"All debts, public and private"
--U.S. Dollar
Our tax guy: "So the IRS is going to direct deposit your refund into your checking account."
Me: "The IRS has no access to my checking account."
OTG: "Hmmm. That's going to be a problem since they don't want to send out checks this year."
Me: "Good point, their credibility is shit these days."
OTG: "You're going to be a problem, aren't you?"
Mrs Miasma to me: "Shush."
File under one weird thing…
I got an insurance payout after I was hit by a car; no tax due. When my dad died there was no tax on inheritance (his estate was taxed). Casino winning generally no taxes if you have a regular job. Canadians are soaked in USA media and often assume we are taxed on things USians are.
