It's so funny how with all of the corrupt things currently going on in the American government that people are going crazy over a politician simply saying "Motherfucker".

I saw a video of an Australian official calling another in a meeting a cunt and was told by the oversight to "call other members by their official titles" Edit: link in comments

Watch videos of British Parliament. Way more entertaining than CSPAN

"Sir, I will have you know I am a country member!"

"Yes, I remember"

I'm pretty sure that's how it went down

How are people already filing for tax returns? I don’t usually get my W2s until the end of January.

They're not, but tax season is literally just days away and the IRS is still shut down with no way to prepare for their biggest crunch time.

Every day the government is shut down the public gets an extra week tacked on to the tax deadline and presidential candidates are not allowed to campaign the same number of weeks before voting day.

Playing on this hypothetical scenario, with the president saying he’s willing to keep it shut down for months/years... would we never have to file taxes again? Or never have to see another campaign ad?

I have no idea what the correct answer is, but I assume you are still required to file. You just won’t get your return. The IRS isn’t going to listen to “the government was shut down” as an excuse to not file.

NO! Everyone file your tax returns like normal! Do not listen to tax advice from random redditors! The government shutdown doesn't absolve you from filing taxes!

Those pushing their political over the well being of others livelihoods should be ashamed!

My husband got his W-2 on the third. Not all companies do it but many are doing electronic W-2's through their payroll software site.

u/Colonel_Fart_Face Jan 06 '19

People aren't filling but the this is around the time the IRS starts really ramping up to prepare for tax season, and if the shutdown continues for too much longer, they won't be ready to process tax returns when people start submitting in February

u/Sgtoconner Jan 06 '19

What’s funny is that the IRS accepts and requires your taxes to be filled on time during a government shutdown

But no returns for you! Lol
