It always confused me when Americans go on about having to do their taxes, that kinda makes sense tho. Shit just gets automatically deducted here whatever the case, it's the employers responsibilty for the most part.
Didn't turn out too bad, ended up owing uncle sam a thousand and change. Got to write off like 8K in computer equipment and a fraction of my rent so that helped out a lot. Thank god for turbotax, I couldn't have done this shit on my own.
I've only had the job for a few months. I don't think I ever paid taxes on any income I made when I was 16-18 and it could be from that, I have no idea. I did lots of part time jobs and they never took tax off anything (I guess I'm supposed to do that myself)

8K in equipment? Is there any way you could scam this to get me a new gaming PC?
You need business income to be able to write things off against. So it's like a discount, but weirdly the math doesn't really work out in a way that's easily transferable. Huh, I guess it's kinda wierd isn't it? Like you couldn't give me money, have me buy some shit as a write off, give it to you, and experience the "discount". That seems interesting in a game-theory kind of way.

It was only headphones and I chickened out, I aint got the balls to steal anymore. I psyched myself up, walked in the shop, rolled up my sleeves, immediately eyeballed by security so I rolled my sleeves back down and just bought them instead. It was Tesco so it had some big black dude standing at the front by the cctv monitoring station.
I used to go in Sainsburys and steal pairs of headphones just out of boredom. I went and got like 5 pairs once and traded them with some chick I lived with for 2 beers. Well worth it
