of fuckwittery....
I received a final bonus from my old company yesterday.
Very nice, very handy.
But for some reason they deducted only 4% tax.
Instead of 30%
So when I headed in to complete my tax return today I had to fill out a new form - costing me about $40 per line (tax accountants aren't cheap) bumping up the cost of filing taxes to $530 and wiping out my refund in the process.
I now owe the IRS $3700. I'd have paid it anyway, but it would have been a lot less of a hassle had it not been for one last, post grave piece of absolute fuckwittery.

Same problem here. Grr.
but hey, they're so cool yah? sit on a bean bag and chill...
Ummm...dude? Your bonus is income received in 2008, so why are you paying tax on it today? Sit on it until this time next year and then enjoy having Uncle Sam giving you an interest-free loan instead of the other way around.
ah - but it was paid as income 12/31/07
And issued without a W2....
fuckwittery see...
