I have to pay a penalty for underpaying my taxes.

Kinda crazy that I overpaid....idk maybe $100K in taxes in my working career. I wasn't even given a thank you.

The one time I underpaid my taxes......PENALTY!



So I guess I need to adjust my withholdings somehow.



And I didn't even get a deduction for my stolen generator??


Turbotax really sugged bawls this year btw. They asked me 69 times at least if I wanted to upgrade to "MAX".

Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.


Last time I paid that penalty I got a check from the IRS like 6 months later

with no explanation and then a couple weeks after that got a letter saying a refund had been issues for that penalty with no other explanation.

It shouldn't be an immediate penalty...

When I grossly underpaid (due to an income change) I had to make major adjustments in withholdings. If I didn't make that change, the accountant said I'd have to pay quarterly. I never got a penalty, but did have to write a significant 5 figure check that year.

Now I just claim 0/0 and have extra withheld from my W-2 income.

My wife and I take zero deductions and we still owe every year.

I don't mind paying taxes but I'd appreciate it if they'd withhold the correct amount so I don't get a bill for $3k.

Lol. Uncle Sam loves himself those interest payments on what you overpay.

He ain't going to just let you slide with you taking the interest on the underpayment.

####, why don't we demand MORE refund when we overpay, since they add a penalty for underpaying.

I know. I didn't know they had a penalty, but it makes sense, for them.

Likewise, since that makes sense for them, fairness is shitcanned for "us".

That happened to me a couple years back.

My daughter got married and turned 25 years old so I lost her as a dependent AND my head of household status.

Of course I knew it was happening and ended up having to pay about $5k...but the penalty wasn't expected.

Prior to hitting the "file" button an option came up that asked for an explanation as to why I underpaid. I said my daughter "unexpectedly" got married and I lost her as a deduction and changed my filing status. Hit submit and it canceled my penalty.

The next year, same thing happened...I used the same excuse and it, again, canceled the penalty.

I then changed my dependent count to avoid it in the future.
