Breitbart: IRS Increases Penalty for Tax Underpayments to Eight Percent
IRS Increases Penalty for Tax Underpayments to Eight Percent
The IRS is now charging eight percent interest for estimated tax underpayments, up from three percent two years ago. This increase is a result of rising interest rates. Gig workers and consultants who don't have taxes withheld may be affected, as well as those with additional income who miscalculate their payments. To avoid penalties, most filers must pay 90% of their taxes through withholding or estimated payments. The IRS won't charge a penalty if the balance due is less than $1,000 after accounting for withholding and credits.

The IRS imposes the Underpayment of Estimated Tax penalty on individuals, estates, and trusts who fail to pay enough estimated taxes on income or if the payment is overdue. The penalty may still apply even if a refund is owed. IRS officials have delayed reporting requirements for gig workers earning over $600 through apps like Zelle and Venmo. In January, a survey found that most Americans believe Congress should repeal funding for additional IRS agents. It's worth noting that the IRS has been hiring armed agents.

The Union Monopoly: In Trouble in Florida
Public employees no longer have to pay union dues, but they are still part of collective bargaining units. Unwilling workers should not be forced to join a union or be part of collective bargaining. Florida's SB 256 allows public employee union locals to be decertified if they don't get dues from 60% of their members, creating a more competitive system. Miami-Dade Education Coalition offers lower dues and no political spending. SB 256 does not apply to unions representing law enforcement officers, correctional officers, correctional probation officers, and firefighters. Florida's SB 256 is a step in the right direction for workers' rights.

Front Page Magazine: Heavily Shackled Humanity
Heavily Shackled Humanity
Despite Western politicians continuing to view Islam as a peaceful religion, Hamas, like ISIS and al-Qaeda, embodies the true, violent nature of Islam. Islam is a religion that interprets divine revelation literally, with strict and irreversible laws. Movements of spiritual protest and doubts are unfamiliar in Islam, and it boldly seeks expansion and the establishment of an Islamic state based on Sharia law. Conspiracy theories are ingrained in the ruling elite and death through jihad is seen as a blessing. Islam is not a religion of peace, as Enlightenment philosophers and historians recognized.
