Me. Conservative. They are holding up two large refunds from my family trust now. Been filing since 2009 when my husband died and suddenly in 2022 they say they don’t recognize the trust and I have to prove it’s valid. Any bets I never see that money? They say they haven’t gotten to it, they are very behind in that department so call back in 40 days. They are not too behind to flag 2023 return and hold the refund again. 🤬
Yeah, that happened to me in Cali this year - as an Independent!You'd think all options would be open as an independent, but no... This state is so f'd up.
My husband and I are Republican and we were audited last year. Then end result was a small refund from the US Gov’t because we had slightly overpaid. Thankfully, we have a tax accountant, so he dealt with it all. Paying our tax accountant every year is my favorite check to write. He is worth every penny!
Honestly, while I admire their skills and expertise, it makes me really angry that we either have to spend money or lots of time doing our taxes, especially if we don’t want to be disadvantaged. If it’s an obligation, it should be simple enough that anyone can do it and it only takes a few minutes.
"Sixty-three percent of new audits last year were aimed at middle-class filers."
And how many of those audits were on registered Republicans?

Ugh!! This is terrible, I’m so sorry!! Just infuriating!!
Used to pay bribes in Ukraine.
True. Infuriating
Turns out, poisoned "blow" isn't worth much as payment these days.
A tip: Register as a democrat and vote Republican (or whatever).
Interesting strategy Doug...
Interesting indeed. Not the first person to do that these days.
Except in many places you can’t vote in the Republican primary that way…

I have thought of that b
Right. We filed on the 15th and I got state and federal refunds in 1 week.

Me too. They have one goal in mind:
Find a pound of flesh
That would be an interesting number to know. Probably about eighty percent. Democrats are on the dole, so.
Or in the 1%…
One or the other. It works for them.
Yup they grift either way.
