FJB - this is some serious bullshit - Trub Lou - 03-26-2022
Unprompted, the government starts sending these checks every month to me for "advanced child tax credits." Now, at tax time, I owe every penny of that back, and they're hitting me with an underpayment penalty as a result of owing them so much. WTAF

Kids are expensive..........
Stuff I've skimmed over made this change sounded like a clusterfuck in the making. Of course there will be a cry to forgive it, and that may just happen. Sucks for you though.

WAT?
RE: FJB - this is some serious bullshit - Trub Lou - 03-27-2022
This doesn't even have anything to do with kids being expensive. The government could have sent mea "carrot stipend" or anything else I never asked for. Send it back at the end of the year? Sure, fine, yeah... not sure why you bothered. But hitting me with an underpayment penalty as a result? That's serious horse shit.

Dropped our taxes off last week. I'm guessing we will be in the same boat.

Fortunately my income dropped.

We did not get a penalty that I can see anywhere, but sure enough we owe for the first time ever! Thanks Sleepy Joe! I guess it was nice to use some govt money interest free.
