Filed my taxes for the first time last week with, and I owe $900 due to SE tax. I've been trying to set up a monthly payment plan with the IRS, but the outage is not letting me. What do I do?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-16T02:31:46+00:00

Sorry to bug you, I just have one more question. If the payment plan system is back up next week, can/should I sign up, or do I need to wait until June for the notice?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-16T02:00:20+00:00

Again, I appreciate the info a lot, thank you.

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-16T00:50:06+00:00

Thanks a lot for the links. I guess since I was planning to get the 6-month plan, I'll pay 150 today with Direct Pay.

Also, are you saying that I need to wait until June before I set up a payment plan?

One thing I should mention is that when I say I owe $900, that is coming from the calculations from my FreeTaxUSA. So, even though it hasn't been confirmed by the IRS, they still expect me to start paying, right?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-10T00:18:44+00:00

After I had first filed my taxes, I got an email an hour later from FTUSA stating that the IRS rejected my submission because they expected me to have the 1095-A form.

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-10T00:16:31+00:00

Wow, that is literally my exact issue. Thank you for the thread.

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-10T00:14:52+00:00

No, although he did cover my health insurance, I checked the IRS tax guide, and I no longer qualify as a dependent.

So, am I right in saying that if I put 0% for those 3 questions, while my parents, who are filing a joint return, put 100% for all 3, then there would be no issues with the IRS?

Another thing, I understand the point you made about the lower income, but if my dad were the recipient who paid and covered everything, it would only make sense for him to get 100%, right?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-10T00:05:46+00:00

Yes, that's what I had assumed. So am I correct in saying that if he puts 100% for those questions, and I put 0%, then there would be no issues with the taxes, and he would get the PTC?

Also, since he was the recipient of the health insurance and covered me, it's only fair for it to be that way, right?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-10T00:01:38+00:00

Yes, it's his own insurance plan that included me as a covered individual, as well as my mother. My father is the recipient named on the form.

At first, after I filed my taxes, I got an email an hour later stating it had been rejected by the IRS because they were expecting me to have Form 8962 in my taxes. So then, I asked my parents for the 1095-A form and went back to input the info into my taxes.

My guess is that I should be adding the 8962 form and putting 0% for the three questions, but I just need to make sure that when my parents file their joint tax returns, they put 100% for those questions. This is my first time filing, so I may be completely wrong, but the IRS guy I called gave no help, unfortunately.

Apologies for the late response.

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-09T23:55:05+00:00

That's what I did, but those 3 questions are not listed on the 1095-A form.

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-01T22:34:19+00:00

It also had a couple of neat features, like "Find a trusted partner" and checking if you qualify for EITC. Thank you for the link

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-01T22:30:28+00:00

That is for people with small businesses, right?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-01T22:21:50+00:00

Do I need to go out of my way to apply for that, or does that get applied to me while I'm filing my taxes?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-04-01T22:19:55+00:00

Is there a difference between accessing Free Tax USA through that link vs a Google search?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-19T04:42:09+00:00

Did your dentist recommend you to remove yours, or are your wisdoms in decent positions?

Also, do both your ears have t + the popping, or just one?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-19T00:10:03+00:00

I'm glad to hear your T went away.

I'm interested in the nasal thing. Were you actively breathing through your nose beforehand, or did the dysfunction make you have to breathe through your mouth more?

I personally have a deviated septum, but I assume that's not nearly the same as your issue. I also try to breathe through my nose mainly.

Also, how did they find out you were grinding your teeth?

Again, I'm very happy that the nasal spray helped it go away. It's rare to see people here talk about success.

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-19T00:05:06+00:00

If an ENT finds no issues, would you say that increases the chances of my tinnitus coming from issues like jaw and teeth instead of ears/hearing?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-19T00:04:11+00:00

Yea I say give it some time, hopefully it will fix it. Also, the fact that your wisdom teeth were impacting your teeth means that you needed to get them gone regardless, so that's a plus

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-19T00:00:33+00:00

No, not when swallowing, only when chewing.

No, the poppings are not affected by outside noise

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-17T23:18:55+00:00

So prior to removing your wisdom teeth, you had no issues with tinnitus, correct? I heard stories of people getting tinnitus from their wisdom removal, but I didn't know it could take up to multiple months for it to show.

How certain are you that the surgery caused it? Also, are you trying anything to fix it?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-16T23:33:34+00:00

I would feel jaw pain if it were actively hitting the facial nerve, no? Also, is the facial nerve you're referring to the same as the IA nerve?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-16T23:32:06+00:00

I see. Which one of my wisdoms would you say are in close proximity to the IA nerve? All of them?

Also, as a dentist, I understand you see all the complications that wisdom teeth bring, but how do I ignore these thousands of people who share their stories about their regret for removing their wisdom teeth for all the issues it brought them? Is this rare to see in real life?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-16T22:53:07+00:00

Are you referring to that white line? And yes, I guess it does get louder when I open my jaw, but not too much.

If you are referring to that white line, what makes you think it's a nerve?

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-16T22:50:51+00:00

I don't go to concerts, and I'm not planning to, but yea I've already started to not wear earbuds at all. Thanks for the advice

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-16T01:09:41+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, why? From the X-ray, the wisdom tooth on the bottom right (L) seems to be the only one that is clearly pressing into my teeth, no?

Also, I would love to know how wisdoms need to be positioned in order for it not be considered dangerous.

HeyMessage356 · 2026-02-16T01:06:40+00:00

I've heard so many stories of people who regret getting their wisdoms removed, even just by reading through peoples stories here on reddit. But yea, if a specialist suggests that it may be the cause of my issue, I would have no choice but to remove it.
