Expect me to throw caution to the wind. It’s time to make it rain, as the kids say. Ahhh, no it’s going right into my savings account like I do every year. But still!

Mines going pay down the car loan & pay off some school debt. I hate being reasonable.

I’m not looking forward to it. Maybe I’ll do it next weekend. Last year, TaxAct gave me some great statistic about how I’m in the top 8% of most butt-raped americans by percentage. The tax professional advice to me? Stop living in California, you idiot.

As an aside: I don’t feel in the top 8% of Americans. Unless our top 8% also happen to live in areas with gun violence, have roommates, and eat tofu because it’s a cheaper protein than chicken.

What’s a “savings account”?

I didn’t make enough to get taxed this year.... so I am getting back my full return of 800$. Going straight towards my engine rebuild.

Glad to see I’m not the only square that puts returns into savings. Still need to do ours and worried that we might owe...

Did that new tax bill take effect immediately or is mortgage interest still a thing?

I’m not sure. It did tell my that my mortgage interest didn’t affect anything though because reasons. That said, my return was a little bit higher than last year.

Started. H&R block online says I’m going to owe 1900. Only 3 exemptions. What in the actual fuck.

Use Turbo Tax.

Is there really that big of a difference though?

I can’t say because I didn’t use themonline. What I will say is I used their in-office services where they took almost $400 for their “work” and I found out later they were not thorough... The interest on our student loans alone doubled our return that H&R Block had got us. In addition, we had other interest that we could claim. The TurboTax program cost 40 bucks and was exhaustive and got me fat returns (comparatively speaking).

Another vote for TurboTax. I’ve tried a few different programs and TT has been the best for me

NY refund $141, but then 2014 recalculation based on federal change meant I owe NY $147 ... so I’m six bucks down.

Same, I’ve been using TurboTax for years. It’s gotten much better, but it’s always been great for my refunds.

I second this. I used the H&R Block software five years ago. After cutting and pasting the text of three deductions I was eligible for that their “tax professionals” didn’t know about I switched to TurboTax and got a much larger refund.

Unfortunately, I don’t get all my paperwork until about a week before taxes are due, otherwise I’d try to be done them by now.

Spend 250 bucks and have a independent tax professional do your taxes, trust me it’s worth it. One time we forgot that my wife and I cashed in savings bonds for a down payment on our house and when the IRS audited us three years later we got a tax bill for 4,000 dollars. That was the last time my wife and I did our taxes ourselves.

I’m going to file twice this year, sort of. I’m going to use TurboTax or some online software and get them done in person at H&R. We shall see who is the victor.

You’ll regret the latter part of your plan, but I look forward to your findings nonetheless.

After a couple years of several hundred dollars return fees, I’m beginning to regret the latter part of my plan as well.

My wife did ours, heads up if you’re using TurboTax, at the very beginning they ask for your phone number. Make sure you enter it, otherwise you can’t efile. Getting $4700 back, which will be applied to my son’s student loans.

This is what I was thinking when I saw the block’s outcome. Might plug my stuff into turbo tax first and see what it says.

I hear that. My tax return is going straight to pay off my credit card. On the bright side that means I’ve paid off my credit cards.

Man, the car market from the Seattle area gives me a bad case of the must-haves. I like in STL, int the rust belt and the cheap nearly rust-free cars at low prices make me want to buy a one way plane ticket, find something on CL and bring it home with me...
