What's my incentive for paying taxes on time?
What's my incentive for paying taxes on time?
Date published: 10/29/2009 What's my incentive for paying taxes on time? I get very upset every time I hear about the state offering to waive late-tax-filing penalties to anyone paying late and outstanding taxes by a certain date ["State hopes tax amnesty program will raise cash," Sept. 29]. I understand that this has been quite successful. What upsets me is how I have paid my taxes, on time, all my working life, without even With the way the evaders are being treated, I feel foolish that I didn't wait for this offer. I could have taken all that tax money, put it into a bank savings account, collected interest, and then when the state set up this program, take the money out, pay off my debt and have a little pile of interest money And I thought I was being Along with this program A proposal: With the next filing date, we are allowed to deduct, say, $50 a year for every year we paid our taxes on time going back 20 years. I am just tired of trying to follow the rules, be a fairly good citizen, stay out of trouble, and then watch the evaders get off scot free. Tell me, what are we to tell the younger generation about following the rules? It just isn't fair. Dale Virch Orange

People who pay late still pay. Its not over for them when its over for everyone else. You can just turn in your taxes, and not have to worry much about raising any red flags to be audited. As for Milde - omg, seriously people? He paid his taxes late! Oh no! Even though he's been an enormous advocate for this county, lets just all turn our backs to this leper. Get over it.
It is the way Govt works

I am not a tax evader. I have been paying taxes since 1976, however, due to job changes and cut backs I end up owing some money to the state. (By the way, I was never thanked for the previous 33 years of paying my tax on time.) Don't assume that just because people can use a little break, they're criminals. Case in point -- I didn't go buy a house when prices were clearly rising above their worth, but I bet my taxes will help pay those bad decisions off.
It works for Milde
