In Germany, you don't have to file at all, unless you owe them money. So poor people tend to not file and the government keeps their refund. Clever.

I have to file in the USA and Germany, which is a big PITA. Sat down to do so for the third time, yesterday, and ended up posting pictures of women in carriages and joking about dragonslaying, instead.

But I cannot escape it, forever.
