There is no justice.
Only laws, and a court to act on laws.

Dumbass, you don't even grasp the basic concept here. You don't get to cheer for the police state when they enforce laws you like and then bash them when you don't like what they're doing. Try being consistent in your beliefs.

I wouldn't expect much else from a eunuch though. See, I can scroll through your post history and launch ad hominem attacks too, lol.

Yes.

I can’t imagine a time when that law would have made any sense. I wonder how it all came about and what the reason was, if it wasn’t pure greed.

Hell yeah!

U/wkomorow provided a link that addresses the situation precisely. That’s good Reddit.

Thank you for sharing this - it addresses exactly the scenario I was raising, and also confirms that it wouldn’t make sense to tax this refund under the circumstances described.

Reddit!!

Those folks who’s refund would bring them under the SALT limit, would be the ones who could be affected by this potential ruling.

I think what’s complicated is they’re wondering if this Chapter 62F payment was truly a state tax refund within the meaning of the relevant parts of the Internal Revenue Code, and if it wasn’t, then was it a government payment more like, say unemployment benefits?

Do Yourself a favor and transfer your prescriptions to a different pharmacy. The pharmacy should have at least apologized profusely for the mistake they made and it is definitely a risk to give you the wrong medication you can probably report them to the board if you have pic proof . they need to have documented that they gave you the wrong prescription for sure . If they let 2 things slide for you personally in one day then God knows how many other prescriptions they're messing up. It's definitely a liability to keep filling your prescriptions there I would not keep my drugs from my family there

It wouldn’t make sense. That’s why the state wrote that the Chapter 62F refund would be federally taxable only to the extent it was previously deducted from your federal income. In your example, it wouldn’t have previously been deducted; thus, it wouldn’t be taxable.

It should be criminal asset forfeiture

Did anyone get a 1099-G from Massachusetts for their regular refund? What about for the 62F refund?

Oh, ok. That makes sense then. Thanks!

If you itemize, yes, you can deduct state taxes withheld (and paid) from federal taxable income. That’s why state refunds are added back to your federal taxable income the following year. It’s not relevant if you take the federal standard deduction.

The lottery is the tax for the poor

I also could have taken you too literally…

I’ve taken advantage of that exception more than once to have small fire.

I was just kidding but if that’s actually how it works? Cool

I probably should have put a /s after my comment… the rules are basically there to prevent people from burning their neighborhoods to the ground or worse.

I just don't understand why it would count as income again. The state tax doesn't get deducted on federal taxes, so you already paid federal taxes on it when you earned the money in 2021. Is it just because it could impact how your itemized deductions were calculated? Is that why it's not applicable for the standardized deduction?

What about the 10k deduction cap on state and local taxes though? If you were only able to deduct 10k out of say, 20k of MA taxes, and this refund returned to you 3k of the 20k of MA taxes, how would it make sense to pay taxes on the refund of a deduction that you didn’t take?

Can confirm it was NOT Bridge St. in Lowell but nearby. That location was absolutely crazy. Went there months ago and the place was idk how to describe it. Most stress inducing place I've been to, I waited 2 hours for my parents meds there.

The pharmacist, I forget her name, was incredibly nice, unlike the pharmacist my parents dealt with today.

Are there any better locations in that area cuz they all seem awful?

So who goes after the IRS if they don’t do this? Why is it a question, the IRS doesn’t even seem sure of the answer since they’re not issuing guidelines, they’re telling us to wait. Also you know how government departments work right? Some of them are entirely made up of non-elected, appointed officials who can pass things that have the effect of law (not saying this 100% good or bad all the time or that all departments have equal power to do this).

The issue is more complicated than you are making it sound.

Edit: a word

The Poverty Tax just went up, apparently.

Oh no, you’re so oppressed because you can’t own any weapon you want, no questions asked.

Libertarians are an absolute joke who have no clue what real oppression actually is.

And Covid proved that. Comparing Covid measures to police brutality just shows that you have no clue what actual oppression or persecution actually is.

Maybe someday lolbertarians will grow up and realize that they don’t exist in a vacuum, and living in a society requires some degree of sacrifice for the collective good.

Cry me a river.

And let’s be real, most lolberts still just vote Republican because all you care about is guns.
