Why is now a
good time to think about taxes?
How
to File a complaint against the IRS
We don’t often think about taxes until it gets closer to April.
But that can be a mistake. The tax year runs along with the calendar year for
most of us. So, when you file taxes in 2023, you’ll file your tax return for
2022. That means you just have a couple of short weeks to get the biggest bang
for your buck.
Here are some articles we have on taxes and what to expect.

NOTE: CPAs and tax preparers report the highest
number of IRS problems ever encountered since Biden took office…delayed refunds
[we’ve been waiting 10 months for a refund while the IRS loses documents sent
four times], lost paperwork, etc.
Also, the highly
intrusive and controlling ‘$600 income reporting’ legislation [it was
set originally for $20K] that citizens will be forced to report and account for
[regardless if you sent a gift or loan to a relative via Venmo] is on a
temporary hold as the IRS regroups its 50,000 new hires and irons out
confusion.

SIDEBAR
 The IRS issued a last-minute
reprieve to online sellers on Friday: companies that process payments on
people's behalf will not have to report them on Form 1099K at the lower $600
threshold for the 2022 tax-year. Domestic communists [aka:
Dems] have succeeded in indoctrinating ‘journalists’, students, lawyers, etc.
to the point where Americans what they believe anymore…why would Taiwan or
other ally put any trust in Biden or Dems? o Warning Signs of America’s Destruction – Jonathan Cahn Resolve to Stash More Cash This Year As you already know, in 2008 we experienced one of the
greatest financial meltdowns in modern history. Markets around the
world crashed. Stock prices dropped. Once “invincible” financial institutions
started showing signs of collapse. Then Governments “came
to the rescue”, handing out massive bailouts and stimulus packages to keep
the world economy afloat. We’ve been told these
drastic measures prevented a total collapse of our system... But all it did was
show the cracks in the system. Many lost faith in the financial system and
the U.S Government. And now its possible things could get worse. Because we’re nearly
$31 TRILLION in debt, and if that bubble pops? Your money could go to
zero. Here’s how: |
|
Once investors who are buying Treasury securities (which finance
the U.S. government’s debt) start to think the United States is in over its
head, they may demand higher interest rates to cover the growing risk of
buying Treasuries. This could trigger a further debt spiral, leaving
Washington short of money. |
|
In other words? Boom. Because once our debt
collectors come knocking on our door, we’re screwed. $31 trillion in debt
would be owed… |
No matter why you are in debt, these tips can help pay that debt
off. With some dedicated dollar stretching and these smart money moves, you can
dive into a debt-elimination diet and become debt-free this year.
