Social Did you do your taxes this year?

[Jack Reacheround]

I used to be a last minute April guy myself when I was younger..

The older I got the more it just became, fuck it and get it over with.

The old lady and I now just file whenever we receive our W2s and forget about it.. goes straight into the mortgage anyways so we could care less.

I have to do them in April because I have to save money for taxes.

I just finished mine using Turbotax. It used to be free, this time I had to pay 80 bucks. Not sure if there really is a free version anymore and I gotta go look for it, but they're making it harder and harder every year. Always trying to sell you some service.

I caught one at the end. They tried to make it seem like I neede to pay another 40 dollars to E-file, but I caught it. It was to get the refund 5 days early.

I dont really have anything else other than my W-2. I wasn't gonna wait for the house tax 1099 or sometrhing form from the mail. I dont tihnk that changes anything anyway. There's not much to doing my taxes, I wish it was free like before.

It's free as long as your return is relatively simple. If you do itemized deductions instead of the standard deduction or have certain other types of income, you have to pay.

Every year, they make it harder and harder to do it free. The last 2 years, I had to pay because they "hide" the free version so well during the process. I managed to catch one towars the end.

I'll look these guys up next year

Not yet but I did find out the no tax on overtime thing is a bit disappointing. I didn't realize it was only the half part of time and a half so I only got a little over 3k tax free.

So if there is no tax on overtime or part of the time and a half, as well as on tips from what I have heard, doesn't that mean you are paying less into Social Security? If so, I'm not sure how I'd feel about that.

I'm fine with it since I put in way more than I will ever get out of SS

I was self-employed and always had to buy the TurboTax Home & Business version ($120). I sold out quite a few years ago and the last time I did taxes was about 7 years ago, I realized it was pointless because I didn't have to pay anything and wasn't getting a refund so I stopped during covid because that felt like a good excuse.

I haven't bothered filing them since then either. I get 1099's and other forms every year from investment accounts and shit but I rarely cash much out so there are very little realized gains.

If it comes back to bite me in 10 years when the IRS decides to audit me and because I didn't pay the capital gains on a $5,000 stock cash withdrawal or the taxes on a $4,000 video poker jackpot I hit in Vegas (casino fuckers to make SSN) they want me to pay a million dollar tax bill because of fees and interest, then I'll flee the country and live my best life in Vietnam or some place.

 

[Vatoloco]

doesn't that mean you are paying less into Social Security?

Yep. It'll be good in the short-term but bad in the long term. That assumes that social security won't go insolvent which, without changes, will happen in ~2033. Zero chance they'll let that happen though. They'll start taking more than 7.5% (15% total) out of paychecks, raise the retirement age or probably just add the payouts to the mountain of national debt and hope GDP growth and inflation takes care of it.

I just watched a video about it a few days ago... I'll try and find it.

I collected most of my documents and tax organizer that I have to send to my accountant.

 

[ThaiSexPills]

I have an accountant.

I’m a salaried employee of a company (I own). And I owed $3200 this year somehow. Hopefully 2025 is better, I took more off for tax

 

[Shawn Archer]

Why do all these people get back a shitload on taxes and ive only ever gotten nil back. They fucking discriminate against single men

They like to give interest rate free loans to the government

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I haven’t done my taxes since 2021. I expect when my wife and I get around to doing 2022-2025 we’ll get like $50k+ back as we have ass loads of child care expenses to claim. Our son was also diagnosed as autistic so there’s a big tax credit for that as well.

Last time we did 2019-2021 all at once and we got $38k back.

Stopped using turbotax when they started charging. I use some website called freetaxusa or something like that now. Works the same.
