To late he just got rid of what takes to do our fucking taxes. I REFUSE TO USE TURBOTAX OR HR BLOCK OR ANY OTHER PREDATORY TAX FILING COMPANY.
Guess no refund for us and no child tax credit.
Btw what the fuck is Congress doing? This motherfucker should not be able to do any of this, yet no one stopping him.
You do you. Personally, I want to get my money while I still can. But if you would rather throw away you and your children's money then ... 'kay.
Because there are basically 3 outcomes for the IRS at this point
And if you truly refuse to use any software? You can file by hand. I did back in college when I couldn't afford even fricking turbotax.
Democrats cannot fix this. Perhaps you lived under a rock, but they lost power in all branches of government. Further, whether the actions by Musk violate the constitution is up for review by the courts, not congress. Remember who is in charge there? People warned that electing Trump would end Democracy, but I guess they were just scaremongering.
Isn't freetaxusa still good?
It charges for state tax returns
Ah, okay. Just for electronic filing though, right? You can still use it, print the results, and mail it in, can't you?
Has for 2 years so far.
Try this site.
Where been doing my taxes. Thanks for the link.
Republicans? Sucking a lot Trump, Musk, and any other billionaire's dick.
Democrats? Completely self-sabotaging any attempt to get any opposition going.
Turns out America is weak as fuck. We're only good at applying force when it comes to other nations.
The article goes on to mention he is either lying or doesn't know what he is talking about as the system is very much still in place. It could be either, and likely it's both, that he doesn't know enough to be sure if he did or not, but would be ok if it turns out to be a lie anyway.
You can file by paper
I use cash app and it's free, or at least it was last year.
Cash App Taxes is still free 👍
