OMG I HATE TAXES!!!

AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGG!!!!! o (>_< ) o

I'm trying to file my taxes in Japan.... the US tax forms are hard enough for me to fill out let alone ones that are COMPLETLY in Japanese (which I can't read).

I did find a site that walks me through how to actually fill out the form... but lets face it.... if it has to do with taxes it's not going to be written in clear, plain english (>_O)

check this out:

"If the payer has already withheld income tax, such tax is deductible. But as for income from interests or dividends subject to seperate taxation at source, or as for dividends etc. (see "income from dividends" on page 26), which you have opted not to report in your final return, you cannot deduct the withholding tax on such income, since taxation is completed by withholding at source"

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!!!!!!! (O_o)/


Now I know someone has just read that and went "oh that's easy"... well good for you (o ¬_¬ )b

but seriously even talking about taxes/money stresses the hell out of me and the language in tax forms/help and legal documents tends to confuse me more o(>_< )o

well now that I've had my rant I feel better...(o ^_-)b    I've also given up on trying to figure it out and am going to go to the International Center on Monday (the day taxes are due) and make them help me.  Then after all of this I still have to file my US tax return which should be a treat because I can't use the 1040ez form (for those of you not in the US that's the simplest form you can use) because I have income from Japan.

anyway, as always... thanks for listening (^_^)
