DeathMagnetic80 04/11/17 2:41:03 PM #13:	InfestedAdam posted... I was lazy this year and put it off until last week. Normally I'm done around February. My return was weird though. Both in 2015 and 2016 I claimed only myself. In 2015 I got back $15 whereas this year I got back about $1,500. When I checked my W-2 form from 2016 somehow I didn't claim myself so was tax the full amount in 2016. I used the 1040-A form this year instead of 1040-EZ form. Actually felt a bit overwhelmed and the majority that the 1040-A asked for didn't even apply to me. I shoulda stayed with the 1040-EZ form. For some reason Franklin Templeton never send me a 1099-DIV form. Supposedly because the interest is so little they're not obligated to do it. Though I thought reinvestment still count. mastermix3000 posted... This was brutal, idk how accountants go through this every year It's all just basic math. I'd imagine they simply have the various rules and stuff memorized. Pretty much. I'm not an accountant, but I'm a licensed tax preparer. The actual math part is all easy, it's keeping up w/ the rule changes, and learning the rules for other states since I live in a military town that's a pain. <cite>DeathMagnetic80 posted [p:876991890] in Tax deadli...
