Just when I thought our nightmare with the IRS was over?
This….
.
.
My husband’s annual social security benefit statement came the other day but something was off. It showed an IRMAA deduction and results in his check being $76 less than it is now. Since there’s supposed to be a large increase in Social Security next year… that made no sense.
.
.
The calculations were made on our 2020 tax form? Of course they were! That’s the year the friggin’ IRS screwed up and moved a decimal point on my husband’s Marine Corps retirement income. It took me 6 months to clear up that mess and get them to correct the form.. but apparently they didn’t do it in time for Social Security to make their calculations.
.
.
Yeah. I wish!
So…. thanks to the *%#<!*%* IRS, I have to gather proof they screwed up and file an appeal with Social Security to correct their numbers and get them to reset the benefit amount.
One tiny decimal point. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
😠

River's world..... 
I don’t envy you, but I do wish you luck. What a pain!

You will like the 2022 tax forms, it is only two lines: (1) How much did you make last year?, and (2) Send it in.

Taxes in the US are beyond bizarre. Not that we have them in the first place, but if you asked five people right now to do your taxes for you you’d likely have five different returns. The powers-to-be have had many generations to make this all easier, but it just gets harder.

A flat 10% for everyone who makes over $100,000. And I mean everyone. Bezos, Musk, Trump. No deductions, no loopholes. Easy peasy.

Except when Trump et al lie about their incomes, which they would do and already do do (doo doo meaning bald-faced liars) hoping they won’t get audited.

The saddest part is this: when you try to change your income/deductions JUST to make your taxes a 1040 EZ.

So sorry! I fought a 6mos battle with IRS before giving up. But mine was $70 total and the result of a bank teller’s screwup with no way fir me to prove it (the days of paper records and the bank’s were long gone and “not retrievable”).
GOOD LUCK!!

This one shouldn’t be as bad as getting the IRS to admit their blunder, but still annoying.

If your name were Trump, the IRS would’ve given you a pass….
Otherwise, no such luck — all they give you is a pain in the ass.

The system is rigged. Why not go after the billionaire tax avoiders as rabidly as they go after the average Joe? Oh I forgot that government is now run by them. Entrepreneurial governance. Neoliberal bullshit.
