How fucked are you if you don’t file?
I didn’t file last year, because I’ve been in a clusterfuck of borderline homelessness and odd jobs for the past two years. Idk if I am even able to file this year if I didn’t last?

if you're making money and don't file, it'll catch up to you. If you're poor and don't file they will make your life harder when you try to collect social services
Big part of it was the surprise illegal eviction my ex got to do when he wanted to move in his prostitute (cops in OK don’t give a shit about your rights if your trans lol). Navigating the divorce system with no money, all the paper work that I have no idea if survived the parents guest room -> friends couch -> apartment.
There aren’t social services here anyway at least lol
I wish you the best, friend. Maybe when you get your feet under you, the land should be a different place? Washington State will treat you much differently but you would have to deal with the weather change...
It sounds like you aren't making much money, so you probably don't owe much, if any, in taxes. For the year 2024, if you got a W-2 from your employer, you should file. What you did in previous years won't affect your ability to file this year. Who knows? perhaps you will get a refund.

I'm getting a $10,000 refund for federal income tax (overestimated when paying my estimated taxes), but I owe $9,500 for Californian income tax. <_<
If Americans want a proper country, yall better get used to paying 40% taxes like in Europe muhahahahah!!!
Ok, some parts of Europe..
With state taxes, my top tax rate is above 40 percent. Are we counting healthcare and social security as taxes too? Where’s muh proper country?!

This government doesn't deserve our tax dollars. Theyve made it clear they're funneling as much as possible straight to the billionaires.
Just don't pay.
Boy they are not funneling shit it already all goes to them openly for years. You are feeling the aftershock. And many people have told you that your working class is being robbed blind. But you did nothing but fuel the fire. You protested then you said cringe to yourself about the process and the oligarchy laughs every time
