Tax Break Friday Poll: What do you worry about most when you're doing your taxes?

Comments (6) Leave your comment

1. I worry most about Turbo Tax POOR approach to 529 plan QTP distributions and college costs (tuition/room and board). Most parts of the TT program are fine, but their approach to college expenses is AWFUL. It took me DAYS to finally figure it out, reading on-line posts, IRS publications, and other help.

   I may switch to another tax program next year.

2. What do I do when Turbo Tax is not calculating my return right? I sent an E-Mail but have gotten no answer.

3. What I worry about most when doing my taxes is the torment to File or NOT TO FILE and wait for legislative reform? I mean I have until April 15 right? Millions of us face this question. Could all of my unemployment benefits in 2009 be treated to tax free compensation not just the current ridicuious $2400 deduction? The new bill proposal out there calls for all unemployment collected in 2009 to be tax free and is called the Jobless STUB 2009 Tax Free Act. Should we the long term jobless wait before filing to see if this bill or even one like it passes to avoid a IRS debt and collection agencies. Unfortunely like millions we have most of our income if not all in 2009 from unemployment compensation and did not withhold funds from our checks in order to survive. So what should we do besides buy a lotto ticket.
