Some people fill out Turbotax and do a "preview" thing before submitting it and then just use what TurboTax did as a guide for what to fill out where on the tax forms. Then they just file it themselves. I haven't done it cuz I"m lazy but I've read others say that it works.
I live in PA but work in NJ. However, the two states have an agreement that allows me to file my taxes as if I worked in PA. So in TurboTax I actually select that I do not work in a different state.
If it's neighboring states there's usually some sort of similar agreement. TurboTax usually points this out, and their FAQ section was actually pretty helpful for the handful of questions I had.
good to know! SD and MN are neighbors, so hopefully there's something like that. I'll have to research it later...
My ex worked in all different states, and you used to just file in the state that you live in. A few years ago, they made a revision that you had to pay state taxes in the state that you currently live in. I am sure that there are a few exemptions to that rule, but I would definitely look into that. Also, as long as you get money back, that April 15th deadline doesn't apply to you. 0 x whatever% is still 0, but you can only back file for up to three years (not including the current year you are filing for). If you owe, you are fucked unless you requested an extension.
This marks my most hated day on inforoo ever. "Oh hey, you wanna read what is usually the funniest thread on the entire forum to get a break from your exhausting day of work/errands? Well, here's a bunch of pages about filing taxes instead of the usual hilarious chaos. Yep... Fuck you Forrest." ^^^What the random thoughts 7 thread said to me today

I trust/rely on Inforoo member's opinion for lots of things but reaching out to this cast of characters for tax advice late in the afternoon on Tax Day is not one of them.

Once again, I will state. MY taxes have been done since February. Just sayin...

Same. Right out of college I did my taxes by hand and realized that shit is pretty simple. Now I do my taxes within a week of getting my necessary forms and Turbo Tax takes a 20-45 minutes, its not rocket science. Looking at it realistically... most people starting their adult life after high school/college are looking at doing taxes for the next 40-70 years. Might as well learn how to do it instead of freaking out and complaining.
But see, I've been doing my taxes since I was 18. I know how to do them, and am pretty comfortable with the process. This however does not keep me from waiting until the last minute and then complaining about it though.
If your itemized deductions (all listed on schedule A: medical expenses, mortgage interest, state and property taxes, donations, etc.) are greater than $10,150 - it pays to do the regular 1040 over 1040ez. You cannot use the 1040ez if you recieve passive income through partnerships or corporations, farm income, receive more than $10,000 in interest from investments...and lots of other reasons.
If you own a home with debt against it, it is probably worth the extra work to fill out the longer 1040. The interest, property taxes ans state taxes alone would get you close to the $10,150 cut off.
Not a tax professional. I just look at them all the time.
I own a home with a mortgage and I was not anywhere even remotely close to the standard deduction. But we also don't have a state income tax, so maybe that would have put me closer.
Yeah, my state taxes equate to a little less than half of what my federal taxes were.
Random example:
$2500 - state income taxes $7500 - interest portion of mortgage ($160,000 @ 4.5%) $2500 - property taxes
Medical & charitable are gravy.
If you live without state income tax, in a more rural area with lower property taxes or have little to nothing on a mortgage, standard deduction is the way to go.

I already told you. I don't want to talk about that.

So, for at least my entire adult life I've had this one hair that grows darker than the rest on my arm. It's right past my elbow on my forearm. I always grab it with my nails and pick it and it always grows back. It's really noticeable to me. It came back today and I only noticed after my arm was feeling all itchy.

Thanks! Hopefully it paid the Deluxe off. I did claim a few hundred in charitable donations and a few hundred more in unreimbursed work expenses, but that's it. No mortage, no medical expense, not a student, no kids... Nothing else on my form besides my W-2s (2 instate) and a few hundred dollars in 1099s.
its the 1099's that do it. all my side money is on 1099s and turbo tax makes you upgrade to file those.

For the longest time, I had one random hair on my forearm that would grow way longer than the other ones, like an inch or two longer. I'd pluck it and it would grow back like that. I haven't noticed it in a while, though, so I guess it finally gave up.

I also have one hair that grows different in top of my elbow area! Too weird.

I've now found myself coming home daily as quickly as possible to watch the next episode of third rock from the sun. Three seasons in now. Netflix makes me feel really cheap sometimes but I kind of lIke it?
yeah dude. it was not cool. and totally inappropriate and extremely uncomfortable. it ruined the show for me.
and just because I'm friendly and will have a conversation with you, it doesn't mean I want your hands all over me. gah.
Not downplaing any issue here.
But i totally had a female grab my ass at RxBandits the other night. I was thrown the efff off
I had a lady grab my ass at a metal show in college. It was really confusing more than anything else. I know it gets real bad for ladies at the club because of guys getting handsy.

I was at a show where a young lady behind me kept slapping my butt, then hips. Over and over. Asked her to stop.
Later, after I grabbed her boyfriend's wrist - which was attached to his hand in my left front pocket, I realized she was just checking to see where my wallet was. Bouncer next to him ejected his thieving self. Butt Slapper ghosted.
Another time a grown ass woman tried to climb me. No sh!t, she put her foot in my pants pocket and hoisted herself up on my shoulders.
I forgot how sad the movie The Pursuit of Happyness is. This movie gets me like few other do. I'm not sure why I'm watching it or why I love it so much, but it's a good one. Homelessness is just one of those topics that I think really cuts deep for me for some reason. Even in real life, homelessness is something that is very upsetting to me and really bothers me.
Ugh. I've been super emotional the past two days. Sorry guys.

I had a middle aged woman do that to me when I was like 16... And it wasn't a quick thing, she got a handful and made sure she got friendly enough to remember it for a long time after. It was weird but funny
I'm simultaneously super excited that I got tix to both fare thee well shows in CA, and mortified that I only requested one ticket for each night. I honestly have no idea what i was thinking when i put in my request. Even though my wife hates all "that noodly stuff." (Too much phish too early in the relationship, I think) I knew I was in deep shiz when I stopped squealing like a girl long enough to hear her say "wait, you got 2 tickets but only one each night?"
