Jessica Grant56, I completely blanked for a second there... Just so we're clear, you need to file the tax forms by the 20th, but the actual payment deadline hasn't moved—you still have until the 30th of the month, just like always... nothing has changed on that front...
Anyway, I figured I’d mention it now just to save you from any unnecessary 🙂

If not, I’d suggest sending a formal written request to the IRS via certified mail with a return receipt requested. Give it some time; even they have certain regulatory windows they're required to operate within...

Of course I do... but honestly, with the way they're squeezing people right now, you might as well just give them everything you own. It feels like you're guilty just for being productive. Or for breathing, really.

Thanks for the heads-up, but I already paid the sales tax. Honestly, I’m not even going to mess with it—if they decide to hit me with interest because I was a day late or something, then I guess I'll just deal with the headache later...

I can't remember seeing this kind of overreach before—at least not in the twenty years since I made the mistake of leaving government work for the private sector. And man, life was easy back when I was on a federal job; the pay was solid and reliable... No dealing with tax auditors or those little pests looking for trouble. You didn't have to worry about whether there was $2.25 extra change (like pennies or nickels!!) or if you were short by ten cents. It always comes back to this: if you're actually working, you're bound to make a mistake eventually!

Personally, I’d probably just wait a year, let the clock run out, and then write the whole thing off as a loss...

Man, I wish it were that easy... but then you get hit with a massive fine or some legal headache two and a half years later, right? It’s crazy what they pull. It’s been over two years already, but how long does this actually last? Is it six? Eleven? Maybe you have to keep those records perfectly filed for your entire life.

I’m telling you—this dead silence on the boards is a clear sign that something’s gone wrong here... maybe it’s just the seasonal slump, I guess? Or maybe it's all this constant banning, the endless apologies, and some weird kind of internal politics at play. Honestly, I'm just over it. I’ve reached the point where peace and quiet—just sitting back and reading the news—is actually more valuable. Unless someone genuinely needs a hand with something, there’s really no reason to even jump in.

Yeah, everything’s gone quiet. Huh. So, Jessica Grant56, if I’m being totally honest—I’ve been dodging the news lately. Just some coffee and maybe a quick scroll through Facebook. Honestly, I’d much rather laugh at some weird posts or people’s strange moods than deal with those depressing headlines. Man, this coffee is hitting the spot this morning... I even managed to light up a cigar, which has actually been helping me chill out lately. Don't even start with the "it's not healthy" talk... nothing's been particularly healthy lately, anyway. Peace to everyone!

A cigar, you say?? A Cuban one? Man, I'd love to see that!

Hey, sorry to just jump in like this, but is there an authorized external auditor on here? I have a few questions I wanted to run by someone, so...

Militi Bog, where on earth have you been... totally off the map. It feels like everyone is just running wild around here lately.

What's up?

Just tackling some housework—ironing, cooking, cleaning... you know, the usual glamorous stuff.😢

Oh, really? Isn't it Sunday?
When are you going to realize that Sunday is strictly reserved for doing absolutely nothing, barring the occasional meal prepared out of pure tradition rather than any actual hunger? It’s just about maintaining order, I suppose. 🤣

As for me, I am currently embracing the art of being bored. :-))

Has she had one too many cocktails and decided to start painting everything in sight?!? She’s certainly got a lot to say!! Does she seriously not realize it’s a massive sin not to cook (at least) some pasta? You’re only allowed to debate things in the evening if you've met the first requirement—having a hot dinner ready. And yeah, am I a man-show... show... what’s the word?? A chauvinist??

Hey there!
I wasn't really sure if this was the right spot to drop this question or if I should have started a whole new 🙂
thread to ask someone over coffee... but anyway, does anyone happen to have a copy of that RRIF article (2/2013) about the financial impacts of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and pre-insolvency settlements handy? If you could send it my way, I'd really appreciate it! 🙂

Honestly, if you could see how perfectly my dear husband roasts chicken... with potatoes... there's truly nobody better; I could spend a hundred years trying and still never manage to get it that juicy yet crispy.

And since it's such a cardinal sin to skip lunch, for heaven's sake Jessica Grant56, 😲 why don't you just cook it on Sundays at the very least????????
