How do you plan on completing your income taxes this year?

 

[lxskllr]

By hand. I don't feel like jumping through hoops to get proprietary software working on a proper computer.

 

[Uppsala9496]

My accountant. Been going to the same lady for over a decade.

 

[IronWing]

Already did it by hand. Now waiting for free fillable forms to go live so I can submit my return.

 

[mztykal]

CPA...

 

[Zeze]

Cpa

Painfully. Received a 1099K from PayPal this year because I was apparently too balla.
That's what I get for clearing out a 3-4 year backlog of used hardware (couple of Alienware laptops, Titans, mobos, CPUs, etc.) out in one shot :|

turbotax, just like i've done for the last decade. share it between a bunch of family member and file manually and it's actually quite cheap.

Canadian here, but I have a tax person that does it. I'm not an accountant and never went to school for that nor ever took courses in it. I trust a professional. There's a few things I like to leave up to professionals such as roofing, anything to do with gas lines, and taxes.

That's why I'm kind of bothered by the whole crypto stuff and how they are thinking of taxing it, because it means it will require me to track everything manually and somehow report it. I have no clue how to even do that. Even when I ran a small business, I got forms in the mail every 6 months and I just had to fill them out. But out of thin air? No idea how I would claim stuff or what numbers I'm suppose to put. Hopefully if crypto taxes become a thing it will just be baked into the exchanges and online wallet services. If I go large enough scale to have to worry I will probably do it as a business anyway though, as it would allow me to write off expenses too.

Same as always - H&R Block software.

Our accountant prepares the business' end of things but because we are an LLC with S-corp status it is passed through to us. My wife usually files them using Turbotax.
We already paid all of our quarterlies back in June so hopefully we won't owe much if anything. My wife thinks I'm being overly optimistic but I think we will get around 5k back.

 

[BoomerD]

Completely.

I use Tax Act Free version.

 

[Engineer]

I've done Taxact online for many, many years but they are under new ownership and the prices have skyrocketed. I may have to go the H&R software download route this year to save quite a bit of money (as found on SlickDeals posts)....

 

[pete6032]

For the last couple of years I've used Credit Karma Tax.

 

[Exterous]

Turbo tax deluxe downloadable version (because thats different than online version for some dumb reason). I've tried cheaper options but it does a good job for schedule C businesses

 

[Iron Woode]

I do it for free on the web www.simpletax.ca

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Turbotax'ed it two weeks ago.

 

[ViRGE]

Turbotax'ed it two weeks ago.

Ditto.

Intuit is making a small fortune off of me since I qualified for a 1040EZ this year. But it's so darn convenient.

 

[AdamK47]

Finished filing my taxes last week. Didn't expect a refund, but managed to get a small one anyway.

 

[Exterous]

People are done already? Jeez - I won't get all of my stuff till probably early March

 

[child of wonder]

Wealth management company accountants handle our taxes this year. Historically I've done it myself with Turbotax but it gets more and more complicated every year so we decided to let them handle it.

 

[rh71]

my mommy does it for me.

ex-accountant

Some of us are very simple.

 

[TXHokie]

Turbotax'ed it two weeks ago.

Damn...and here I thought I was early knocking it out on Friday last week.

TurboTax Premier .... only thing I do not like, is they want to add an additional fee of $19.95 to be able to E-File the NC State Tax Return ... If that turns out to be the case, they will be Printed out and sent in by US Postal Service ... They do not require many page so not a big deal. Just annoying that someone (either Intuit or the State) is getting extra money to do the E-File (NY made it Illegal for a company like Intuit to charge for E-Filing) would like all states to do this.
