Discussion The easiest $30k this guy ever made

On October 26, 2022, the judge ruled that Walden's contact with Land should have ended when it became clear that Land was not sleeping in the park or in need of assistance, and that the city was not responsible for Walden's actions.

On November 22, 2022, the city settled the lawsuit for $30,000.

Actually I believe if you believe you followed tax code but it was minorly wrong they give you a pass on it but make you correct it.

Otherwise, 100%.

The IRS is actually quite practical about this. Their goal is to collect taxes, they'd much rather have people pay up rather than spend $ and time prosecuting people for honest mistakes.

if only they'd just tell us what we owe or that they owe us instead of allowing shitty companies like Intuit to lobby against simplifying our taxes
