I mailed my income tax return off to the
United States earlier this week. It's
ridiculous. Did you know if you work overseas,
you don't have to pay U.S. taxes? That's
generous of them, but you still have to file
a return. Wankers.

Actually, only part of your income is exempt.
Anything you earn over $80,000 US is subject
to taxation. I don't think I have anything to
worry about.

The forms I send them are just 4 pages of zeroes,
and then my salary, written as a loss. It's kind
of depressing. Most people I know here don't
even bother. But I find it simpler than the IRS coming
to me one day and asking me, "Hey where are your
returns for the last 5 years?"
