April 02, 2006 To California!On My University's Dime Caracas, Venezuela (we hardly knew ye) Well, friends, this was unexpected. Your narrator is going to America tomorrow. A few days in LA, a weekend in San Diego, and a return ticket to Caracas. I haven't decided whether or not I'll use that. Michigan calls...so hold on! And, if you're a late filer like your narrator, get your taxes done. You can't just close your eyes and make them go away. I tried. Comments:
On taxes: I can't believe you have to pay them... Did you make more than $8,000 inside the USA last year? Does the US govt make you pay income tax if you made the money in a foriegn country in foriegn currency?
after all that, i talked to my parents' financial advisor and found out that i don't have to do taxes! apparently if you fall below a certain income level, you just don't file. the computer processes your information, and if they don't suspect any "irregularity" they just go on to the next citizen. this news makes me happy.
