Taxes!
by nascarfan123 on Comments
We are approaching that time of year again for us Americans to pay our yearly tuition to the government. Like my fellow Americans I don't like paying taxes, if I had the option I wouldn't pay them. I have a very moronic thing that I do, because of that it makes me be a bad American, and that is I don't procrastinate until the last day to mail off my taxes. Most people know that the due date is typically April 15th. Thankfully, this year it just happens to be on a Sunday thus allowing everybody to procrastinate 1 more day. I am happy to know that I got a refund this year for my federal taxes. One thing I have noticed is how easy it is to screw up and as a result of that be screwed over by the system. Probably the most likely cause of this is that all of the questions are too wordy and could make somebody put down the wrong answer. For example if they wanted to know if you quit your job the previous year and found another job they could have easily put "Did you quit your job? Yes/No Do you have a new job? Yes/No." Thats simple and direct. Instead they could have something along like this "Have you previously discontinued working with your current or former employer? Yes/No Are you currently working with a new employer?" Yes/No. Too many extra words are added in, they make it be more complex than it really has to be. How can they expect people to get those questions right when the average American has to spend 20 minutes trying to figure out what their favorite doughnut is?
