do you guys have electronic filing or? lots of talk about numbered forms here. I do remember having to send a form to the IRS when I was in the US to declare I had nothing to be taxed but no other experience with it.
Here we all file this crap electronically, even in the 90's you'd just download their Win95 application and send over a diskette lol. Bonus points for having a simplified declaration which kinda puts you in a bad spot if you own property, but since I don't I actually don't spend much time with this AND earn a greater return on taxes from all the excess paid during the year. I always file like a week after opening so I can receive $$$ from the feds in the first batch. Would be cool if I didn't know I was paying taxes through the ass on everything regardless.
Yup, I electronically file all the time. Still time consuming, but, easier, as they do a pretty good job of explaining things and suggest deductions that might not occur to you otherwise. I used FreeTaxUSA this year, TurboTax last year, and H&R Block the year before that. I started with TurboTax again this year, but, they wouldn't let me add ANY misc. income without upgrading to a paid package, which is bullshit, so, I quit and went with FreeTaxUSA instead, which turned out to be a better and easier to use site IMO anyway.
