Context:
US Americans are supposed to file taxes by mid April (idk the date bc I never do it in April), but you can file an extension if you need more time, pushing the deadline to October 15th.
Fascism Tip:
While you can be arrested for failure to file or for lying on your taxes, you won’t be arrested for filing honestly and then simply not paying. The IRS may eventually levy your assets, bank account, and/or wages, but it often takes many years and/or a large debt for them to actually pursue it. This is not tax advice.
I actually got a refund last year, so I filed just before the deadline, lol. Mostly because I had medical leave and the short term disability company made up a bunch of reasons not to pay me, so my income was lower overall, but first time I didn’t owe thousands since Trump’s first term when they messed up the deductions for lower middle class people, even with declaring no deductions on my W-4s. Almost had to pay a fine the first year because they didn’t take enough money, and I didn’t know I needed to ask them to take extra even with 0 deductions. But I guess the illusion of a tax cut when really it was only for the very wealthy was the whole point.
