Hopefully, I'll get lucky and I'll be dead before retirement. As far as doing taxes, numbers are not my thing. I pay someone else to fill out my EZ form. I'm paranoid about the IRS coming after me, so I pay someone else to do it, because I don't trust myself not to make a mistake.

?????? My last tax refund was less than what I paid the guy I hired to fill it out.

Why would you pay someone to do your taxes if they are that simple? You are getting hosed and the guy taking your money should be ashamed of himself.

I freak out when I see numbers. It's always been that way. I always did very well in school, except for math. I just don't trust myself when it comes to anything to do with numbers. I'd rather let someone else fill out the forms who knows what they are doing, rather than make a mistake, get audited and lose what little I own.

That was the cheapest price I could find for someone to do my taxes locally, here in Ohio. As for letting the government keep it, I needed it to cover the cost of paying the tax guy. I need that money to live on. Trump and Biden don't. Both are independently wealthy. 

Where is there free services? I don't know of any and if it's free, doesn't that mean it's low quality? I don't trust things that are free. As I said before, I'm not messing with the IRS. I don't want to lose what little I have.

Any big tax software has free services for basic filing. Turbotax, etc.

Don't I have to input numbers online though? I don't wanna have to do anything, because I don't trust myself not to make a mistake.
