if you are getting that big of a swing then you are doing something wrong.

We have never had someone do it, and I feel we may be missing out on some credits such as working from home and its write off potential.

HECDOGGIE · 02-03-2016, 12:22 PM

Hm.... i have always had someone else do my taxes, they are dragging their feet this year. I just want it behind me whatever the outcome.

I was going to attempt to do them myself.

I have done ours myself on h&r blocks site the past 6 years without any issues. It's really easy, I just google stuff to see if I can write it off or not. Has always worked out really good for me.

I also got a 1095c, something I have never gotten before and have no idea how that fits on my tax filing.

it doesn't......

You will be receiving a 1095-B form in the mail. Below is a link that you can refer to with questions, however, basically this is an informational only form showing that ******* offered you healthcare coverage. This form will be furnished to the IRS and there is nothing you need to do. This form does not indicate that you elected healthcare coverage with ******, just that it was offered.

Turbo Tax is so easy it's ridiculous no matter what your situation might be. It will ask you every question necessary as you navigate through it. If it applies, it directs you further into subsections and detail. If not, it doesn't confuse you with questions you don't need to answer.

Furthermore, it keeps track each year of your returns. If you have the same job and haven't moved, all the easier.

I highly recommend it.

Honestly, we've used Turbo Tax the past several years with no issues. It's easy to use.

The only question I've caught is that my wife didn't take a state sales tax deduction last year, so I think we need to refile 2014. She said she was almost positive it walked her through questions on it and said we're better off without taking it. I have no idea how that's possible unless we were bumping into AMT or something.

I used a professional when I had my cake business. Primarily to make sure that I took the deductions that I was able to. Secondary to that, I felt it was insurance so that I didn't screw something up and get audited.

I have used Turbo tax the last 2 years, extremely easy and you can work through it in less than half an hour.
