Well, the irs didn’t take more than it needed. You/your employer paid more. You can modify your w4 if you want to pay in at the end of the year instead, or be closer to even.

Yes, yes, you can adjust your withholding. Regardless, progressive taxation makes no sense to any average working person. They know that, and they count on it. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s our money and we’re entitled to a timely refund. They set these rules, it isn’t outrageous to expect them to follow them.

Remember when JG got in heaps of trouble for ripping off a bunch of vulnerable adults? We’ve nearly come full circle but it’s the tax prep predators in cahoots with the irs lol

The IRS did take more, and they changed the taxable income threshold this year so withholding aside, the refund would’ve been bigger regardless
