 pages long including the 1040 that has to be filed with it. 🤦‍♂️

I've been using #TurboTax to prep my returns since it 1st became available in the early 80's.

It would be a tiresome & frustrating task to fill out & print the returns w/o it &, while I dislike paying for it each year, it costs far less & takes far less time for me prep my returns using it, than if I hired an accountant to do it for me. 🤷‍♂️

#IncomeTaxes

Just did a preliminary prep of my 1040/540 returns in
#TurboTax

I have a very uncomplicated return. Just a matter of filling in the boxes.
I owe much less than expected. 😊

I always owe money. So, there's no point in filing early.

The tax penalties on the money owed is minimal & I will file the returns by mail with a check when due on 4/15/2026.

I file by mail & pay by check because I think the IRS should be required to put in some effort to get my $ by processing my return by hand.

I also shouldn't be penalized by losing any interest on funds paid and the longer it takes the IRS to submit the check for payment the less $ that I lose on the float.

#Taxes . . .

Already received a 1099 for 2025 from the #SSA & because I got a #CatchUp payment after years of being denied full SSA payments because I was a government retiree, I'm looking at a bigger income # from them.

I also received substantially more dividend income from other investments last year & received a bonus trust payment.

So, I'm expecting a very big Fed/State tax bill for 2025. ☹️

I'm doing ok & don't have a problem with paying taxes per se but it bother's me when I have to pay more in #IncomeTaxes than #Billionaires (who can shelter most if not all of their income) do. 🤷‍♂️
