Clients 2 children under the age of 14 each had stock sale with a 2200 Gain.

Each child had taxes due. Mother was furious. She thinks taxes are illegal to begin with.

I filed mothers taxes claiming both kids earlier in the year, so I brought up her tax return and what do you know. This same person got:
$ 3388 in EIC
$ 1221 in CTC

she paid $226 income tax that zeroed out with CTC

Suggested she move to Iraq or Iran and send $4609 back to ther IRS. She indicated she had thought about it, but would have trouble with the language barrier.

Ya gota love it.

Wife was..........

........furious because she cashed in US Bonds that yielded $ 22,000 of interest income. "WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THIS, IT SHOULD BE TAX FREE INCOME................". I told her NYS has agreed to not tax this interest so you got half your wish.
