IRS Free File is available to most taxpayers, namely those who earned roughly $70,000 or less in 2019. It’s free. It’s easy. You can even use your mobile phone to do the filing. For the millions of taxpayers who qualify, what could be easier?
And if a refund is due, using Free File will get you that refund through free direct deposit, which is faster than any way to get a refund, according to the IRS. If you owe taxes, you can use Direct Pay or electronic options to pay the U.S. Treasury.
In case you are keeping track:
I haven't paid income taxes since 1994 — and the IRS won't send me to prison
Do you have any pull over at the federal jurisdiction? Thank you for your kind attention in this matter. Hopefully you can help me. C.K.
Dear C.K.: You might be reading this all wrong. The IRS may have looked you up and determined that your "comedy" can't possibly earn you any money. And if you don't earn money, you don't have to pay taxes.
Anyway, I'll try to get you incarcerated by putting this in the paper, but I can't promise anything. I guess the IRS folks are busy looking at Jerry Seinfeld's royalties on his tax returns, and may already have its quota of comedians' audits. But be patient, I think they will eventually get to you.

Smog, taxes and home-building doomed this Inland Valley couple's orange grove – Daily
Forrest and Ferna Doucette didn't need to do much research to realize their days as citrus ranchers were numbered.
The Doucettes owned orange trees in the western portion of San Antonio Heights north of Upland until the early 1950s.
They had purchased an experimental orchard originally planted by John S. Armstrong, the famed plant developer and founder of the Armstrong nursery company which began in Ontario. This was an unusual grove because among other types, Armstrong tried to develop smaller orange trees. His hope had been for a shorter tree that would make it possible for workers to harvest the fruit without ladders.

You'll Probably Pay This Tax All Year -- but the Rich Won't | The Motley
Paying taxes is never fun, but one thing that makes many taxpayers more comfortable is the idea that the more money you make, the more in taxes you'll pay. The U.S. has a relatively progressive income tax system, with multiple tax brackets that go up as your income rises.
However, when it comes to Social Security payroll taxes, the situation is much different. The federal government takes money out of every employee's paycheck at the same flat percentage rate of 6.2% for Social Security. Moreover, there's a maximum amount above which no additional tax gets charged -- essentially meaning that the rich get to stop paying this tax at some point during the year even as those of more modest means end up paying it all year long.
