This isn't going to hurt Google's antitrust cases at all... Noooo sir.

That guy is essential the head of the Republican party, which controls half of Congress and holds a majority of seats on the Supreme Court. When he says jump all of the other Republicans ask how high, while they all try to figure out ways to 1up each other to please him.

The Direct File pilot is available to eligible taxpayers residing in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

You may be eligible to join the pilot if you live in a pilot state and report these items on your 2023 federal tax return:

Income

• W-2 wage income
• SSA-1099 Social Security and RRB -1099 railroad retirement income
• 1099-G Unemployment compensation
• 1099- INT Interest income of $1,500 or less

Credits

• Earned Income Tax Credit
• Child Tax Credit
• Credit for Other Dependents

Deductions

• Standard deduction
• Student loan interest
• Educator expenses

The pilot is not an option for if you:

• Have other types of income, such as gig economy or business income
• Itemize deductions
• Claim other credits like the Child and Dependent Care Credit, Saver’s Credit or the Premium Tax Credit

With all of the violence going on in the world today, I am constantly surprised at how little of it is directed towards insurance company offices.

That's the whole point. Unless you are a dog you don't hear it. Otherwise it would just be a normal whistle...

TIL that 25% of people living in Idaho are even dumber than I previously thought they were ...

I'd be perfect departure time man. Able to determine exactly when to leave in order to arrive at your destination on time, regardless of traffic, weather, or other conditions encountered along the way.
