As tensions escalate between California and the Trump administration over immigration, another potential battlefront is emerging over taxes.

The spat began with reports that the Trump administration is considering cutting funding for California's university system, the largest higher education system in the nation with about 12% of all U.S. enrolled students.

In response, Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote Friday afternoon in a social media post that California provides about $80 billion more in taxes to the federal government than it receives in return.

"Maybe it's time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump," Newsom said.

I switched from W2 to 1099 at some jobs and am not paying quarterly (or when I file).

For the remaining W2 jobs, I set my allowances to something like 20 so I'm paying as little as possible.

The first year I did this, I filed for a cheap monthly payment plan to make it up. Since then...it just keeps racking up. They'll never get it all.
