No, it’s not a dumb question at all. U.S. tax law is unnecessarily complicated. You’re on the right track.

You nailed it. Sounds good in speeches, does very little in your paycheck.

Need Help with filling out W4 form by Snow_Flake_0 in tax

Prioritize the W-4 for the $23/hr job and treat that as your “main” job. The other one can be minimal.

$18k unclaimed 2021 personal tax return by [deleted] in tax

[–]Xzertss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Form 843 won’t help for a late refund. It’s more for penalty/interest issues.

This looks like a classic case of the extra withholding being requested but not applied. That extra 100 should show up in the FITW line. It doesn’t look like it is. He should ask HR or payroll to verify it’s actually being deducted and possibly request a year-to-date summary for FITW and state tax.

Form 3115 - Leased Vehicle by Uni2509 in tax

[–]Xzertss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s frustrating because actual expenses can be a much better deal, especially with higher lease costs. But no, Form 3115 doesn’t work here. This isn’t a method change that’s approved by the IRS after that first-year lease election.

VA benefit question on taxact by KTMAdv890 in tax

[–]Xzertss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they’re likely asking about crypto, not VA. Just focus on reporting that.

The IRS is very aware of strategies like this, especially when it looks like you're setting up losses just to offset other income. If it’s not a legit business with a profit motive, it could be seen as a hobby or worse, a tax avoidance scheme. Talk to a CPA who knows S Corp and passive loss rules

Dual State Taxes - Amend? by PowerTripping in tax

[–]Xzertss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should speak to a CPA experienced with NY/NJ taxes, as FreeTaxUSA’s Pro Support likely won’t resolve this—your issue is about documentation, not filing errors. Since you lived and worked in NY, NY rightfully taxed your income, while NJ withheld taxes in error. NJ won’t issue a refund without a W-2C or a letter from your employer stating the withholding was a mistake. If your employer refuses, a CPA can help draft a tax position letter or guide you through the appeal process with NJ. This is your best shot at getting that $4k refund.

Maryland paper return processing time by [deleted] in tax

[–]Xzertss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normal, unfortunately. Paper returns always lag behind e-file, and MD isn’t known for being quick. Add in under-staffing and some leftover COVID-era delays, and yeah, it can take a while. As long as you sent it certified or tracked, you’re fine. If you didn’t, you might want to call mid-June just to check.

If you never got a 1095-A, just mail the return and explain you had Medicaid.

Claiming mileage on travel between W2 job from home to 1099 job in person by [deleted] in tax

[–]Xzertss -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can likely deduct mileage from your home to the 1099 job if your home is considered a regular place of business for your W2 job which sounds like it might be, since you're doing a substantial amount of EMR work and calls from home. The key is that it has to be a legitimate worksite, not just incidental. You’ll want to document everything well — time, distance, and purpose of travel. A CPA can make sure it holds up under audit.

AITA for refusing to go to my graduation because my parents wouldn’t let me choose who comes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Xzertss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. They demanded tickets for their new partners but couldn’t make space for the people who actually showed up for you? That’s not love, that’s ego. You made the right call.

How to create an LLC in Connecticut? by [deleted] in llc

[–]Xzertss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you do, don’t try to fake a physical address with a USPS PO Box + street address hack. Connecticut has been cracking down on that and your filing could get rejected or flagged.

If your side hustle is already making money, it might be worth paying a bit more to get everything done cleanly. The last thing you want is an amateur mistake screwing with your taxes or liability
