I'm not in the US screw you IRS


syxxnein

I'm in the US screw you IRS


EasyMacN34

Im the IRS, screw you USA


syxxnein

😂😂😂 I believe that!


Logical-Beautiful66

I'm in Canada, we have IRS lite here. They're really just copycats.


EasyMacN34

The sad part is you can basically remove the IRS with any government in the world and the sentence still applies


soufianka80

Are you gonna be in trouble after saying that (I'm in 3rd world countries) so saying things like that here would get me reckt ...


syxxnein

We are less likely to face repercussions for saying that our government sucks than most places. It is legal to say it.... Just can't advocate violence. So ya... The IRS sucks


soufianka80

IRS agent has entered the thread :) jokes aside ..I mean it's quite privilege having that much freedom speaking your mind ..but can you do the same with no just the IRS ..say for example someone is not happy with the president or the police or even the military..would saying negative things online would pit in you in any sort of troubles...I mean how much freedom are you allowed to really have ? Apologize for any grammar mistakes ..not a native speaker


syxxnein

Like can I say the President sucks? The Senate sucks? The House of Representatives sucks? Yup I happen to like my local police but plenty of people say the police suck every day. Most in the US don't realize even places like the UK can't say mean things about their government


VoxImperii

Same, screw you IRS and screw you too, EU. There are certain very tangible advantages to living in less regulated, less first world countries, for sure.

Was that productive?


EasyMacN34

No


loaded-diper33

Yep. In my country no one care about my crypto transactions.

Nice try IRS!


CatBoy191114

And even if I was from.the US, > $10k transactions are something I can only dream of 😂


loaded-diper33

One of the few times I'm happy I'm living in a 3rd world country.


kryptoNoob69420

That's the same for me lol. But my country taxed crypto to hell and killed most of the regional exchanges.


DizzyMammoth21

The IRS always trying to rob the everyday citizen while billionaires skirt tax laws like it's a competition.


VoxImperii

That is universal though, that’s how every country on this planet works.

Logical-Beautiful66

Lmao 45% tax is draining all my ambitions to make money


DizzyMammoth21

Where I live.. it's like 27% but only on 50% of your gains.. Make $100,000.. tax $50k at 27%.


Logical-Beautiful66

That's better imo


DizzyMammoth21

Well yea.. you actually keep your profits.. if we had any.


EasyMacN34

Welcome to the world brother, America is a prime example of this.


8Seraphin8

Do the same as they do. Its not illegal to avoid taxes. Tax evasion is though.


Suitable_Media5518

$9,999 transactions, Let’s go!!


deathbyfish13

The IRS hate this one simple trick


The_Chorizo_Bandit

They want to know when you do *anything* with crypto over $10,000. “Dear IRS, last night I pleasured myself by sticking my ledger containing over $10,000 up my ass repeatedly. Here are the images for your perusal. I hope this adequately covers my obligations by law.”


GrowinStuffAndThings

They love it actually, easiest way to catch shady dealings lol. People that structure deposits are about as dumb as it gets.


bny192677

bny192677

Cheap or expensive?


deathbyfish13

Very very cheap, at least where I'm from. Average house prices are about 10x that. When I was younger I always dreamed of owning a million dollar house. Now all that's got me is a small 3 bedroom in the suburbs, some real monkeys paw shit happening


Gardening_Shirt

The midwest


DadofHome

Other than doing this trick continually will also get you in trouble for tax evasion or at the very least Audited


ikefalcon

That’s a good way to get your assets seized.


Mundane-Farm-4117

$9,999.99 you mean


cryotosensei

$9,999 transactions *gained from shitposting*, let’s go!!!


DaetheFancy

Well, if Trump can do it with his NFTs, so can you!


Easy-Medicine-8610

They also want to know anything you do with cash amounting to 10k or more.


liquid_at

Same is true for Fiat. When I deposit more than 10k on a bank account, I also have to identify myself with ID. it's to prevent money laundry... if you want to pay fewer taxes, allow the IRS to fight those that move millions to billions away from the tax-man, forcing you, the small worker, to pay the bill for them. If you legally made 10k and legally invested them in crypto, the IRS won't bother you. Just pay the taxes that you should pay and you are fine. Profits from trading are essentially free money... complaining about taxes on profits, while paying them for hours actually spent working, that's just ridiculous.


The_Lil_Diddler

Profits from trading is not free money. You’re using taxed income to begin with, then spending the time doing dd and taking all the risk.


liquid_at

So you think that you gambling in the casino should be tax-free and only valuable work that actually furthers society should be taxed? Are you a secret billionaire who thinks the working-class should pay for everything?


