These are our taxes. Do you like the return address?
I filled nine (NINE!) envelopes today, seven (SEVEN!) of them with payments enclosed. And we still owe. Our accountant claims that he has never seen anyone nailed harder than us, and he is not a young man. We are destined to be the sad over-told story at all of his future dinner parties.
If there is a tax out there, we pay it.
Tax on breathing air? Check.
Tax on using toilet paper? Check.
Tax on wondering when Project Runway will return? Check.
Tax on reading magazines from back-to-front instead of front-to-back? Check.
Tax on sleeping on your side? Check.
Tax on looking out the window? Check.
Tax on toenail fungus? Check.
Tax on yelling at your kids to flush? Check.
What do we do for a hobby? We pay taxes.
did mine last night. got screwed by the blasted alternative minimum tax for year two and also by the double whammy of state and city taxes. see, there are plenty of reasons not to live in nyc. Bitter is definitely my return address. so sorry.
Ahhh man! i think i need chocolate after reading this.
Seems like toenail fungus should be deductible…
you should get a tax break for your kids not flushing. it’s like they’re saving the plantet…….or something.
I’m truly sorry.
I am so sorry. I thought you were treating your toenail fungus. That should count for something. And whose to really say whether you’re REALLY wondering when Project Runway will return. I think that’s the IRS’s responsibility to prove.
I’d choose death. Wait, there’s a death tax too, never mind.
is there a tax for blogging? cause if there was, i’d be screwed.
at least you’re not paying blogging tax.
That sucks real, real bad. I hope the IRS gets a laugh at your return address name. I doubt they have a sense of humor though.
I want to cry with you! I’m so sorry! I hope the sting will go away soon…
Holy Cow! Do you guys have a diamond smuggling business on the side that you forgot to pay the taxes on? And don’t you have kids so that you can avoid all those taxes? I know we do. Have a few more. It’s bound to help.
We paid estimated taxes all year (all with installment payments for the rest of last year’s balance) and we still came up way short! Someone we know, who’s very well off, got a refund!!! The IRS must be thinking we’re a charity raising money just for them. My return address would be “Charity Case.”
I’m sorry Tiff. I always thought that it was just us single folks with no house and kid deductions that got screwed on taxes…I guess not. Have you seen all of those internet ads for getting a billion dollars in government grants? Probably a hoax, but I still consider it just to feel like I’m getting something for my money. I swear hearing others talk about what they’re going to do with their return makes me want to kill people.
That toilet paper tax is is where I get killed every year. I’m thinking of adding a colostomy bag in 2011, so that I can lessen the burden. Ha ha IRS, you forgot to close that loophole didn’t ya…suckers.
Really Tiffany, I’m sorry for your loss. Even though your money is no longer with you It should bring you solace to know that your money still lives on, in a far better place. The coffers of AIG.
This brings back memories of living in Pittsburgh, PA for 3.5 years. City tax, township tax, county tax, state tax, federal tax. There was even a yearly $10 “tax” for living in 1 city and working in another city. Sorry, dudette, but it should be better next year. I’m not sure if that’s because you will be better prepared for it or if the taxing authorities know about you now and hold money out of your check on a regular basis.
Ouch! That’s a hard one to swallow. I whole heartedly agree with Mr. Smith though. Your money is in a much better place. May you find comfort in that. (Makes you a little bit ill, doesn’t it?)
So sorry!!!! Not to make things worse, did you hear next year they are contemplating a “muppet impersonation” tax? You will be required to fill out the Sesame Street ABC123 Form!
Love the Anniversary Pics! Again, Congrats!
Oh, I feel your pain! So much for a “stimulus package” we don’t have any money to spend…the government took all of ours too. I do love your return address – I’ll have to join you there!
I’m so behind on commenting. Let me just say this:
OH!
Love it!
Congrats!
SH**!
YAY!
Love ya.
Eeeeeek that sucks!
But I love the return address. I expect nothing less from you
