Awesome
This is actually a bit of an annoying problem for us! All the 1040 instructions say to round all figures at the end. So it is expected that you would have a few cases of 1.49 + 1.49 = 3 showing as 1 + 1 = 3. But the…
Partial year residency is an annoying issue. This is not one of the ways we're solving it though!
Can you elaborate about consequences? You might not know the edge case exists, but out of all the people that have that edge case hopefully there is one that does know about it and can implement the fix. Also I'd be…
It's hard for me to understand what you mean. First of all I'm one of the maintainers on the project. Handling people between two tax-brackets doesn't seem like a problem. A spreadsheet might be simple for you dealing…
Open source can solve this problem. Any service you choose might be missing your edge case. But if you can see all the code and figure out where to plug in your edge case, then you can contribute it for all users in the…
I think there are multiple hurdles to getting e-file to work. The biggest hurdle in my view is that e-file requires an intermediary between the payer and the IRS. One of the benefits of this program is that it runs on…
It's admittedly minimalist on purpose, but you can get a 1040 PDF on your phone, that's pretty nice. What would you change?
No data transacts to any server. It's just a static client side site that stores data in your browser's LocalStorage. And it does run on desktop as a standalone application (5 MB!)
Schedule D is implemented, and the long-term capital gains worksheet calculations are done, but 8949 and individual non-reported positions are not implemented yet.
Ideally an open-source project where hundreds of contributors can add small contributions based on their specific knowledge might produce a viable non-commercial option.
Thanks for that feedback, having source material links in the comments is definitely a good idea. I've added an issue to track that based on your feedback: https://github.com/ustaxes/UsTaxes/issues/458 And another issue…
Thanks for those points. How would you suggest prioritizing implementation of each item? It has been nice working with new contributors that have specific knowledge of such issues. The core team is two people, and we're…
Thanks for the write-up. I thought we would be protected because calculations are done using decimal places and then the final return is prepared using rounded integers. But we have heard this a few times, so I think it…
