I never understood tax returns. If I'm being taxed at a certain percentage why do you need me to tell you you taxed me too much or too little?

Every year, I'm amazed that normies treat their tax refund as profit. They don't seem to realize they're getting their own money back.

Just goes to show you the dangerous nature of jewish trickery. Of course, I'm talking about actual net tax payers, not shitskins and jews that file their returns to obtain a de facto welfare check. Now THAT is something I don't understand, but hey -- just goes to show you the dangerous nature of jewish trickery, right?

boomers carried this trend after their degenerate parents taught it to them.

Because the government does not have the information to calculate an individual's taxes. Or rather, it has no way of knowing whether it knows. Calculating your taxes requires knowledge of all sources of income, only some of which are reported. It requires knowledge of the adjusted tax basis of capital assets to calculated gains or losses. It also requires knowledge of both above the line and below the line deductions or credits, most of which are not reported, either.

Sure, if your taxes are simple based solely on one W-2 and your only adjustment is the standard deduction, then the government has the information and could calculate it. But while that may describe a majority of the number of taxpayers, it does not describe most of the people who pay the majority of the tax amount. The system simply would not work and would constantly be the subject of court fights if the government tried to calculate everyone's tax.

Because of the bullshit games they play on figuring out what your taxes are each paycheck.
