Comments on: Tax Day https://whynow.dumka.us/2015/04/15/tax-day-3/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Fri, 17 Apr 2015 00:22:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2015/04/15/tax-day-3/comment-page-1/#comment-78535 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 00:22:58 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=35054#comment-78535 In reply to hipparchia.

I don’t do them on-line, but after they stopped mailing out the packages I had to access the IRS site to get the forms I needed. I have a spreadsheet that does all of the calculations I needed.

May Day is a good day for kittens 😉

I didn’t learn about “my” (first) batch of kittens until a little later, so I’ve officially made their birthday may day of 2007. it seemed appropriate.

Inland Revenue isn’t a soft touch like the IRS 😉

The reference to ‘he gets 19 and you get 1’ reflected the fact that at the time the rate for income above £ 10,000 [$28,000] was 95%. There were 20 shillings in a pound so they only got to keep one shilling out of every pound they made over £ 10,000.

MB. the current process is much better than the fully automatic system of earlier versions that would simply reboot, ready or not, in the middle of the night. But if you are in the middle of filling out forms with multiple windows open, having to stop and wait for the for the reboot, then trying to remember which windows you need to open again, is a major PITA, especially if you are running out of time and sanity.

Do I get a 50% reduction in my per-foot tax? :-}>

Property and Excise are the only taxes I’m ever glad to see onscreen…

We always get them on Wednesday, Badtux, and have done for years in XP and both Win 7 machines. It is probably when they are made available via the mirror for this area used by my ISPs. Lots of things show up on the West Coast a day before we see them.

Since I’m running a Mac, that didn’t affect me.
