Please reblog and add your nationality in the tags along with what you answered! I’m very curious about this; and it’s not to shame anybody, so don’t be rude!

If you don’t do the reblog part it’s not very good as a study 😭

For people with anxiety about filing taxes, here’s what things that happen when you make a mistake on your tax return:

- it gets corrected

- you get a letter in the mail either asking for some additional information or a letter showing the adjustment

- you pay the amount (there’s options for payment plans too!) or get a refund

Things that do not happen

- you’re “in trouble”

- you are charged with fraud

- you go to jail

I know that most people are probably just joking/exaggerating when they say a mistake on their return means they get thrown in jail but when I worked with the public I always would encounter people who believed that would happen and they would be panicking about it. So I like to put this out there every year because if I can even prevent one person from feeling that way, it’s worth it

Annual reblog of this important information.  

The thingy above where you sign your tax form says that you’ve filled it out to the best of your ability.  “Sir, I am a dumbass” is 100% a valid defense

A lot of anxiety about “adult things” can be eased by knowing that the consequences of doing it wrong are usually being asked to correct the issue.

What happens if you owe an amount to the IRS that you cannot afford to pay?  You get a payment plan that you decide on the monthly amount for, until it’s paid off. 

Been there, done that, it’s not a huge deal.

COLD AF WEATHER WARNING FOR US!!

if you’re in the US (unsure about other countries but i’m sure this isn’t isolated) then PLEASE pay attention to the weather this week and next week!! IT’S GOING TO BE COLD AS FUCK AND I MEAN WAY COLDER THAN USUAL!! It rarely gets below 30 here and it’s supposed to get down to like 13 F on friday night. cold. COLD!!!

• leave your faucets dripping so they dont freeze or burst (i think anything below 25 means freezing)
• make sure you have candles/batteries/flashlights/blankets/warm clothes in case the worst happens and you lose power bc it doesn’t take long for hypothermia to set in
• have food that you dont need to cook and is non perishable
• KEEP YOUR PETS INSIDE IF IT GETS THAT COLD KEEP THEM BABIES WARM KEEP EM SAFE KEEP THEIR PAWBS COZY!!!!

there’s a ton of resources out there (and here on tumblr) for what to do in extreme cold weather, how to stay warm, emergency situations, dealing with snow/hail/ice/etc.

please stay safe, stay warm, ya know. many people who dont experience cold weather or extreme weather conditions regularly might have no idea what to do. dont fucking make fun of ppl in warmer climates who are uninformed or unaware of how to deal with snow or cold. when texas had that power outage a few years ago, everyone was “lol thats what u get for being a shitty state” shut the FUCK up. the people most affected by the power outage were marginalized and lower income communities. not everyone came out of that situation alive, families and kids included.

be kind, help your neighbors, keep your pets inside, and take a warm bath <3

An incomplete list of things that employers commonly threaten that are 100% illegal in the United States

• “We’ll fire you if you tell others how much you’re making” The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 specifically protects employees who discuss their own wages with each other (you can’t reveal someone else’s wages if you were given that information in the course of work, but you can always discuss your own or any that were revealed to you outside of work duties)
• “If we can’t fire you for [discussing wages/seeking reasonable accommodation/filing a discrimination complaint/etc], we’ll just fire you for something else the next day.” This is called pretextual termination, and it offers your employer almost no protection; if you are terminated shortly after taking a protected action such as wage discussion, complaints to regulatory agencies, or seeking a reasonable accommodation, you can force the burden onto your employer to prove that the termination wasn’t retaliatory.
• “Disparaging the company on social media is grounds for termination” Your right to discuss workplace conditions, compensation, and collective action carries over to online spaces, even public ones. If your employer says you aren’t allowed to disparage the company online or discuss it at all, their social media policy is illegal. However, they can forbid releasing information that they’re obligated to keep confidential such as personnel records, business plans, and customer information, so exercise care.
• “If you unionize, we’ll just shut this branch down and lay everyone off” Threatening to take action against a group that unionizes is illegal, full stop. If a company were to actually shut down a branch for unionizing, they would be fined very heavily by the NLRB and be opening themselves up to a class-action lawsuit by the former employees.
• “We can have any rule we want, it’s only illegal if we actually enforce it” Any workplace policy or rule that has a “chilling effect” on employees’ willingness to exercise their rights is illegal, even if the employer never follows through on any of their threats.
• “If you [protected action], we’ll make sure you never work in this industry/city/etc again.” Blacklisting of any kind is illegal in half the states in the US, and deliberately sabotaging someone’s job search in retaliation for a protected action is illegal everywhere in the US.
• “Step out of line and you can kiss your retirement fund/last paycheck goodbye.” Your employer can never refuse to give you your paycheck, even if you’ve been fired. Nor can they keep money that you invested in a retirement savings account, and they can only claw back the money they invested in the retirement account under very specific circumstances.
• “We’ll deny that you ever worked here” not actually possible unless they haven’t been paying their share of employment taxes or forwarding your withheld tax to the government (in which case they’re guilty of far more serious crimes, and you might stand to gain something by turning them in to the IRS.) The records of your employment exist in state and federal tax data, and short of a heist that would put Oceans 11 to shame, there’s nothing they can do about that.

This is all legit, and a lot of it falls under the protections for concerted activity. You can find more about that here: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/the-law/employees/concerted-activity
