How the hell do I file taxes?

[SVOboy]

I've made like 200 in 2006 and 180 so far this year, but, how do I actually, yakno, do it (file taxes)?

for sucking at life.

Your employer should have sent you your W-2 forms by now. then you need to get some state and federal forms. In my state you can pick them up at any public library. the forms come with instruction booklets. or you can get federal forms here..www.irs.gov
You probably want the 1040EZ form. it pretty easy to do if you follow the instructions.

most states have a minimum income requirement for filing taxes. I've seen it be as high as a few thousand before.

I would just pick up the 1040EZ and the state equivilant (540EZ in california). You can get them at a post office or online.

Get a 1040EZ, best way to do it with making that little dough.

Since it's only for 2006, I don't think I'm eligible, would have had to earn something like 850 dollars or more to be so. *whoop* not to much filing for me then.

Don't get so excited, it's hard to handle.

You'll get your opportunity and once they start taking, they just keep taking, so enjoy not having to deal with, while you can.

I really don't mind the idea of taxes at all. So I don't find fault with it. I mean, my solution to money being evil is not to make a lot of it and try to run away from problems with it, but just to not worry about having it.

I do, however, take issue with aiding our country in the murder of people around the world. But we'll see. There are plenty of quakers out there that've found a way to deal with it...

it's the love of money that is evil, not money itself.

lol name one government that doesnt murder.

The swiss. Anywho, if that's your justification for war, it's sadly lacking.

[white90crxhf]

Switzerland did accomodate some 55,000 civilian refugees, but approximately 20'000 - 25'000 refugees were rejected at the border, which meant sure death for most of them. The Swiss authorities even refused normal diplomatic protection for Swiss citizens of Jewish faith in Germany and occupied countries.

so much for the swiss.
