PeteMoss Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I received an email from NYS stating that I may be able to file my taxes for free. Basically if you have an AGI of less than $69,000 you can file for free. But many options have this caveat " your age was 17 through 51 as of December 31, 2019 " so what if you are older than 51? You can't file for free? The problem is, how do I know what my AGI is unless I have access to the tax software? https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/efile/default.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it. I trust NYS Politicians to help Working Persons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Good morning Pete :) I see you added Meghan Markle to your interests. I'd never heard of her until she came on to the royal scene. There was something I didn't like about her but I couldn't put my finger on it until yesterday. She reminds me of Casey Anthony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should look up what Al Sharpton had to say about the wedding of the woman who married the Prince.

So not looking forward to it. I've done ours online for years. You just basically answer the questions they ask. ("Did you...work in 2019 and receive a W2, ......pay property taxes....get married......sell stocks...etc" If you say yes, it takes you to the next screen where you fill in the info. It's fun. The best part is up in the corner is a running tab of what you'll owe or what your refund will be. You can watch it go up or down with each set of info you enter.

That is normal for a guy who went from riot instigator (with deadly results) to now being Messenger boy for one of the more secret Owners of the Democrat Party. 101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 ^Gotta wonder if he was ever on the plane. The reverend, Cuomo...I wonder about a lot of New Yorkers. I'm surprised the manifests have never been published. SO WILDLY OFF TOPIC! Sorry, goofy kind of overtired..eating posting and going to bed but I had all day to think of stuff.

The two years i did them online I did not get what I was expecting as far as a refund goes. the next year I went back to doing them on paper and lo and behold...everything was right. Imagination? Maybe, maybe not. One time I took my taxes to HR block because I wanted the fast back. I had already done my taxes on paper. The next day I go to sign off and the girl says to me, great news, we found you an extra $75.00. i said, no you didn't, show me. So she scrolls down to a line that says misc. $75.00. I asked what's that for? She said didn't she know and I said well I'm not signing, you aren't submitting my return and I'm not paying you at all. I should have marched myself right down to the Metrocenter IRS and told them what happened. ^I think I may have told that story before, if so, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
