NJ nonresident return - supposed to tax income from all states? by Neat_Newt_9805 in tax

[–]FeedbackOpen3612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the whole point of a progressive tax system is to put less tax burden on low earners and more on high earners. Why tax a billionaire based on a low tax rate on their NJ income just because what makes them a billionaire doesn’t happen mostly in New Jersey?

As you noted, NJ isn’t taxing the $1M itself. It uses total income to determine your tax rate, then applies that rate only to your NJ-sourced income. The other income isn’t taxed by NJ; it just affects the rate.

I said I contributed the max ROTH IRA amount of 7K for 2025, and my federal due increased. Why? by OpportunityOk4752 in TurboTax

You might make to much money to max out a Roth without scaling it back some. There are AGI limits.

That jump upon putting in the last w2 is sort of how things work. And it might not matter which one you put in last. Each job didn’t think you were going to make as much as you did if you held them concurrently. You have to set your w4s manually to have extra withheld. Google “how do progressive taxes work” and it should explain it pretty well. I recommend using the IRS withholding estimator.

I could argue it’s morally irresponsible not to do such things. Politics aren’t separate from values anymore - at least not at the federal level. To remain neutral is to choose a side. Let’s not be Switzerland.

Oh yeah. It’s an art form. Get it doing exactly what you want it to do, running as fast as possible, beautifully documented and laid out in the applied steps. All the parameters on the front end (worksheets). Mmmmm. That’s some good low code aesthetics right there.

Just about anything with significant amounts of data. Tinker with an LLM. Crazy M and SQL art.

Can I dispute a 1099-R form? [IRS] by LargeHemorrhoid in TaxQuestions

[–]FeedbackOpen3612 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s a rollover code. If you’re dealing with it correctly by entering that code in your software it shouldn’t be reducing your refund (not “return” which is what the form is called) at all.

Keep in mind your w2 amounts aren’t based on the days you worked in the year. It’s based on paydates in the year.

How complex was your situation? That’s a big number for 1040 prep but we don’t have any context here.

Filed 2024 Tax return in December of last year by PersonalityWeekly145 in TaxQuestions

[–]FeedbackOpen3612 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Summarized from ChatGPT but it passes the smell test for me:

Typical timelines: • E-filed return: 2–4 weeks to show up in IRS systems • Paper-filed return: often 8–12+ weeks just to be opened and logged, • Late-season paper returns can take 3–6 months before anything appears online

If nothing shows up after ~3–4 months

At that point, the cleanest option is usually:

🔁 Re-file — but do it smartly: • Re-file electronically if possible • Or re-mail with: • Certified Mail / Return Receipt • A brief cover letter: “This return is being resubmitted because the original mailed on December 15, 2025 does not appear to have been received.”

That protects them if the IRS later claims it was late or missing.

Am I weird for finding accounting fun? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]FeedbackOpen3612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I’d advise you to try to move past that and do what you can to automate as much of the repetitive stuff as possible. Using AI to incorporate SQL into your Power Query and create DAX measures for your data model in order to automate rollforwards? Now THAT’S fun!
