As a VIP at Harvard Airport, Su Zhen's car has been parked at the airport and is maintained by the airport, so Su Zhen did not notify anyone to pick up the airport, and Ruolan drove back directly.

"Wow, our big star is back" When Su Zhen returned to the ranch, he happened to meet Old John who was riding by, and the other party jokingly gave Su Zhen the title of big star, but no, during this time, Su Zhen frequently appeared in various entertainment magazines, and the exposure rate was higher than that of some film and television stars.

"Don't mention it, those reporters didn't give me any trouble, so it's better to be quiet in the ranch," Su Zhen said with a smile, "How is the situation in the ranch recently?" ”

"Very good" Referring to the situation of the ranch, Old John seemed very excited, "Now the daily slaughter rate of the ranch is very good, and the beef market this year is also very good, coupled with the high quality of our ranch beef, it has brought millions of income to the ranch every month, I believe that the loan can be paid off this year"

Su Zhen nodded when he heard this, although Su Zhen had the ability to pay off the loan in full before, but he didn't do that.

After chatting with Old John for a while, after introducing Wang Ruolan to him, Su Zhen took Wang Ruolan back to the residence, just approached the house, and the first to find Su Zhen was naturally the two Kyle brothers with the brightest eyes in the sky. And this eagle is different, especially the long hook-like beak, which is too intimidating, Su Zhen touched the two carved shiny feathers, it seems that Grace has served these two guys very well.

Just when Su Zhen was teasing the two eagles at the door of his house, there was a loud dog barking in the distance, Su Zhen knew that it was Ah Da's voice when he heard it, and he followed the prestige and saw a figure riding a horse, followed by Ah Da and Ah Er, who was not Grace?

"Sue, sure enough, you're back," Grace turned over and dismounted, smiling, "Seeing these two guys flying here suddenly, I guessed it was you." The two little bears saw Ah Da, and greeted thousands of affectionate people, Ah Da looked at the two guys who had followed him before, but now they were as big as themselves, these two guys grew up too fast, according to Uncle Wang, the food expenses of the two guys during that time in Los Angeles were more than the sum of all the people in the manor, they were simply a pot-bellied king, and this head naturally grew up.

"I haven't seen you for two months, Grace, you're getting more and more beautiful," Su Zhen laughed after introducing Ruolan to Grace.

Grace rolled her eyes angrily, and helped the two of them move their luggage into the house, the house was very clean, it seemed that during the time that Su Zhen was away, Grace helped clean it a lot.

With Grace's help, Su Zhen cleared a room for Ruolan, and then the three of them started cooking dinner together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the days that followed, Su Zhen returned to a quiet rural life, going to school every day, flirting with Lux, and when he wasn't going to school, he took a group of animals to the pasture to add some space to the ranch's water source. However, in good days, there will always be some things that are suitable for people, ~ such as paying taxes.

At that time in 97, because I had just arrived in the United States, and there was only investment and no income that year, so I didn't need to pay taxes, but the income of the whole year last year had to be paid, and before April 15 every year in the United States, all citizens in the United States had to file their own taxes, and if they did not report before this date, it would be regarded as tax evasion.

The IRS, officially known as the "Internal Revenue Service", is under the Treasury Department, and holds all the social security numbers and bank account numbers of all Americans in the United States, through which it can find out the exact income of each person, and all the tax bases of the local tax bureau also come from the IRS.

The IRS believes that every taxpayer should be honest, so every citizen must pay their own taxes, and once they have proof that you have evaded taxes, they will bite you like a bloodsucking worm.

However, Su Zhen is obviously not very good at tax declaration, in fact, he doesn't even know what taxes he has to pay, so he handed over all the tax declaration matters to his legal counsel Erica to deal with, but when Erica listed the taxes that Su Zhen had to pay and showed Su Zhen, Su Zhen was dumbfounded.

Su Zhen also knew that the United States is not a country with light taxes, but when he saw the list listed by Erica, where is this Nima not light, it is completely heavy, okay?

As the name suggests, the national tax duty is given to the federal government, and the state tax is given to the state government, and the tariff has little to do with Su Zhen, although the scale of his ranch is not small, but it has not yet reached the point of export. So he mainly needs to pay state taxes and national taxes.

Let's look at the national tax first, the most important thing in the national tax in the United States is naturally the personal income tax, because Su Zhen's profits last year reached more than 300 million US dollars because of the income from investment companies, the income from the release of the Matrix, the income from novels, the income from ranches, etc., and the fraction exceeded the maximum levy point of individual income tax, 35%, but in fact, only the income of novels needs to be paid according to this ratio, and the income from investment companies, ranches, and investment movies belongs to self-employment income (investment), This part of the tax is about 17% according to the maximum amount, far lower than some wage earners, which can be regarded as a kind of protection of the rich class by the US government, in fact, the main force of tax payment in the United States is not those billionaires, but the middle class who rely on wage income of tens to millions.

But even so, the individual income tax that Su Zhen needs to pay has reached an astonishing more than 70 million, and the corners of Su Zhen's mouth twitched.

In addition to individual income tax, there is also corporate income tax, that is, whether it is an investment company or a ranch company, according to the income of the year, you have to pay about 30% of the corporate income tax, and what is even more embarrassing is that after the corporate income tax is paid, it becomes a profit and has to pay the tax again after it is in the hands of Su Zhen.

Su Zhen now has a feeling that it was wrong to come to the United States in the first place, in his previous life, he still felt that the domestic tax was quite heavy, but now compared with Lao Mei, the domestic tax bureau is simply too cute.

Looking at the state tax, the main components of the state tax are property tax and individual income tax, the individual tax in Illinois is 3%, and the property tax refers to a series of movable property such as real estate, pastures, etc., which must be taxed. Su Zhenguang's ranch has to pay more than 100,000 taxes, and there are also Los Angeles estates, which also have to pay more than 100,000 yuan.

In addition, there are a lot of miscellaneous taxes of various names, no wonder later generations heard that the United States is a country of ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, Su Zhen was still a little puzzled at that time, and only after arriving in the United States did he realize it.

"Is there no way to avoid more taxes?" Su Zhen asked, the long list of zeros on the tax return made Su Zhen feel that he was cutting his flesh.

"I have sorted out all the parts that can reasonably avoid taxes, including the part that can get tax refunds, but there is really no way to do the rest" Erica replied, reasonable tax avoidance is a compulsory course for every lawyer and accountant, she is still very familiar with the road, but Su Zhen's income last year is really amazing, no matter how to avoid it, that number is still huge, of course, it does not mean that there is no way at all, at least Erica knows that there are still a few, but these ways are very risky, if they are discovered, That's definitely not worth the cost.

Su Zhen scratched his head, and finally reluctantly signed the tax return, he didn't have the courage to face up to the most NB department in the United States, the "Internal Revenue Service".