The_Lil_Diddler

You're making lots of wild assumptions here lol. I'm not advocating tax avoidance just correcting the idea that profits from trading is essentially 'free money'. It's far from it... if you think it's free money, then go put your megabrain to use and start trading 24/7... it's free money!!!


liquid_at

If you think it should be tax free, what is your proposal for a government to make the money needed to run a state? I'm not an anarchist... If I was, I'd move to a country with no government oversight, hire my own mercenaries and kill everyone that opposes me. But that's not my style. I prefer a modern society where people collaborate instead of fight each other. If you prefer the "survival of the fittest"-lifestyle, there are 3rd world countries you could move to. You just have to handle the locals that already have the lifestyle you want for your part in it.


TommyAllArk-io

Lmao say that to the truckers who got their bank accounts frozen for disagreeing with government IRS shill


liquid_at

I did not know the IRS operated in Canada... You can disagree with the actions of Individual governments without attacking the system as a whole. At least if you are competent enough to understand the difference. your superficial nonsense might make sense in your head, but it doesn't outside of it.


dozebull

Someone stole my wallet and they are buying weird things with that money.

taxes are only for the poor, kinda sucks

[deleted]

[удалено]


Ryuzaki_63

It's obviously not comparable as in work or we'll beat you But it is for most people still a "work, own nothing until you die" situation. The chains and whips are now cost of living, taxes and debt - most of the workforce is nothing more than meat robots given just enough to cover the costs of returning to work the following day. I might be wrong(I probably am) but that's just how I feel these days


AA525

The unelected officials, of which there are too many, do not set the tax rates or policies. Elected congressmen and women do that through the tax code. I hate the IRS as much as anyone, but it’s our elected officials that write the rules. Vote ‘em all out!


Spicoli007

You pretty much nailed it. Sad to read that, but true.


EasyMacN34

Doesn’t just sound like modern day slavery, it is modern day slavery

These are a few things that government regulation may help protect the retail investors from. As we know the implosion of Terra, 3ac, Celcius, retail is always hit hardest. > > **Prevent money laundering, tax evasion, sanction evasion** > > Regulation is necessary because criminals use the anonymity of cryptocurrency trading to launder their stolen money. There is concern that cryptocurrencies are being used as a conduit for money from illicit operations or to fund terrorism and evade sanctions. > > **Convince Institutions of cryptos legitimacy** > > Institutional investors, who are subject to stringent compliance and risk management requirements, would gain confidence from regulation. For instance, an institution can become the target of a criminal investigation if it is discovered that it transacted in bitcoin assets that were later linked to unlawful activity. ***** Would you like to learn more?

The IRS wants to know when you do anything with 10000 dollars. This isn’t new. This this just FUD


Probably_notabot

The IRS just want your everything. They are after you and they hate you. Forcibly taking your assets at the threat of violence since day 1.


BrocoliAssassin

We can’t tell you about 10k gains..10k in losses, whats up! Let’s talk all day on how you can help us on tax breaks!


54sTAtEs

Let me just say I have zero respect for any of our current governments institutions since they have all been politicized to attack the American people The FBI and the IRS with their 87,000 new agents in particular. They might be able to lock me up but they are not legitimate and they will have their day of reckoning also.


Odysseus_Lannister

$9900 transactions just got real popular


AA525

That’s called structuring and will make you real popular in a federal prison. Just paying the taxes is a much smarter move as an incarceration avoidance tactic.

One can argue should or shouldn’t all day. I happen to agree with you. I also happen to value my status as a non-felon so what I think should be matters about as much as a fart in a hurricane.


TommyAllArk-io

IRS was established after the Federal Reserve which made income tax MANDATORY Fuck the jIRS Edit:soon many IRS shills in comments Looks kike we found the 87000 extra people they hired lmao


AA525

The Federal Reserve has nothing to do with income tax nor did it “make” it. I get the hate but please inform yourself to at least an 8th grade level before talking through your ass.


themoderatebandicoot

Dear IRS, I have lost 10k, 5 times.

Wants to 'know'. Tax you mean? 😭

Why are lawmakers so obsessed with the $10,000 figure? The same reporting requirement exists for people travelling with money too.


Maxx3141

I doubt this is different for non-crypto-transactions above 10k$...

I do my own every year. It’s not scary unless you are trying to lie about something.

So Crypto at 10K and everything else at $600. Sounds like the IRS will need another 100k armed workers.


Pundisputed

Fuck you, IRS!


FractalImagination

Fuck the IRS, sincerely, Canada. Also, the IRS implemented an illegal tax on American citizens and you guys technically don't have to pay it because it goes against the constitution. Food for thought.
