nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

i am still sad that its just called the switch 2. like youre going to charge people 500 dollars or whatever and you cant even be bothered to give her a pretty name? come on

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

Also the IRS will NEVER cold call you. If you get an upsetting phone call about your taxes it is a scam.

Hey, so, I work at the IRS, and this is not just accurate, it actively understates how much the IRS is willing to work with you.

Mistakes happen, and if you submit a paper return, a tax examiner (like me!) will check over your return to make sure numbers are on the right lines, forms are in the right order, and your return is complete. Sometimes that means we finish filling out forms for you, no joke. As long as you made a good faith effort, we do our best to help you.

We even do our best to help people who aren't filing in good faith, who are actively and blatantly trying to sneak something illegal by us. They get the same treatment as everyone else: we make sure entries are put on the right lines, we fix what forms we can, and adjust impossible deductions the same way we do with typos, even when it's really obvious a taxpayer is trying to sneak things by us.

There are very few circumstances where returns are taken out of our hands and routed to the serious, 'scary' departments, and believe me it is impossible to commit those kinds of fraud by accident. You have to go down some weird aggressive research rabbit holes to commit the kind of capital-F Fraud the IRS gets in a tizzy over.

Point is, the IRS is nowhere near as scary as you've been led to believe it is, and the folks that claim otherwise are either rich enough to have an agenda against the IRS, or they're vanishingly rare statistical outliers who fell through every crack and redundancy in the system.

As for the calling thing, @k-she-rambles is right, hoooo buddy the IRS will absolutely never ever cold call you, our accounts management people are so backed up that it's a miracle to get one on the line for taxpayers trying to call in. The only way I know of offhand that you're getting a legitimate call from the IRS is if you've received multiple forms in the mail and replied saying that it's okay for them to call you.

If you ever receive an alarming text, email or prerecorded message claiming to be from the IRS, that is a scammy scam scam, and you can and should report that via contact methods found at the IRS phishing reporting page here.

Bringing this back from last year, something I'd forgotten to say before is, if you're submitting a paper tax return, please, PLEASE, sign it.

If you're that afraid of numbers and you don't do anything else besides put your name and address at the top, if you sign the return, in person with ink on the paper, then include all your other tax documents, we can do everything else. You might not get every deduction you should, but we will do your return for you for free.

Since 2019, the signature line has always been on the second page, and there's a designated area specifically for signing. It's under a small print paragraph that starts, "Under penalty of perjury..." It will say SIGN HERE to the left of the signature lines.

Despite the clear indications that's where you're supposed to sign, I see at least a hundred returns a week where folks just straight up didn't do that.

If you don't sign your return, you don't just get a letter, you get the entire return back, and you don't get any credit for having filed until the return comes back to us with a signature in the right place. About a third of the time, the returns that do come back either aren't signed, or they're signed in the wrong place, and I can't fix that, even if there's a cranky letter.

Luigi Mangione has been locked up since December 2024, and he's been met with nothing but the violation of his rights every step of the way. Luigi's right to be treated humanely is constantly violated, as is his right to the presumption of innocence and a fair trial. Evidence is not being provided to his legal team, and he's being treated with prejudice by law enforcement.

Luigi is not a handsome face and a few jokes online. He is a real human being with real pain and real health issues. Luigi is a young man fighting for his life and the media is doing nothing but trying to sexualize him and make light of his situation.

Luigi has already lost so much to this, and although he remains resilient, it's important to remember that his circumstances can't possibly be good. It's also important to remember that if they can do it to Luigi, they can do it to more people, to your loved one, to you.

So please, keep talking about Luigi. Keep standing by Luigi. Keep supporting Luigi.

Never let Luigi Mangione walk alone.

i think when it comes to knowledge gaps (especially on tumblr) its easy to get insecure about not knowing everything. but the real secret is that you can get away with not knowing everything if you just dont insert yourself into conversations you dont understand with blind confidence. the internet also gives you the privilege of 1) googling/wikipediaing shit before you say it, and 2) not volunteering how little you know. you dont actually have to enter the conversation just to say how little you know. part of the stereotype of dipshit stupid american on here is that americans will say full chestedly that they dont know which continent tchad is in and then go out of their way to justify it with their lack of education. when no one asked them to say either thing. and even if someone did ask, you are never under any obligation to actually answer.
