I thought I'd also mention that I got my W2's today..

There's only 1 problem.. I now have no freaking clue what I'm supposed to do next..

HELP! lol

go to IRS.gov and download the form and instructions for Form 1040EZ...

I'm assuming you're single, no dependents, and no one can claim you as a dependent, right?

Get your tax forms (1040 or 1040EZ or telefile or whatever you think you'll use). OR, get help from H&R Block, although it will cost ya.

Thanks Duck.. Someone told me to go to H and R Block or Jackson Hewitt or whatever lol.. I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing lol

H&R Block is doggy doodoo. You must be young. Go to BestBuy and buy TurboTax. I swear to it and I always get thousands back.

John,

I know your mother isn't able to...but do you have another family member there in your area who could go along with you to the tax form preparer for like moral support...or even to help along in knowing what to say or explain.

I know I would need that kind of help...my Dad helps me with my tax forms.

Eric

you dont have to buy any software. go to taxact online. you can use their software for free and if you fall within certain criteria you can often file for free. the most expensive is 9.95.

turbotax will cost you more than that as will using any tax preparer.

Easy now...that borders on an attack, something which you seem to be pushing the envelope on a lot lately. Watch those snide remarks, please.

For the record, I'm not young and I do my taxes on my own (I even posted about it earlier). However, for someone like John's sake (since he is new to this), H&R Block is a safe bet since they'll back him in the slim case of an audit.

Thanks for all the ideas guys..

A few years ago.. the only other time I had to file.. My best friend's dad did it for me.. But I'm not so sure he'd do them for me again lol

Maybe for a reasonable fee perhaps...or buy him lunch or supper sometime?

the on line stuff is really easy. they tell you exactly what info you need and calculate everything for you. direct deposit is the best way to go. if you file electronically, you can get it in 7-10 days!

true.. that'd work lol

Galveston, this is what Josephine said "There's only 1 problem.. I now have no freaking clue what I'm supposed to do next..

HELP! lol

Any person that has worked knows what to do. If she is young and her first job, I can understand. I did not attack her in anyway, and I will watch my p's and q's from now on. It is understood.

I didn't say you attacked HIM (josephine96 is the screen name...refers to a hurricane...John is his real name). It looks as if your comment was directed at me since you quoted my post. Please only quote the post to which you are replying. This helps to prevent confusion and misunderstanding.

LOL If 1 of you would kindly explain to me my options 1 more time.. I think I'd get it

go to:

1.) IRS.GOV

2) Buy Turbotax

3) Go to pro tax preparer

4) get forms/instructions, file yourself by snail mail

5) File on line

Did I leave anything out?
