The Doctor in the cube next to mine is talking to the IRS, saying that he received his income tax refund for 2012, but hasn't received his refund for 2013.
Starting pay for doctors at my job is over $130,000 a year.
My pay is less than $50,000.
My wife makes less than $10,000.
Rounding up, she and I combined make less than half what this Doctor makes.
We did not receive a refund in 2012 or 2013. We had to pay money both years.
In 2013, my wife did our taxes.
In 2012, we paid a tax attorney to do our taxes. We paid him a lot of money so that we could pay more money to the government.
Our annual income for both of those years combined did not equal ONE year for this Doctor.
And he received a refund for BOTH years.
This is really, REALLY fucking wrong. So unbelievably wrong.
And, as far as I know, there's nothing we can do.
Story of my life.
"Shit sucks. Sorry. You just gotta keep getting fucked, dude. Nothing to be done."
"Nothing to be done."
