Sitting down to do my taxes for 17. Fuuuuck tax year 2018 can’t get here soon enough. This may be the last year in a long time that I itemize my deductions. :gocho:

Paying taxes to live in the greatest country in the world should be an honor.  Imagine how great it would be if we actually took care of the less fortunate.  Oh well, at least some people got $1000 bonus before being laid off!

Tell you what, chief. I’ll trade you my effective tax rate for this year for yours. I’d hate for you to miss out on all the extra “honor” I’m getting.


You are really really hung up on how high your tax rate is

Yeah it's awesome

For someone who doesn’t consider their high tax rate to be an honor, KSUW sure brings it up a lot.

I'm just going to ignore all the usual responses from all the usual suspects. (But I gotta give credit to Phil for calling it an "honor" to pay a significantly higher tax rate :lol:).

Finished at about 20% effective FIT this year and the rough ridin' AMT bit me again. Last year for a long while that's gonna happen. Tax reform is going to reduce my 2018 effective FIT by about 4%! Thanks DJT and GOP!

Why are you paying your taxes 75 days before you are obligated to?

I already paid my taxes for 2017 (so did you and nearly everyone else through wage withholding). I slightly over withheld just to be safe. So I get my refund as quickly as I can.

I can’t file until I get statements back from the accounts holding the vast amount of wealth I have invested. I think those usually don’t come in until mid to late February.

Yeah I'm interested in how kdub is already done. I don't know a brokerage that has finished their tax forms yet.

If you read this entire thread you would know he is just scraping by due to the overbearing tax burden placed on him by the US government.

I don't have very complicated investments. Pretty much all mutual funds and a few stocks. I use two different brokerages and both had statements available online in the past few days. Takes longer if you wait for paper.

It's rough ridin' awesome for the vast majority of people. Some dems are concerned that this may mean less money for welfare programs. I think they may be surprised. The dems are mostly worried about how popular this is gonna be. Mostly.

I've got some old stuff with Edward Jones (don't laugh, I was young and I've already paid the commissions) and now I do my own investing with Fidelity.
