    Don’t remind me. If I didn’t know the state would come take my fucking house away I’d not be paying s penny in taxes, but alas the fuckers have me by the short and curlies. Not much choice.

      You can stop having federal taxes taken out of your paycheck. Just set whatever amount aside in an interest bearing account until tax time next year and pay it then.

      You can at least deny them the money until then, and maybe earn a little interest on it instead.

        They will hit you with and underpayment penalty, and they’ll actually get a pretty decent amount more than they would have otherwise gotten from you…

        An interest-bearing account you say? I haven’t seen that in years.
