Like I know I shouldn’t, the process of US tax filing is silly and unnecessary, etc.
but I feel so responsible!!! I do them as early as I can, like as each document I need becomes available. Shit rules
It’s especially “based” that for most of us the government has all this information already, yet requires us to resubmit it using paid software because they lobby Congress to prevent automatic filing 😎
I’m on the freetaxusa train which does free federal and I think my state with be free as well (if not it’s like $15)
Also have used FreeTaxUSA for a few years. Dont waste your time with turbotax
I don’t qualify for it lol because of course it’s means tested 🙄
One year I was like fuck it I will do it with the free filing solution which is basically just a spreadsheet where you have to fill in all the cells, but you still have to do the worksheets and everything. It took me all weekend 😂
Freetaxusa is always free for federal, they’re just also under the Free File program that would make them offer it for free under the threshold if it wasn’t already. Might be out of luck for the $15.99 for state though :/
And yeah the manual filing seems fucked
Oh good to know. Will look into it thx
🙂👍
I FUCKING LOVE GIVING INTUIT MORE MONEYbeen using taxhawk for the past 10 years or so to avoid giving Intuit anything
Taxhawk tuah and itemize on that thang
:heaxbear-gold: to you
The IRS even developed the very solution and congress got bribed to snuff it.
We live in hell, but look into Cash App Taxes. They let you do federal and one state for free
but i wanted to be bureaucrat after revolution
get in and learn musical notation
I do them as early as I can, like as each document I need becomes available.
I’m the same, even logging into shit to get papers early like a nerd. I also keep the household budget, so I get to feel all smart having certain numbers at hand (childcare expenses, car taxes, etc) after busting my ass to track stuff throughout the year.
As much as I hate lending money interest free to
, it’s nice to get the money I’ve been overpaying back, too(it’s at least better than having another surprise bill lol).yes yes yes!! we’re just a different kind of beast 😎
Sending a big check to the government with “NOT FOR WAR” in the memo line
I know a guy on the inside. He says mine is going straight to the ballroom, trust
I’m gonna get a real tax person for the first time this year, since I just got my wife to the US and I’m a bit unsure if it’s going to complicate things that she’s not a citizen and how marriage changes things. Not looking forward to it
Yeah if you don’t have a “normal” tax situation one of the more built out softwares or a CPA is probably worth it. Last year I had a partial advance premium tax credit from marketplace health that was annoying to calculate, but I figured it out eventually
Filing at the Last Possible Moment Because I Want the Pitiful $400 Basic Rebate for Pretending I Have Anything Worth Taxing Even Though I Have a Full-Time Job Gang
I’m bad at doing the tax deduction thing right so I always get a big return so I do it asap.
Due to some absolutely ridiculous circumstances last year I have to have an accountant do my taxes this season. Literally incomprehensible how I would do it myself. It doesn’t need to be this way but here we are
I’m super irresponsible about doing my taxes since I’ve never made enough money to actually reach the taxable threshold. So I usually wait until the last minute and sometimes later than that. It probably fucks me to do it that way but I’m broke anyway so whatevs
im the same way. i have mostly worked for employers that generally take most of january (up to the 31st) to distribute w-2s. but generally by the end if the first week in january i have a folder for the previous year and have begun generating/aggregating documents.
myself and my stepfather are the ones like this.
i had some untaxed income this year so i think im gonna owe for the first time in a long time. i guess the upside is that i got the tax free loan this time.
