Taxing stuff...


Helio's offer of 'help' *cough* - over 400 pages of PDF to read - yea - thanks a bunch

Whatever happend to the good old concept of PAYE...

Seems it did not travel over with the Pilgrim fathers...

Tax returns came as a suprise to me - despite IRS taking tax when I get paid - I also need to file my own taxes (in-case they cock it up?)

There are many hidden penalties for getting it in late/wrong/not at all - including a spell down the state penitentary picking up the soap...

So I ask Helio for help - You seen the result of that request above...

Great - thanks guys - you leave all of us ex-pat guys in the lurch to deal with a system we know nothing about - thanks a bunch - NOT

SO - I filed for an extension - see what happens - got a guy doing it all for me (at my expense of course) so we'll see how that works out...

Mind you - the UK 'lot' have been just as bad - one letter they send tells me I owe them money - then next tells me they owe me - so I claim it back and they send a leter back saying I owe them - IDIOTS!

...and to cap it all - I now feel like E.T.

Phone home...
