How did I go from getting a significant refund last year (which I SORELY needed, it was how I kept my shitbox car running godamnit!) to owing them money? I didn't change my filing status, I made probably LESS than I did last year but according to the dry run (I have to work my way up to actual completion) of doing my taxes I owe the federal government about 400-500 bucks. I have never owed money before, I'm fucking 21, have no assets to speak of and make BARELY enough money to live on. Shit I made maybe 18,000 this year, MAYBE!! Actually when I looked at it, me and my roomates will all owe money, my boyfriend who made 16,000 this year, apparently owes like 600 dollars.

Thats real fucking good.

I'm wondering if Bri will be owing them an even 1000 because shit, she made probably about 7000. Obviously since she didn't make very much, she doesn't really need any of it.
So either the federal government has decided to openly fuck the poor in the ass with the largest dildo I've ever seen, or how you do taxes has fucking changed drastically.

Of course I could always have made a mistake....please let me have made a mistake....otherwise....

I am so fucked.

UPDATE:
K so I'm not that fucked. I just fucked up, totally forgot one of the essential steps of doing taxes. I was saddened at my own stupidity for a moment, then I decided to never again attempt taxes while slightly intoxicated. BAD idea. Stop laughing damnit!
