“I can do hard things. I can do hard things. I can do hard things…” —me to myself before doing a trivial task I don’t want to do but have to do and should do after procrastinating by doing equally uninteresting tasks that have no urgency
Totally unrelated, but after filing my Swedish tax form, I assisted my wife, son and daughter with filing their tax forms. Took upwards of 7-10 minutes each just confirming the pre-filled forms, and frankly, they didn't need my help with the filing. I just happen to be very familiar with the navigation on the site.
@airwhale I appreciate the Swedish tax system immensely. The US could learn much from it, but there are a lot of rich people and an entire industry who benefit from its complexity.
FBAR is FUBAR because US Americans effectively lose Congressional representation when they move abroad (no member of Congress has enough constituents living abroad to care about them), so all the tax laws assume a citizen living abroad is either a terrorist or a tax evader.
There are more US Americans living abroad than live in 40 of the 50 states.
[I have loaded the FBAR website, but not started because I needed to vent by tweeting.]
Another year and the erroneous error message about the website not working in the latest version of Firefox is still not fixed on the FinCEN US Treasury Department website.
