taxes
 

between the fed and state I paid 43.7% of my net in taxes... you guys?

You must be something wrong. Write off everything... If you work from home you can legally write off a portion of your mortgage and power....

What taxes? :error:error

Same here - Please elaborate?

Are you taking advantage of all of the opportunities out there like setting up an LLC but having it treated as an S-Corp so that you can pay yourself a reasonable salary and only have to pay SS/Medicare on the reasonable salary and not your member draws?

I don't think he can do that unless he clones himself.. :1orglaugh

6 %

Wow, you need a new tax guy

that's fucking awesome

I stated my 'net' Richard... I have mucho write offs

using a guy that used to work for the gov... everything thing is on the up and up


fed...
marginal: 28.0%
effective: 36.9%
cal...
marginal: 9.3%
effective: 6.8

Agree, can't complain on that :) + free medicine and free education (my son is studying at university and he's getting the scholarship from the government just for being a student).

Taxis?

you in the US?

Fortunately not. I'm in Russia. I love to visit the USA as a tourist but I definitely can't and don't want to live there as a citizen.

Agreed.

There's a shitload you can write-off as a registered corp. Equipment depreciation (cameras, computers, office equipment, etc), transportation, a percentage of household utilities (if you work from home)...hell, we even wrote off a fibre-optic Xmas tree one year as a studio/photoshoot prop.

RevCanada even allows an annual "corporate retreat" tax write-off (read: vacation) as long as it's x-amount of miles from your home/office...and you merely need to 'discuss' business briefly to qualify it.

We even claim the $800 it costs us to have our corporate year end tax return done.

So the only thing to call it heaven in Russian would be this:

Did you get married underaged?

Matey, leaving this hardcore math aside, how much would you pocket off the $100 you've earned?

gov accountants are probably the worst ones out there... seriously..

It's your right and responsibility to pay as little in taxes as possible under the law.

If you're paying that much in taxes you should probably be spending more on things that could be considered business expenses.

This level of trust between the government and citizens MUST BE fucking EARNED!

look you guys are avoiding the word 'NET'... believe me, I have mucho write offs...

$56.30 :(

So even including write offs... you sure you're not in Denmark?

Those rates are right if he is making good money.

that's on my net, not my revenue and yes it sucks...

what's good money these days? I can't afford a new car.... the accountant told me that a few days ago

yes you can, but i doubt the tax bracket lowers by much, if any.
i have an S corp, pay myself a small salary of which i pay taxes on both ends, both as the employer and as the employee - mucho taxes.
being in california does not help at all..

Where I live, if you want to start a company you need CEO, accountant and staff, and of course to pay them all.. Otherwise, you can register as an single entrepreneur (sole proprietorship) and that makes you responsible for all profits and debts with everything you possess. If you fail, you might lose everything you have... live in the park, smoke a joint with the zombie hippies, etc. :1orglaugh

no taxes, just taxis

Thanks to my merciful master and the foreign earned income exclusion, I will be paying zero this year.

Back in the old days African slaves had to give up 100% of what they produced. You're only 56.3% away from being on the same level as they were, minus the beatings and forced breeding of course. But you would still be punished severely if you didn't pay. Kind of crazy if you think about it like that.

Allowing slaves to become free range slaves who choose their own profession was the most brilliant move ever.

You are over 100k a year. Or something really wrong.

yes of course

well politically I will be forced to be fucked by black men within 2 years...... and Obama is doing the best he can to get that other 53.3% :2 cents:

That only goes up to $92k USD
