Taxes

Trev, are you paid on an hourly rate, or are you "scheduled" as a GS or SV?

This could answer a couple of issues.

 

metard u have a great job.


uncle sam takes like 3 and change from me everyweek.

those hellfire missiles we drop on isis aint gonna pay for dem selves

 

STFU and keep working!!!
You are paying for my Social Security even though I don't need it!!!
Work 80 hours this week, and pay up!! I want a raise!!

That goes for ALL of you morons!!! WORK!! WORK!!! WORK!!!!

heh, heh....mean, ain't I??

 

Was this a bonus payment? If so 40% is normal. Also are you factoring in stuff like a healthcare premium you might pay each check or money into a 401k. 40% is way too high for a non- bonus check.

 

Yeah dude, you're in a bracket (or "tier") where you are assessed at a higher tax level than somebody making $12/hr.

Even though you are seasonal, the Government is taxing you as a full time long term employee. The gov is very good at hiring people and putting them in the highest tax bracket possible. It gives the appearance of an excellent wage, but in reality creates a situation where you give the gov more and more of your hard earned $$$.

I'm assuming that you are also claiming exemptions.

Don't hit the " exempt" button, you most likely wont qualify.

You have a couple of options...

Follow the good advice of the others and decrease your exemptions. However, don't expect much of an increase with your net, and kiss your tax return goodbye.

Or, increase your exemptions and find a *good* tax consultant (not HR Block). You are currently spending your own cash for items that could probably be itemized and contribute to a healthy return. Make a couple of donations to worthy causes...more money.

A creative and knowledgeable consultant will make you far more money than the costs of their services.

 

No he does not hes retarded no metarted.
