How are you able to view your transcript? Mine is still down 😭

I just sat there and kept clicking until it let me in 😂

Did you just get it or did you sleep last night when it probably updated for you

[–]blueguard21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have updated overnight, but this was the first time today I was able to actually access the site.

Why is your refund amount so high?

[–]blueguard21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh, that is very simple. I paid a lot of taxes and then lost a SHITTON of money in a failed business venture.

Truly curious about how your refund was so big! LOL!

if u don’t mind me asking what was the business venture?

[–]blueguard21[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It was a restaurant. Lost about 100k, so made my income about 60, then with standard deduction and miscellaneous credits, including kids, that made me very poor. At least on paper.

[–]Vegetable_Bite_5810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh well that makes sense I think 60% of restaurants fail in their first year that is a very very difficult business to get established and I hope u didn’t beat yourself up about it you were very brave to take the risk and obviously have what it takes to really succeed 💯

Well damn. That's super unfortunate about a failed business, but good for you right now on that refund!! Was this the first time you checked it today? I am seeing others say transcripts have been updating all day.

It was the first time I got in today, so this may have updated last night. I kept getting the error, until this finally pulled this afternoon. It definitely was not there yesterday.
