They teach you how to get a job in school.
You buy a house like you would buy anything else.
Taxes are included in almost every purchase and if you didn’t pay any sort of taxes the government will let you know.
Citation needed. Nowhere in my HS education was there info on how to apply to jobs. I learned what I did watching fucking TV. especially with how the job market had changed. College didn’t even really teach us this.
You buy a house like you would buy anything else.
What class teaches how a mortgage works and other common financial questions? Home Ec didn’t. Pre-Calc didn’t. They may teach you how interest works, but nothing about how that applies.

Taxes are included without action on the customers part. You literally need to know nothing about it, just pay the surcharge. Income taxes and deductions are entirely different and not taught. It’s why bullshit like Turbo Tax exists. Other countries (from US perspective) don’t have to bother with this. And in the US, government will absolutely NOT tell you that you didn’t pay taxes. Generally it’ll be years before they bother because not everyone needs to file. And then they won’t “tell” you, they’ll charge you back taxes or tax fraud and you’ll owe thousands in penalties or go to jail.
It’s not that hard cmon.
Turbo Tax wouldn’t exist if it was easy-peasy. This meme wouldn’t exist if this stuff was self-evident or as simple as you want to make out.
It is easy though. The tax form itself tells you how to fill it out. Tax software exists because of digitization and sales tactics of the late 80s and early 90s. Why would you do taxes on stinky paper when you could do your taxes ON THIS $3000 COMPUTER WITH AN 8086! Like, okay, you don’t have to “know” how to do taxes anymore, now you need to learn this software instead.
