Okay, thank you.
Thanks for the link. No matter what I end up going with, I'll definitely want to double check the numbers with another service.

Is there an easier way to do LLC taxes online than TaxAct? Their UI is atrocious. I know TurboTax has it but it's only on the standalone version of the software
Or do I have to go back to the 90's and hire someone who uses paper and pens

Not looking forward to it this year. There was an error on my 2014 filing where TurboTax didn't transfer over one of the W2's to my state return. Got audited the end of last year and owe $4k which my ex is refusing to pay half of. I've paid them about half so far, but still have a ways to go.
I usually break even owing Federal and getting that plus a little extra from State, but I'm pretty sure State is going to take everything I'm owed and claim it for the 2014 balance and I'll end up owing the normal $2k to Federal.

I think H&R Block software lets you do it, but you have to get the more expensive tier of service to do it online
I just got a new job, so I lost access to the digital W2 which was probably going to be ready any day now.
Now I'll have to wait for the mail which will probably take forever.
I also had a new job early last year, so I've got at least 3 W2s to fill in (1 from old job, 1 from when my new job was still contract-to-hire, and 1 from the job once I got fully hired).
Should have a sizable refund coming so the wait for the paperwork is pretty glacial.

Probably not going to get anything this year.
However, it's fine, since that means I had more money per month throughout the year.

Just got my W-2 from my employer and looks like I should get in the 1300-1500 range back. I just need some more info from some of my brokerages to put in. Mine are super straight forward this year because I don't have any Uber/AirBnb money to account for and I don't have to worry about state income tax in Florida.
Just finished mine. I used FreeTaxUSA and highly recommend it. Filing federal taxes through there is free, and my state taxes only cost $13.
Anyway, I got back $2600. I'm saving a token $100 of that to spend on myself for tax return Christmas, but unfortunately I have a neglected emergency fund and student loans to eat up the rest of it.

I got a W2 from a job I was only at for a week. The paycheck was less than $200 after tax. Should I even bother reporting this?
Only one employer has sent their W2. 3 other companies between my wife and I are taking their sweet time.
This is my hell year. I worked for 3 different companies last year. I also have to wait a 3922 to come in for some final ESPP sales I did. Going to be a fun year in TurboTax for sure.
I've been just taking mine to H&R Block for a number of years. Paying for the convenience. But my taxes aren't really that complicated, and it feels like a lot of money for <30 minutes of someone's time. And I think last year the price went up again. So this year I ordered their software, $20 on sale, state included. Will see how it goes.
I ended up deciding to give FreeTaxUSA a try. Used TurboTax to compare the amount but didn't file with them

When in doubt always report. this is the kind of thing that brings down mobsters. The IRS knows no mercy.
Initially I did the return on TurboTax but something with my HSA was preventing me from filing with them for free. Ended up doing it again on Credit Karma and came to the same amounts for both Fed and State, so I just filed with them instead.
I'm ending up getting back 1,650.

Yeah I ran into this on Friday, apparently they expect an update on the 14th?
Annoying!
Just filed mine - very simple as I kept the same job and don't really own or have anything (lol). Refund amount is a little higher than my rent, so happy about that.
My tax documents usually aren't available until sometime February. Last year when I tried getting a leg up without them, some wrong values made it look like I owed hundreds of dollars. I will wait for the tax documents to be safe.
So do all Americans do their own taxes (or pay an accountant to do them etc)? I've never really bothered to look into it past the stuff you might see on US TV. Very glad I don't have to touch any of that living in the UK.
Yes. You are responsible for filing every year that you earn taxable income (either in wages, taxable withdrawals, prizes and winnings, etc). Making under a certain amount typically allows you to qualify for free filing, but you still have to go through the process of gathering the details and reporting to the government. Failing to file means you will not receive any payment due, and any owed amount will go into penalty phase and begin to accrue interest.
Fucking Trump and these stupid tax laws. House, child, daycare, student loans, had more money taken out for taxes, and I still owe money until I send in my bill of sale for my solar panels. But all that is going towards paying the panels off.
Got my W2 last week and finished it right away. Earliest I've ever done it. Getting close to 5k back. Less then last year but I increased my exemptions so I was curious how much it would drop
Hell yeah love doing my taxes, it's second Christmas, except I get to spend all that return on myself.
I got my W-2's on Friday so I can start on them this week. Doing some rough pen and paper calculations, u think I might actually have a fairly sizeable refund. I normally try and get it to exactly zero, but I got promoted last year and forgot to change my withholdings for the new salary until mid way through the year. I think I increased the withholdings by too much as an over correction. Oh well, at least I'll be able to use it on the renovations I'll need to do to my condo before I put it on the market to get sold before I get married in May!
Filed mine on the 14th, checked and its set to be deposited by wednesday, fast turnaround this year.
I'm also scheduled to receive it by Wednesday. I really didn't expect them to be scheduled so early. Thought it would take longer to process and expect it maybe the week or February 2
Started running the numbers this morning through Turbo Tax. With my W2 I was set to get back close to $2k total, once I added my wife's that dropped to owning $220 to the feds and getting around $900 back from the state.
Filed mine last week and both federal and state have already been approved. Because of a budget surplus in OR I'll be getting a combined 1500 back, which was very nice to see. A bunch of it will go to a new bike.
nvm. just got it today. getting back $100 more than last year.
Are there any sites that allow for free filings with an HSA (form 8889)? HRBlock requires you to upgrade to deluxe.
