Today, just for the heck of it, I'll call Tax Trouble Tuesday cuz that's what day it is where I'm at in Okinawa, Japan. Don't worry, I haven't got tax troubles like Willie Nelson had. What a hoot !
My delinquent taxes are on some property in California that's probably going to fall into the ocean someday. Soon, I hope. Do you still have to pay taxes for property you own at the bottom of the sea ?
Usually, I pay my taxes to help those poor folks back in California, way ahead of time. But, last year, I guess I stuck the tax bill in the box with all the Christmas cards I keep forgetting to write.
Then, this pink slip came in the mail and I stuffed it in my cargo pocket so I wouldn't forget to make an online payment.
Well, I walked around in a typhoon and got everything soaked. It's dry now and I went to make an online-delinquent payment. They wouldn't take my money because the online robots were too busy counting everybody else's delinquent tax payments. Sounds like business is booming there !
So, they're getting my taxes, the old fashioned way, by snail mail.
My penalties and all comes up to less than the cost of a sixpack of beer. No need to auction off any of the wife's (excess) household possessions or anything like that. I could skip a few beers this week and come out ahead, I suppose.
It's not even the IRS, just the state of California. I have kinfolk there so, I don't wish the whole place would fall in the ocean. Just my property would be good enough, for me. Unless Willie wants the place. I'd give him a good deal.
DISCLAIMER: SOMEBODY ELSE THUNK OF TAX TROUBLE TUESDAY BEFORE ME
Hah, and somebody named Jody went in the comments department and called Willie a "rich, hippy dope head". Wonder what Jody was smoking ? There ain't no hippies in Texas, are there ?
