Each year, I download forms and instructions from IRS and state tax authority websites(in my case, California Franchise Tax Board), read them and fill the forms accordingly. Then, I drop the filled forms in the USPS mailbox for IRS and state tax authority to review. I feel filing my tax returns yearly gives myself a brain exercise on my language comprehension and arithmatic. For example, I needed to input 49 items(mostly numbers) on my year 2022 federal tax return(Form 1040, its schedules 1 and A) last year(2023). For 2 decades, I have been having this relatively direct relationship with IRS and state tax authority, before that I have had accountants and third party software doing the filing, I forgot why I stopped seeking help from accountants, but I still remember why I switched to direct filing with IRS from third party filing website, I was going in loops answering the same pre-filing interview questions over and over without being able to get to the tax forms themselves on the third party website at that time. In the future, I hope I will continue to be required to file tax returns by IRS and FTB because I will have income that needs to be reported.| Happy filing! |
