i forget to file my taxes bc health and no income.

get the mail that i have one month to file my taxes and they will apply a 50$ late fee.

i email the office, telling them i am currently on welfare and waiting on a disability claim, so i basically have no income to report either way. i ask if they would consider waiving the fee. Super nice polite email.

i get the response back today. verbatim:

"Sir,

We cannot agree to your request to waive the late fee."

that’s fucking it. not even a hello, not even a “sorry but”, just go fuck yourself i guess lol. there is a “best regards” at the end but this shit was tacked on by their signature so I don’t count it.

fuck this, and then they wonder why people sound entitled when they’re on welfare. it’s because if you don’t fight for your scraps of bread you won’t even have crumbs left to eat.

tbh the fee itself is okay, i think they owe me a refund so it’ll probably just get absorbed. it’s more the sheer contempt in the email and i really hope i don’t get audited now lmao cause there’s a few things they shouldn’t find out!! (probably won’t but you never know with these bureaucrats).
