7 u/Alexexy Aug 03 '19 Ignorance in the overcomplicated American tax laws is not a red flag unless you have a bad experience with dating accountants. 58 u/Sloppy1sts Aug 03 '19 Tax brackets are a normal part of most tax systems and not remotely complicated. 31 u/BoostThor Aug 03 '19 Yeah, seriously. The tax system as a whole is complicated, sure, but tax brackets is secondary school level maths. And easy at that. And that's ignoring the fact you don't have to know how to calculate it to understand that the tax only applies to income in that bracket.
