Tax Time!!

Filed under: — Mark @ 12:21 am

I finished doing my taxes online today. Important to note is that in spite of my status as a “Non-Resident Alien” (like I am from outer space or something!), for tax purposes, I am a “Resident” with the same pleasures and benefits of the American Taxation System. (yes, this is a retort directed towards people who claim that foreigners pay lesser taxes in America and take all their money back to their home country)
Anyways, Turbo Tax, so far, rocks my Brown Indian World!! I filed electronically (after $25.96 extra) and was done with my taxes in a couple of hours. Now, if the IRS decides to NOT decide to scrutinize my $9600 in income this past year, I should get my refund (all of 20 bucks) in about 3 weeks. However, while I was filing my return, I noticed an amended Income Tax schedule for the year and it caught my eye. I will post a screencap of it and will let my readers decide why it bothered me so.

Taxes

On another note, while I was finishing my own taxes, I wondered about the President. Does he worry about filing his taxes till the last minute? Who does his taxes for him? Does he file taxes at all? Is it processed by the same people that would process yours and mine? Would it be considered a matter of national security for the person handling his taxes? Does he file out of state returns??
These are the kind of questions that keep me up at night!
