For the record, now in Spain we use the acronym:

IRPF
(Impuesto de la Renta sobre las Personas Físicas / Impost de la Renda sobre les Persones Físiques)

I must do my taxes and I'm scared of them... I'm likely to pay a LOT to Mr. Solbes!

This was an ugly year for me. One of the companies I hold stock in went private, so I was essentially forced to sell (and pay tax on!) a substantial amount of shares. My total bill (Federal and State) ended up being around $600 (€375).

On the bright side, I only had one employer for the year. Good luck getting your withholdings sorted!

Dear Mr. Pain [e] You forgot "death."

[muckefuck.livejournal.com]

I didn't forget it; I already know the word for "death" in all these languages.

IRPF saved my ass this year. My foreign tax credit completely wiped out my Stateside originating income taxes. I even have a carry-over for next year. Thank you "W".

Impressive. Of course, I prefer the Latin, Simpsons'-style: "Moris. Ye die."

An old friend of mine (who we will be known for obscure reasons as "Gorgeous Girl") once dressed as Death for a Halloween party, where she was accosted by a macker who asked, "Do you speak French?" She did, and despite being pitifully outclassed, he attempted to as well. Apparently, he had so much trouble understanding the answer of "La Mort" to his question about her costume that she was forced to explain, "Death, as in "to die"!"

Oh, do you have to pay taxes in Spain as well?

Just noticed: there shouldn't be a circumflex on the w in incwm (6). Tis a short vowel.

Taxes in Spain

Spain is one of about 20 countries that has a tax treaty with the US. Essentially it means that one is not double-taxed. My IRPF taxes comes from savings at "la Caixa", which is treated as foreign tax in the US. I have capital gains and dividends of some foreign investments (mutual funds) that also result in foreign taxes being paid.

Chuck, not poorer for US taxes this year
