Form says this
Quinneapolis
I don't... I didn't get a 1040 form
Quinneapolis
just two W-2 forms
Quinneapolis
what do I do
Quinneapolis
It's asking me for my AGI and I have no earthly idea what that is
TWO OF THEM
the 1040 form is your completed tax form from last year
Quinneapolis
w...what if hypothetically I don't remember getting that
TWO OF THEM
the one it should have given you a pdf copy of
TWO OF THEM
i...hmm. is there a way to look at your previous 1040s on the site?
TWO OF THEM
if not check docs & downloads
Quinneapolis
I used turbotax last year
Quinneapolis
would theye have it
TWO OF THEM
i'd check the turbotax website, yeah
TWO OF THEM
did you get a new computer between tax seasons? i always got a pdf of my tax forms, even when i used turbotax the years i didn't have to file state
TWO OF THEM
so it MIGHT be somewhere on your hard drive if the website is a dud
Quinneapolis
I think I must have
Quinneapolis
oh cool turbotax is fucking holding it hostage
TWO OF THEM
UGH
Quinneapolis
duo go back in time and tell me not to use turbotax
TWO OF THEM
how very like those bastards
TWO OF THEM
GJSKDHDKKF SOMEDAY I WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO EXACTLY THAT
Quinneapolis
OH WAIT I FOUND IT
Quinneapolis
christ
TWO OF THEM
YES
Quinneapolis
also like... I feel like either I was being fucked before or I'm being fucked now
Quinneapolis
because ever since 2015 I stopped getting refunds because my income was too high and started paying instead, which I was fine with
Quinneapolis
but now creditkarma is telling me I have a bigass refund
Quinneapolis
WHAT CHANGED
Quinneapolis
I'M AFRAID I'M COMMITTING TAX FRAUD???
Princess Emily
you're rich enough to qualify for rich-people republican-approved tax breaks maybe?
Quinneapolis
god maybe that's it
Quinneapolis
now I'm making more money so I'm back to not paying taxes
Quinneapolis
I feel dirty
Quinneapolis
I put in all the numbers in the boxes if this is wrong then it's creditkarma's fault
TWO OF THEM
oh nice, do something fun with that refund! you deserve it
Quinneapolis
I'll use it to disrespect the upper class from within
Quinneapolis
oh that's
Quinneapolis
exactly where I crossed I guess
Quinneapolis
yup
TWO OF THEM
this is the only time trump's ever benefited anyone i know. amazing
Quinneapolis
OKAY taxes complete
Quinneapolis
I think I'll not mention this refund to my parents so that I don't need to hear dad's opinions about taxation
TWO OF THEM
good plan
RobotApocalypse
ah, i see your father is a "taxation is theft" type
RobotApocalypse
the dumbest possible take on taxation and yet, so prevalent
Quinneapolis
I don't know exactly what his view is, just that the current tax system is Very Bad and that he matter-of-fafctly explained to me that I'd become a conservative when I grew up and had to pay more taxes
Princess Emily
because all anybody should care about is how much money is in their own pockets,
TWO OF THEM
sounds kind of like "but my taxes don't always benefit ME PERSONALLY therefore they are bunk" sort of dude
RobotApocalypse
my parents also told me this myth
Quinneapolis
yeah
Quinneapolis
as I get older and wiser I just move further and further to the left
RobotApocalypse
but i have only become increasingly leftist as i age and see more deeply into the void of capitalism
Princess Emily
A lot of us become further and further left because of how much the system is screwing us over in ways that it didn't do to their generation
TWO OF THEM
[to the tune of harder better faster stronger] older....wiser.....queerer....lefter
RobotApocalypse
yup
Princess Emily
also we're becoming more globalized and that means caring about issues that don't affect us personally
RobotApocalypse
ooh that's also a good point
Vehrec
and also able to occasionally see that taxes aren't such a hastle for most other countries, where say, you could just ask for a copy of last-year's tax return, instead of having a small freakout as you try to navigate the website of a tax filing company.
Quinneapolis
me being in favor of taxes has nothing to do with what the tax process is like in other countries
Quinneapolis
and everything to do with like... we live in a society
Quinneapolis
you live in a society you pay rent
Quinneapolis
belatedly
TWO OF THEM
thank you for saving my life about taxes twice in one day
TWO OF THEM
i shoulda become a cpa
