Related: Robert Reich posted earlier today that Tesla paid ZERO taxes on $5 billion in sales (earnings?), so that’s just fucking great.

    Isn’t there something with exemptions you can do so you don’t send them money ahead of time?

    And yeah, only income tax do you have any control over.

      Yes, v you can adjust your w4 withholding deductions with your employer. But there’s a penalty for underpaying to specifically prevent you from doing this. And unlike for rich people, w2 worker audits can be done basically automatically without any human input because it’s super easy to calculate, as your employer tells the IRS how much you earned that year

        So you have an option.

        None of this is ever going to be easy.

          If you don’t pay what you owe, they garnish your wages and make you pay even more! Woo, you beat fascism.
