Anyone done their taxes either

[thinkingagain]

By E-file with a tax preparer
or on their own
Or any other way ( paper and mailed etc)

Wondering how it went
The plan for me is Sat with the lady that does my taxes and she files them electronically
We have a basic file

Just wondering if others if they did them
If they had run into any issues
Compared to last year for example
Inputting info, maybe even getting your refund back or not, paying if you owe etc

6. If your income was $64,000 or less,

VITA will do your taxes for free. They are affiliated with the IRS so no problems with returns.

They wanted me to be a volunteer but I chickened out.

Better hurry though before Musk cuts the funding, if he hasn't already.

The VITA people come to my small town's senior center.

7. I did mine on my own at a free site

I used FreeTaxUSA and got my refunds in less than two weeks.

8. Mine are too complicated to do on my own.

I have one accountant in Dallas coordinating with a German accountant in Düsseldorf. It takes them about six months to get everything together. I had to sign a waiver for the accountant in Dallas, because the things the Germans wanted to know broke about five US privacy laws, and the Dallas accountant would have lost their license if they had made the disclosures without my written consent. Any US refunds go toward next year’s taxes. The Germans refund when they think there is an error, but then they still want 50% of much of my income that has been already taxed at 39.6% (or whatever the rate is back there) in the USA. This dispute has been going on since 2012. I pay the accountants so that 106% of my time isn’t taken up with this. Fayah shayah, right.

9. I did ours today using Turbotax.

Ours were pretty easy this year. I e filed, why not Eloon already has all of our data anyway.

10. Filed with H&R Block

Used H&R the last 15 years, aways had a retun back in less than 2 weeks.

11. You haven't heard...no MAGA is paying taxes so as to help Trump cut government and their benefits.

12. H inputs it, but then saves it, since we always owe. Don't file until right before the April 15.

I don’t know which filing service he uses, only that he switched two years ago. He had a good reason but I forget what it was.

13. I did my taxes but I'm wondering if it will do any good.

President Musk is decimating the IRS and I am really wondering if I will even get my refund or not.

14. I'm still doing my taxes

I've used H&R Block for the last 10+ years. This year, they changed the format of their program and to me it's not as user friendly as last year's was. I've gotten through the income portion of the program and I'm do the rest of it tomorrow.

I know I'll be pay this year, again, because of my IRA RMD requirements plus the increase in dividends in my mutual fund (thank you President Biden). I was thinking, since President Musk and co-president Trump are in power I might put off paying my taxes until late March.

15. Completed with TurboTax. Refund pending.

No problems so far.
