Haven't figured it out yet, still waiting on some forms from the brokerage and my work stock plan.
It's not going to be pretty this year at all though.

Ours will probably be in the upper 20s. Scared to find out.

Just did mine.
Fed & State = 33% effective rate.
On top of this and the raping I took all year on the paycheck, I still owe the feds $29k and the state $7.8k.
I guess I need to throw money away at things like points on a new mortgage every year and 20% APR home loans and buy an electric vehicle every year if I don't want to give it to the .gov.
And, they want estimated taxes for next year too..

This is why I'll never actually be able to move to Europe (France). We'd need to nearly double our income to have about the same buying power.

Prices of cars, gas, property, food, etc are full on across the pond. @davestr can probably provide accurate account but when I went to Germany gas was close to $6/gal US

Not that I would actually make the move, but universal health care, very low crime, well-maintained infrastructure, good schools, excellent public transportation, and a culture of working to live instead of vice versa would make it worth it for me.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2017 4:58 pm This is why I'll never actually be able to move to Europe (France).

A good tax person is very much worth it, imo.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2017 7:04 pm I need to get an accountant for next year.
I hate sorting through stuff and entering tax info for the wife's business... such a pain in the ass.

Do you offer audit protection with your tax services? If so, let's talk business.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2017 10:11 pmEverything's a business expense bro. It's all tax-free. Only poor people pay taxes.[user not found] wrote:

Click "Forms" on the top right and you get the electronic version of the actual forms.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2017 10:22 pmRight, sounds easy but Turbotax is overcomplicating things and I'm not sure why. Downsides to using a thing that you plug numbers into and have no control over the actual worksheets.
Good luck though, when I've done that in the past things never worked out and I ended up starting over. One year I did my taxes 8 times on Turbo Tax to fix errors it seemingly couldn't recover from.
Every year I swear that next year I'm hiring someone and I never do.... wtf is wrong with me?

I won't pay someone to do a thing that I should be able to do myself without major issues, even if it might be smarter to do so. It's the anti- mentality... or being a cave-man.

I'd rather screw it up myself than have someone else screw it up for me.

Usually the bang for the buck is insane. It is literally some of the best money I spend every year. Would rather DIY on almost ANYTHING besides this.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2017 7:04 pm I need to get an accountant for next year.
