2024 Income Taxes

[JEBar]

we just completed and efiled our 2024 Taxes .... ours are not complicated but I'm always relieved when its over .... I didn't notice any difference in the forms we completed .... last year we didn't file until the 16th and we got our refund on the 24th .... can't help but wonder if things will go as quickly this year we just completed and efiled our 2024 Taxes .... ours are not complicated but I'm always relieved when its over .... I didn't notice any difference in the forms we completed .... last year we didn't file until the 16th and we got our refund on the 24th .... can't help but wonder if things will go as quickly this year

I see my tax man on Thursday. This will be my third year in Wisconsin and I’m getting more familiar with state taxes.

My very simple E-file was accepted by the IRS Mon, Jan 27. Refund was deposited to my savings account today, Tuesday Feb 4. That's the fastest I can remember.

Funny you post this yesterday as I organized all our tax papers. I’m only the SSA 1099’s away from filing. I may go online and print them and just be done. Pretty simple for me here in Washington state without any state taxes. (At least on income, plenty of other taxes )

I suppose I should call my tax preparer.

I'm a TurboTax guy, been using that for decades. I did have an accountant do them for me for a couple years, and she found some ways to save me some money with some things, but it really wasn't even a couple hundred worth of difference, and even less when you figure in her fee. I really don't make enough to take advantage of some of the ways you can make things work in your favor.
But it seems like I've now received all the paperwork to get the taxes done for 2024, just need to get this year's version of TurboTax and do it.

E-filed my Federal Tax return today using H&R Block software. It was accepted by the IRS within 4 minutes. I'll mail my state return on Monday. I'm expecting a direct deposit refund from both.

our 2024 Refund was deposited late yesterday .... report filed on the 4th, refund deposited on the 10th .... not bad, not bad at all

Question for those of you receiving Social Security. Have you received MAILED 1099’s yet? I know I can log on and print them out but according to the SSA website they were supposed to be mailed no later than 01/31. If so, should be here by now. Government!

Hatch, each day that I have mail to be delivered, the post office sends me an email with a photo of the first class mail pieces. I received my SS 1099 in the mail on January 17th.

[dave77]

Be very careful to not accidentally mark one of those e-mails as spam. I get mine with my yahoo mail and accidentally hit mark as spam instead of delete and quit getting them. I could log on to my USPS account and see them but didn't get the daily e-mails until a USPS tech fixed it for me.

Wife and I haven’t gotten ours either Hatch as of last weekend. Im not home so my neighbor is checking my mail. I don’t know if she has checked since Saturday. Last year we had them before the end of January. Not sure what the hold up is

I saw my tax man yesterday. I still have one more income statement coming so he can’t finish it yet. Right now lowering my federal and state income taxes along with my property taxes is my best way of getting a raise. Moving to Wisconsin has lowered my sales tax by 5% although it cave me a 2% income tax increase on about a third of my income.

I did an income and expense comparison between Washington and Wisconsin and in effect my income doubled moving here. When you figure in the proceeds from selling and buying in real estate the income from those proceeds compared to the increase in property taxes in Washington has given me another 20%.

All the extra money came from the exchange of living in a big city where it’s currently 42F to where it was -9F last night and the nearest latte is 15 miles away. The funny thing is there were about 1,500 people in a square mile in Woodinville and there are 12 here yet I have more friends here.

Plus I can plink out my back door here.

Thanks for the info CT and Big Al. Maybe it’s an east west thing. My wife and I both have online accounts with SSA and i wonder if those with online access are expected to print them ourselves. Which I’ll probably do.

I have the usps email alerts too and I sure like that. Haven’t looked yet today so maybe my 1099’s are “in the mail”.

[daytime dave]

I made an appointment for next month. I think I have all my statements by now, but should certainly have them in a month.

Ive had an online account for quite a few years and up until this year I have always got one in the mail. So if they changed it nothing was said. My wife and I both went to our online accounts downloaded them and forwarded them to our tax person. Im tired of waiting for the feds.

E-filed on the Saturday the 8th and the federal deposit is pending in my checking account this morning. Less than four business days.

I did the same thing yesterday and as expected it was a pain in the butt. I use a user name and password but now the SSA want’s us to use a third party to log on. So I set up an account via the third party and of course since my wife’s account was using the same company and we have a shared email it wouldn’t allow me to set up an account with the same email. I got thru it but what a pain. Grrrrrr. I’m planning on plugging the numbers into H&R Block online service today.

[Hatchdog]

Filed my taxes this morning, eze peezy with H&R Block online service. Bu my taxes are pretty simple using the 1040 SR form. The standard deduction went up $1600 this year for those of us over 65. $1500 for those under 65.

Still haven’t received my SSA 1099’s in the mail yet. Looked at last years return file and SSA did mail them to us.
