I used H&R block and they let you take your tax refund in Amazon gift cards. Obviously I opted into that program so that I can help JeffyB hit 21 billion. Anyway what should I buy with my 600 dollars in amazon dollars?

Oh also this is the first year I reported buying things that I didn't pay sales tax on, and that added like $200 onto my owed taxes, but who cares I don't want to get audited. Not sure if anyone ever got caught for leaving that as zero dollars.

Use this thread for itemizing your deductions.

I still mail paper forms because the IRS says that isn't my wife's SSN and the SSA says yes it is. E-file just gets rejected.

I would use a tax professional except I feel like they'd ask me a bunch of questions and I'd look like an idiot when I didn't remember if I pay for natural gas or not, or like when they realize I have absolutely no records of anything.

fun note about this - giving them your bank details allows them to unilaterally pull all money out of the account in the event of a lien or an error of any kind, with no additional authorization or notification, and they're also pre-authorized to share those numbers to all other agencies. but don't worry the govt never makes mistakes

also if you got money back you hosed your deductions son, do better and don't give the govt a free loan

eh after a year or so they start sending packets with 'just tell us what changed' forms and you get better. theyve seen worse so dont feel too bad about being uninitiated into forms documentation :shobon:

im gonna use a business since stocks and poo poo is annoying and every year i glower at my software results with uncertainty and thats no fun

also this is a good reminder to adjust your contributions. i never do and always over contribute then get it back later and id rather get my :10bux: regularly and not in a return a year after

in norway (and i guess other civilized countries), the tax forms is delivered out digitally and pre-filled with everything the government knows about you. most of the time you don't have to do anything to them, they are considered as filed if you don't do anything by the due date.
