Last weekend, while attending Lexington, KY’s Southland Christian Church, I received an invitation to attend a “Poor Man’s After-Tax Dinner.” Located on a 115-acre plot that occupies a stretch of the rapidly disappearing farmland between Lexington and Jessamine County, Southland will host the gala, which includes a catered meal and a performance by the Dale Adams Band. On the church’s website, an announcement for the event asks, “Did you have to pay when you filed taxes? This month’s Gathering is designed to help you to forget your IRS woes.”[1] The After-Tax Dinner will minister to those still reeling from the April 15th deadline, and, with any luck, it will foster solidarity among Southland’s flock, the majority of whom are members of the tax bracket whose wallets ache most severely after just having rendered unto Caesar the money that belongs to him.
1. What is the difference between a. and a. Late Payments: People do not realize that their payment history can significantly affect their credit score. Every bank or lender provides a due date for making a payment, but they also provide a grace period before which the late fees are levied. This is where people make mistakes. It may seem beneficial at first that you did not have to pay the full amount, but credit score algorithms count it as a negative item and decrease your score significantly.
Eligibility for the forgiveness: President Obama has announced for this program a while ago. The eligible persons for this program will be the students working under the government for the last 10 years. In the middle of this time, you need to repay at least 120 payments.

The United States tax system is in complete disarray. Republicans and Democrats agree that the current tax code is complex, unfair, and costly. The income tax system is so complex; the IRS publishes 480 tax forms and 280 forms to explain the 480 forms (Armey 1). The main reason the tax system is so complex is because of the special preferences such as deductions and tax credits. Complexity in the current tax system forces Americans to spend 5.4 billion hours complying with the tax code, which is more time than it takes to manufacture every car, truck and van produced in the United States (Armey 1). Time is not the only thing that is lost with the current tax system; Americans also lose great deal of money complying with the tax code. Resources that are currently wasted on record keeping, filing forms, learning the tax code, litigation, and tax avoidance. The cost of complying with the current tax code totals about $200 billion annually, or $700 for every man, woman, and child in America (Armey 1). The overwhelming consensus that the current tax system is inadequate has ignited the search for tax reform. There are numerous proposals for tax reform; one particular proposal brought forth by various conservatives is the idea of national flat rate income tax. The idea is to replace the current income tax with a single rate that everyone pays.
"The Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003" will also boost the child tax credit. "Altogether, 34 million families with children, including 6 million single moms, will receive an average tax cut of $1,549 per year" (Bush). With the new tax credits a married couple with two children and an income of 30 thousand will receive a $955 tax credit. A single parent with one child and the same income will be credited $400. Families with higher incomes will acquire even higher tax deductions (Benedetto). Although this credit will help millions of families, some Congressional officials aver millions of minimum wage and slightly above minimum wage families will not receive the tax credit.
Protects the taxpayer during hard times, when income is reduced, the tax rate also become shifts to a lower bracket.

This debt accounts for six percent of our nation’s $16.7 trillion debt (Denhart). Since student loan debt is such a big part of the national debt, if the student defaults on their loan then the United States taxpayer has to carry the burden of the loan (Denhart). Students who are graduating with debt do have a couple of different options that they can choose from. There is a six-month grace period after graduation to allow the student time to find a job and programs to try to help eliminate debt. “The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimates that one-fourth of the American workforce may be eligible for repayment or loan forgiveness programs” (Atteberry, N.P.).
...sehold income minus the first $10,150 for a single person or $20,300 for a married couple who file jointly. (Young, 2014). There are however, limits to how much anyone could ever pay. The penalty is capped at the national average annual price for a "bronze" health insurance plan on the Obamacare exchanges which is the lowest-level plan available. The IRS has yet to calculate what this amount will account to, but the Tax Policy Center estimates that it will be $3,600 for a single person and $11,000 for a family of four (Young, 2014).
