Twitter users shared last minute tax advice, grief, and relief at the impending deadline of the 2015 tax day. Hashtags #taxday and #taxday2015 trended as users tweeted articles about things they didn’t know about tax day, resuscitated scandals and read about reality checks. Tweets using #taxday included photos of dollar bills, dead sheep (no making that up), kittens (“let’s spend spend our refund on treats”), bar graphs, statistics, condoms, and baby monkeys. Pretty freaking random for a day that's pretty much about pens, paper, and pixels.

Almost as random were the shouting matches that channelled paperwork angst into political fury. “Get those damn immigrants to pay taxes,” argued some. “They already do -- and more than their fair share,” argued others. Don’t let my taxes fund wars! Don’t let my taxes fund abortions! You get the gist. We combed through hundreds of tweets on a dozen topics to find you the most interesting and absurd ones. Had enough politics? Skip to the end, where we’ve posted some funny tax tweets.
