Because people would probably rather believe it’s some conspiracy by Apple to purposely nerf the cheaper iPhone.
People will hate it, but it’s a very logical explanation
Well I’d imagine I’d go like anytime someone doesn’t follow a court order; you get jailed and/or fined in contempt of court.
A lot of the courses in Arizona aren’t using potable water; they’re using treated waste water.
In all but the most niche cases, they do in fact know that you had a kid.
How would the IRS know that? The only way I could think of would be the Social Security department sharing the information with the IRS; and are they legally allowed to do that? But let’s even say that’s true; if the parents aren’t married and filing jointly, who gets to claim the child as a dependent? That’s a decision made by the parents (or local courts in case of custody battles), so not something the IRS would decide.
Basically what it seems to boil down to is that filing taxes is complicated because the tax law is complicated.
You seem to have a very optimistic view of the efficiency of governments. I mean the IRS is basically running on a budget of table scraps after being defunded for decades.
But that’s only really makes sense in like the simplest of cases. The government doesn’t know if you had a kid this year, or maybe you bought an EV, or maybe you started renting out a room in your home.
If all you have is a single W2 income; then by all means go to your local library, grab a 1040-EZ form, fill it out, and drop it in the mail. Will probably only take you 10 minutes or less.
Who’s to say you aren’t already living in it?
I wonder what the turnaround time is for some of the more mountainous countries like Switzerland to build out pumped hydro.
Independent contractors. They’re like employees in almost every way except the legal way.
My completely baseless take: they were fine making the “I hate by husband/wife” jokes while working full time; but once retired and spending time together, they realize they actually really do not like each other.
