minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink66•1 month agoHow about automation of filing taxes. Such a scam.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink35•1 month agoNew direct file from the IRS is a good step forward. It is very simple but not everyone is eligible yet iirc.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink32•1 month agoIts so simple I’m disqualified from using it because I have a HSA. Now pass federal universal healthcare and that’ll go away so we have no issues.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 month agoIs that because they don’t have the info from the HSA? I thought the point of systems like this is that they prepopulate everything they know, and then you fill in the rest? That way it’s quicker, and you dont accidentally miss something they know about and get in trouble with the IRS wasting everyone’s time?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 month agoNope, direct file got neutered. It’ll only work if you ONLY have to file a 1040 - it doesn’t work if you have ancillary reporting like an HSA, stocks, retirement plan, etc.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 month agoDidn’t they just open it up to everyone? I thought that was one of the Biden admin’s recent wins
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•1 month agoIt’s opened to all states (was certain states before) but not everyone qualifies.
