This hurts so bad and I’m in a State with no state taxes

Same. I can't imagine having state taxes on top of the federal taxes. I'd have to just pass it on to my client by charging a higher rate.
Which is what everyone has to do. Taxes just make everything more expensive. And that extra money just gets squandered by the incompetent shmucks in the government. Fuck me 😠
Jay, who’s going to build those magnificent roads without the parasites in charge?
The people who would build the roads if it weren't for the government stopping them.
My gut feeling is that the government prevents the building and maintenance of more miles of road than it allows, despite the capital and motivation available in the market to build those roads.

this is the reason i believe self employment isnt remotely encouraged by public institutions excelt anecdotally. corpos get the employees, govos get the maximum amt of tax dollars upfront before the suckers get paid, only to have to complete their annual beg for refund form each year ( almost certainly via paid software).
What a scheme. Bravo tax man 👏
Fuck em.
there is a scene in boardwalk empire i remember to this day where the income tax was a recently enacted scheme in the time of the show ( prohibition era ) and in the show the main char is talking to the then Treasury Secretary that referred to it as the biggest fucking scam ever pulled on the american people. i was a liberal at the time when i saw it so was thrown aback by such a claim but it struck me then...i think its one of the things that stuck with me enoigh and kept my mind open a crack til bitcoin flooded in years later.
I used to have to pay 4 income taxes.
FOUR!

i used to be in a city / county with revenue based taxes ( not profit) on businesses. these fuckibg idiots man i cant believe the audacity to try that at thay jurisdictional level. i moved my mainly internet based business to a few feet over the line, save thousands a year. feel bad for the brick and mortars that cant leave, though the flight from that jurisdiction has been significant
Yeah, it's terrible.
