if it was simple, how would the tax lawyers be able to find all the loopholes and thus save the rich money
I owed $700 even on my modest salary. It's ridiculous.
I love private messages, visitor messages, etc.
The terror of paying taxes almost makes me wanna live in the woods, but even then the IRS would probably find a way to tax the tree I live in
What do you guys have to do. Here mine is taken out every two weeks and as I'm a student working only the weekend its about €5 a fortnight.

Well, we do have several taxes that we have to pay - the joys of living in the USA.
We have city tax (depending on where you live and work). I work in an area that has no tax, so all of the money goes to my city. If I did work in a tax area, the work area would be first and my city gets what's left.
Then, there is state tax...the money is already taken out of my paycheck so when I file, The Federal final total is taken and what I actually gave is compared to a standard payscale list. This year, Ohio took too much money from my paychecks in 2012, so I get back the overage.
Federal tax...same deal. It's taken out of my paycheck as well.....only with Federal, there are adjustments -
I have to add savings account interest, IRA interest, 401K deductions, etc.
I can subtract things from it - charity/church donations, mortgage interest paid throughout the year.
A similar comparison is made and we get a refund for any overage or make a payment if we are short. The City makes it difficult because I apparently sent in a $980 check thinking it was 2012, but it was actually 2013 and got penalized for not making enough of a payment for 2012. That's why I had to stop by the office and talk to them - It is a two page form but makes no sense!
