17 Hilarious Tweets That Sum Up What It's Like To Do Taxes Each Year
Though you probably won’t go to jail for making a mistake on your taxes, filing is one of those tasks that’s equal parts confusing and stressful. Most of us weren’t taught how to file taxes in school, and yet we’re all supposed to know how more than 2,600 pages of tax code apply to our personal financial situation (or hire someone who does).
It only adds insult to injury if you finish your tax return to find that you actually owe the Internal Revenue Service more money.
So if you’re procrastinating on getting your taxes done this year, here are some hilarious tweets about tax season to make you laugh in the meantime.
Government: You owe us money. It’s called taxes.
Me: How much do I owe?
Gov’t: You have to figure that out.
Me: I just pay what I want?
Gov’t: Oh, no we know exactly how much you owe. But you have to guess that number too.
Me: What if I get it wrong?
Gov’t: You go to prison— jordan (@jordan_stratton) April 16, 2019

What made me mad as a kid:
- losing in a video game
- not getting breakfast for dinner
- eating salad
What makes me mad now
- paying taxes
- when people put silverware the wrong direction in the drawer
- eating salad— The Dad (@thedad) February 15, 2020

Before I pay this tax, the government should AT LEAST tell me which of their friends they’ve earmarked the money for so I can have a shot at seducing him out of it again.

You can have a good evening or you can sit down with your husband to do your taxes.
You can’t have both.— Sarcastic Mommy (@sarcasticmommy4) February 18, 2020
