I did it. While looking for my checks (lol) found the healthcare marketplace stuff. This would be easier if I was at all organized but that's never been my strong suit.

If I was a rapper I would make some kind of boast about how my taxes are complicated and I need to hire professionals to do them for me. And somehow I also get a return.

Taxes aren't that complicated for most people and they act like they're complicated because they struggled through middle school math and/or can't read forms

I follow the instructions and put the numbers in the labeled box for all my foreign investments into the computer.

It's not hard. The bank sends a form that tells me what to enter.

Foreign Bank Holding is a whole other schedule which TurboTax charges like 100 bucks for.

I did my taxes when I got them, and they were both pretty easy, but one of them got sent to my old house or got lost in the mail or something so I had to bug the HR lady to print it out. I unceremoniously quit that job on the spot so it was kind of awkward.

I filed mine in January. I was itching to file to get that sweet tax credit for replacing my gas furnace with an efficient heat pump. Stacked both the fed and state credits... not counting the city and power company rebates. :cool:

I've paid several professionals in math fields to do things for me by drawing erotica for them, because I have a drawing brain and not a mathing brain. This is not a joke.

I've drawn niches so specific that even the best ai prompts could never replicate it. It's great. People do nice things for you when you can draw the tiddy good.

The IRS launched IRS Direct File this year where you can file your taxes for free directly through the IRS.

It's only available in 12 states this year though.

- Arizona
- California
- Florida
- Massachusetts
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- New York
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Washington state
- Wyoming

Hopefully they will expand it to all states next year and I'll never have to use TurboTax again.

I used this today, it seemed to go pretty well.

i wish it were that simple for the foreign tax credit, but brokerages never seem to provide the exact values needed by form 1116. i have to manually compute them using the foreign source income percentage reported for each account in the consolidated 1099.

Yes, but did you properly report the fair market value of the tax preparation less your titty drawing expenses as income on your taxes?

I will count myself lucky that my bank/brokerage actually gets it right then. I had no idea it was such a pain usually.

I hate turbo tax but importing data makes everything pretty easy nowadays.

This was the end of me doing taxes. Instructions were box 12 code P for foreign tax withheld or whatever and it did not line up with the software. Of course it’s true some folks can’t follow instructions.

It doesn't help when it's asks for information I'm pretty sure is not in the documents my bank gives me. Something about investments that are taxed by state but not federally and it asking which state. I look at the document and am like uhhhhhh I don't see it. I assume it's talking about the state I live in, but maybe not *shrugs*. The fun part is I don't really care if I'm paying more taxes than I should. Sure like if it's thousands I'd like to not pay that but if I'm paying the 5 bucks more that any one question is probably going to potentially save me? Yeah just tell me that before I spend time trying to figuring it out/ going ehhhhh this is probably right.

Well that was a fine tax season. My state taxes ended up costing almost what Inshuit cost, so I'm glad I'm supporting the free market so well, it makes me happy, I'm laughing, loving laughing at how happy I am to pay some software developers and their management to fill out a form that they just say hey IRS how much you think he got, and how much he paid? Yeah nothing else, ok I'll tell them yeah they got the right information. That costs $120.
