(in 2012, i paid taxes on one week of unemployment collected in january 2011)

-2011-

-COMMON YEAR-

in 2011, i owed the IRS even more money due to unemployment benefits collected in 2010…$1617.59…i was unable to pay this in april 2011…so i worked out a deal with an IRS agent and he gave me until august 19th to pay the bill (he seemed to want a written confirmation that i’d pay the bill for legal purposes)…

“retroactive randomness”

the IRS kept me on hold for almost an hour…so i decided to go for a run (to the sounds of elevator music)…i ran several miles before i was able to get in touch with an agent…

i debated whether or not i should have even paid them off…at the time, i was also fighting an OUI charge in massachusetts and i knew this would drain my bank account even further…

(i mailed the check (paid for by my parents) on august 9th)

-2010-

-COMMON YEAR-

i filed started filing my own taxes (via turbotax) in 2010…the old man offered to help but i wanted to learn the “tax code”…the previous year, he was about to get me a ~$1500 rebate…

i began to panick because i thought that i owed thousands of dollars in back taxes after collecting unemployment benefits all year…i ended up paying $882 in taxes…$467 to the federal government…$415 to new york state…$30 to “turbotax” for each state income tax return filed (i lived in new york state from january – april 2009 and new jersey state from may – december 2009 for a total of $60 owed)…

(it takes several days for the IRS to deduct the tax payment from the bank account)
