I see all of these videos talking about if you get the wrong amount you’ll go to jail 💀. I’m scared to do it the first time but I’m glad there’s resources like this now.

    Filing taxes, purchasing and dealing with insurance, how to pay off credit debt, how to fix in-home appliances, car maintenance, how to deal with finances to make a budget, how to build things .....all of these things are necessary in the real world. But to learn these skills you have to basically go to college or technical school in those specific fields of study or look it up on the internet. We are not being taught these things for a reason. The people behind this want you to be dumb so they can make money off of your uneducated decisions. We live in a world where TH-cam and Google are better teachers in one keyword search than 12 years of school. Let that sink in.

      @realviper1188 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      New to it myself (had a family friend do it for me) but if my understand this....
      -You owe based on how much money you make
      -Deductibles makes the cost go down
      -Every paycheck you get, is taxed to pay what you owe throughout the year
      -You pick how much you pay from each check, when you get hired
      -When it gets added up, if you paid too much you get $, didnt pay enough you owe $
      Doing your taxes is just to get your money back by finding deductibles and showing that you paid too much throughout the year.
      If you owed money they would be calling you. Most likely you paid too much and Gov keeps it

      Thats exactly what they do, im just not sure if they have to contact you when it happens. Think of it like you owe a friend money, you pay him back a little bit, every week or so (no one is keeping track of how much you've paid bc counting all year long is too much work lol) april shows up and he counts everything up.
      If you didnt pay enough he is going to ask for the rest of the money
      If you paid too much then you just made him happy

    • @realviper1188
      @realviper1188 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would ask a family member if your not sure. My understanding is that they already know how much you made and what you have paid from your paychecks.
      Taxes is just to cover your ass if you owe. Paying someone to do it for you so they can find all of the deductibles to lower your cost

    • @willoughbykrenzteinburg
      @willoughbykrenzteinburg 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's highly likely that you are probably owed a small refund assuming you had withholding from your checks. You should have gotten a W-2 from BK. If not, go and ask them for a copy.
      You have three years from the original due date of your return to file to get a refund. So for example if your W-2 is from 2017. That was due April 15, 2018, so you would have until April 15, 2021 to file that 2017 tax return. If you are owed a refund and don't file, you are not in trouble, just out the refund if you do not file on time. If you are owed a refund, it is likely not worth hiring someone to do the return(s) as it could likely cost more to hire a professional than the refund you would get. There are a few online sites that you can use for free, and your tax return would be just about as simple as they come. Just follow the instructions - though I'm not sure if you can use the online sources to file years after the fact. You would have to check in on that.
