That was the highest-ever payment made to the U.S. government at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Buffett has never begrudgingly paid his taxes. Instead, he has long argued he doesn\u2019t pay enough taxes. Before Buffett took control of the company in 1965, he said Berkshire \u201cdid not pay a dime of income tax,\u201d which he called \u201can embarrassment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat sort of economic behavior may be understandable for glamorous startups, but it\u2019s a blinking yellow light when it happens at a venerable pillar of American industry,\u201d Buffett wrote in the shareholder letter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warren Buffett got his start as a paperboy<\/h2>\n<p>Buffett was born on Aug. 30, 1930, in Omaha, the only son of Howard and Leila Buffett (he has two sisters). His father, Howard, a stockbroker and eventual four-term U.S. congressman, helped foster Warren\u2019s fascination with business and markets. When Howard was elected to Congress, the family relocated to Washington, D.C., where a teenage Warren found work delivering newspapers.<\/p>\n<p>Buffett delivered both morning and afternoon editions of the <em>Washington Post<\/em> and the now-defunct <em>Washington Times-Herald<\/em>, working a route that ran past the homes of six senators and one Supreme Court justice, he told PBS.<\/p>\n<p>In 1944, he earned $364 from that route. Buffett, who had started investing at the ripe age of 11, also earned $228 in interest and dividends that year, having bought three shares of Cities Service Preferred stock. That brought his total income that year to $592.50.<\/p>\n<p>Under IRS rules at the time, any U.S. citizen, including a minor, who earned $500 or more was required to file a federal return, and he paid just $7 in taxes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The tax deductions of a 14-year-old Buffett<\/h2>\n<p>Just as any adult would do, Buffett made sure to write off his business expenses that year on his tax return. He attached a handwritten note documenting two business expenses: $10 for watch repair and $35 for miscellaneous bicycle costs. Buffett used both of these religiously on his morning paper route.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By deducting those costs, he lowered his taxable income like any seasoned entrepreneur or gig worker would, but he was only 14 years old at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have paid federal income tax every year since 1944,\u201d Buffett <a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/baltimore\/news\/warren-buffett-responds-to-donald-trumps-tax-comments\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/baltimore\/news\/warren-buffett-responds-to-donald-trumps-tax-comments\/\">said<\/a> in a 2016 statement responding to claims about his tax history. \u201cThough, being a slow starter, I owed only $7 in tax that year.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From paperboy to billionaire<\/h2>\n<p>The newspaper route was just one of several early ventures for Buffett.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px\">By the time he was 15, he had earned $2,000 from deliveries and <span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px\">spent $1,200 of it to purchase farmland in his home state of Nebraska,\u00a0<a aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/warren-buffett-earned-enough-money-181346033.html\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/warren-buffett-earned-enough-money-181346033.html\">according to<\/a>\u00a0his 2008 biography,\u00a0<em>The Snowball,<\/em>\u00a0by\u00a0<\/span>Alice Schroeder.<\/span> Buffett also reportedly had a profit-sharing agreement with the farmer.<\/p>\n<p>He and a friend later bought a used pinball machine for $25, placed it in a barbershop, and within months had machines running in three locations across Washington, D.C.
