I wish it were that easy. One sight says that my taxes on my SS does not include my spouse’s income while another one says it does and gives a ridiculously complicated explanation on how to figure it. I have a major in electrical engineering and a minor in mathematics, but I have no training in income tax gobbledegook.
Every year the 1040 is different, the schedule forms are different and the instructions are different.
And they expect us to be perfect........................
