  They should ask ChatGPT for tips on tax fraud.

  “You’re really taking initiative here! Let’s consider how to invest those funds instead into vans full of fertilizer and punch up a manifesto!”

  According to NZXT’s advertising partners, all your parents need to do is to win a Fortnite tournament, then they can afford it, easy.

  Unfortunately it’s too late to create a small business during the fiscal year and report meals, “supplies”, and standard mileage deduction (for traveling between work locations *wink wink*), and the cost of hiring a tax specialist (perhaps somebody very very close to them *wink wink*) which would have been a foolproof plan because the IRS won’t audit anybody unless they: 1) can make more back than they spend on the audit and 2) have enough staff with which to perform the audit.

  They should increase their withholding by about $150/month.

    They’d be happier if I stole 6 dollars from their bank every day and gave them a $2000 Red Envelope on Lunar News Years lmfao.

  Are they able to itemize and take a larger deduction due to the increase in SALT limits? And all of the information entered is correct, and the amount owed matched what, e.g. a calculator like Smart Asset says?

  Err, I mean, have they tried claiming that you are 7 people, your sister is a clergymen, and your brother was wounded in Vietnam?

  Have they considered flying to Virginia, finding the IRS HQ, robbing 1,870 different IRS agents of $1 each, and then paying the fine?

    (Or they can be very frugal and walk there in 3 days… but that’s after April 15 and then the Taxman is big mad…

    Biking maybe? xD)
