Doing Taxes online
 

I want to attempt doing my taxes over the internet, I already tried ounce today at Hrblock.com but the stupid fucking form stopped working. Is this recommended? Anybody know of a better website that is for filling taxes?

My advice is to use a system with a computer-based client application, rather than going through the web. It tends to be more stable.

get the program called "TurboTax"

try http://www.e1040.com/

ahh, i remember the days doing the 1040EZ

life was so simple then

I knew it was to good to be true. I went to irs.com and it said "do your taxes online with the easy to use program that does all the math!". Then it sent me to HrBlock.com. I went through about 10 pages and the fucker just stopped working.:mad:

I suppose I will do it myself with the mail in forms

I change my mind, I just wouldnt pay them at all:glugglug

All these stupid 1099 things burn nicely in the fireplace. :winkwink:
What is the chance of them finding out if I skipped some of the 1099's?

get a good CPA for $125-$250 to do them with you...

always a safer way to go with far less likely audit risks.

turbotax.com - you can do your taxes online, and even download the .tax file for use in desktop turbo tax. kicks ass :thumbsup

depends how much $ they say on them :)

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I've asked this question before, and could not get a "real" answer (as opposed to joke responses)..so here it goes in here:

How do e-processors get away with not having to file a 1099? I had been with only Lancelot Security until they went out of business last September. Every year they sent out a 1099 and so it was fairly simple to do self employment taxes (if you can call our tax system simple).

Now, I'm on my 3rd different processor (oh it's so much fun out there these days), and was really stunned when I was told ccbill, Ibill, etc have never sent out 1099s. How the heck do you figure out your taxes and what do you do if you get audited without the 1099s to support your estimates? (Probably showing my ignorance on self employment taxes here).

1099's is just a paper,, you as a business person is suppose to keep records of all your income,,
there would also be lots of instances for income that you wouldn't get an 1099 for,, ie small programming or web design,,
or maybe sold of some stuff on ebay


in reality 1099's are mostly used for the business to write off's

I do keep good records..I guess I'm mostly suprised that the billing companies don't report the monies to the IRS. Not sure if that's good or bad frankly.

The explanation on another webboard from someone who asked the 1099 question basically said that WE hired ccbill or ibill to do a service for us, that technically we should send them a 1099 for their service fee.

So, which way do we look at it? I made 100k gross, they took 15%, did I make 100k with 15k in expenses? Or did I make 85k? *numbers made up

You get a checks totally $85k, thats your income. Obviously you dont get checks for 100k and then mail ibill a check for 15k. Or maybe you do. Who knows with some of the idiots here...
