Yeah, it fucking sucks... My effective tax rate was like 21% this year. Shit is so rustling after you are how much money that is and how much inflation is raping your expenses.
Big fan. I've used them for a couple of years now. There was a little trepidation the first time since I hadn't heard of them before, so, I wanted to make sure it wasn't a scam. I used to use turbotax, but they've continuously jacked up their prices and my taxes have gotten simpler (I haven't had any time to daytrade in my brokerage accounts). I paid in total 43ish bucks (15 for filing in state, 8 for deluxe in case I needed to file an amendment, and 20 bucks for audit defense since I had some HSA crap that I had to fix).
Including withholding? That is odd.
Checks should come with a letter of some sort. Many times they don't mail the check and the explanation letter together though. Expect the letter in a few weeks.
Anything from Covid period is absolutely fucked. They basically did nothing during that period. I have clients getting letters from that period recently. If things got mailed in it could still be sitting in a warehouse unopened. And yeah, expect the average turnaround if they mail a check to wrong address or it gets returned to be a 6-month min.
Dang like you actually have a tax bill and not just assessed value*old tax rate? Because generally the assessments are irrespective of budget. Everyone in our town went up like 20% last year when they did reassessment, but because budget only increased like 3% the tax rates got revised down per 1K/val.
