Just wing it doc

Hey doc! You moved to GA? Welcome! I've always used freetaxusa.com But there are many other tools too. If you don't have a lot of non standard deductions, just using a tool to file free is the best thing I think. It's a toss up. The more you spend on a tax return the more you might can save through deductions but does the amount saved count up to more than you spent? Plus the time... Also if you have a really diverse financial life, you might also want to pay a CPA.

I'm trying to look into that haha. How easy it to do that in the USA as a foreigner working as a contractor? I'm trying to pin down the exact tradeoffs and possible consequences.

Thanks! I should be there by the end on Feb or beginning of March. I'm going in as a contractor and I'll be filling the 1099 form. I really hate taxes, but especially having to learn how to pay them. I'll check out the website you recommended.

Oh this looks nice, will totally look into it. I only wonder if the IRS is more vigilant on immigrants entering the USA on a work visa or if I am looked upon the same as any other tax payer.

"Glad you found it interesting! 🌟 The IRS has its guidelines, but every taxpayer's situation is unique. It's always good to stay informed and seek advice tailored to your circumstances. Wishing you the best on your journey! 💼✨"

I don’t know anyone in the area, but if you still have assets or income outside the US I highly recommend you get professional advice and not DIY.

It seems that would be the most prodent thing. Wouldn't want to compromise my visa and sat stacking ability for little gain.

I am happy to send you links to the replays of the first study group recoded calls if you want.

Sure, looks interesting, thank you.

I've been busy with work but I will send them to you soon. Look out for your DMs, I know they're not very reliable.

Thanks!
