A Wafrn woot/post by TherapyGary on October 14th which reads “Happy ADHD tax season to all who celebrate.” It has 0 notes, replies, or rewoots.
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.
The trick is to be more afraid of not filing your taxes than literally everything else in your life. Give yourself deadline anxiety on January 31st. Can’t snack. The IRS is gonna hunt you down like a gnu at the watering hole. Can’t watch anything because it tells the snipers which room you’re in. Reading? Like a gazelle reading at the watering hole right before the revenue lion eats its legs?
