My accountant just told me I need the cost basis of every zap I've ever received "as a gift" so if ya'll wouldn't mind passing along that info, that'd be great. Lol...jk. The IRS is cooked.

They are an extortion enterprise. They don't have a real reason for why you should pay them, or a real amount that you owe. They just want to take as much of your value as they can.

Lost my zaps in a boating accident.

The IRS can suck a dic🤬

Zaps are literally gifts

That is correct and technically when receiving assets as gifts, the recipient must know the gift's cost basis and report any gains if sold or spent in the future. It's a joke though...because that shit ain't never gonna happen.

Yeah if they had to track every single transaction from everyone in the US with every form of payment they would never be able to catch up ...

No tax on likes 🌝

Tell him GFY

😆

I hope this will improve under Trump. I always feel sorry for people who are taxed by the US government.

I believe it was even nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe that said on podcast a couple years back, “screw it, the irs can deal with it” when referring to buying a cup of coffee w sats. That was before nostr had any traction, making it that much more beautifully complicated.

Here’s some more for you to track for 2025. We’ll have to ask nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l for the cost basis though🤣

😂

The IRS can't even keep up with it's prior initiatives. This will be the year it effectively spirals into failure in the eyes of the public.

Just zapped you some really expensive sats. You can write that off as a massive loss if you zap them to someone else.

😂😂

I don’t know why my zap isn’t showing up.

I can see them.

Alright good to know I thought something was wrong on my end. Thanks 👍

What are zaps?

Cost base deez 🥜

What zaps I thought it was a pet rock

Sounds like you got some work to do 😂

Did you know that there are no laws on the books that require a US citizen working in the US to file federal income tax?

Yeah, they need to go get a real job to see what life is really like for the rest of us.

I just have multiple npubs /nyms that I zap back and forth
