Nothing was taken from that relatively small amount of profit, but I assume it will absolutely drain any chance I have at a refund. (The last few years have been just under $1K.)

I can't see how I can possibly owe you two grand. I'm sure there are people who make twice as much as me who don't owe fuck.

anyway, you wind up owing money this way:
if you're married, and you mark "married filing jointly" on your withholding forms at work, they withhold LESS money from your check than they would if you marked "single." this is because the tax system (wrongly, in almost all cases) assumes that if you're married and filing jointly, you're supporting your wife. If both people are working, you have to go through the two-earner, two job worksheet to find out what the difference is b/w what they'll withhold and how much taxes you will actually owe. This is almost always short though for some reason. (note: this is all only true for Federal. State, which is what I owe, doesn't bother to give you a nice worksheet to figure this out. They just say "fuck you", give you no tools to find out how much you owe, and then charge you when you're short. This is called "California is broke and squeezing you for money, bitches.").
If your income fluctuates from month to month because of overtime or bonuses or something, then God help you.
Being married sucks for taxes because of this, and also, this: say you make 70k. Say your spouse make 40k. If you're single, you pay the tax rate for someone making 70k, and your spouse would pay the rate for someone making 40k. But if you're married, you pay the rate for ONE income making 110k. Which is a higher percentage than the others. This means you pay more taxes when you're married than single people making the same money. This is called the marriage penalty and everyone thinks that they got rid of it last year. They did, but only for very low income people. The rest of the country (ie: the middle class) gets fucked.

Ugh … sorry.., I mean I don’t work for the IRS so it’s not my fault but
― sarahell, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 22:00 (one week ago) link
_The IRS fairly primitive computer system_every year I get a letter from them about 1099s and it's like "Sorry, but the name doesn't match the SSN#" and invariably the name DOES match the actual SSN# but their 1953 scanners read the name and/or SS number wrong
hey guys did you know I'm so baller that in addition to working my full-time job, I made $14,000 in non-employee compensation from DoorDash in 2022?
Me neither! but the IRS seems to think I did!

Did someone steal your SSN# or something?
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 2 May 2024 20:27 (one week ago) link
i think if someone outright stole it, I'd have noticed before now. but I am checking my credit report just in case.
feel like it's more a case of someone who was keying in an SSN made a one digit error, but who knows.
― RICH BRIAN (Neanderthal), Thursday, 2 May 2024 20:32 (one week ago) link
apparently this is a thing that has happened to other people though:

Yeah, it's not like DoorDash requires you to show the actual SS Card - you can probably tell them any old number
years ago I worked at design firm and we briefly had a contractor from eastern europe.. I kept asking her to complete the W-2 (she claimed her SSN# was 'private') and when she finally handed it back to me, her SSN# was XXX-XX-1234 .. literally 1234 were the last four digits. Huh, what are the chances of that?
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 2 May 2024 20:39 (one week ago) link
CONFIRMED - IDENTITY STOLEN.
looked at the transcripts and you can see the address that Doordash had for me is one I've never had in history. this should be a fairly easy process to dispute as I can prove on my own credit report I've never lived there. have set up credit freeze and fraud alert on my account. have all of the forms ready to go.

bleh.
looks like the guy got deactivated eons ago but may have actually been using my DoorDash account. cunning.
FTC report and IRS ID theft report filed electronically, just gotta respond to the CP2000 now.

Doordash replied with what seems like a form letter to indicate yes it was fraud and they deactivated the account. apparently this happens so much at their great, well-run company that they already have a template for it.
welp that'll make my claim with IRS easier.
