用 IRS 網上的免費稅表自己報稅

(2021-03-12 17:34:34) 下一個

本人多年來都是自己報稅,具體就是到 IRS 網上下載,打印所需填寫的各種表格,然後自己填寫,最後複印一份留底,再到郵局以可追查方式郵寄給 IRS。這樣就需要用到打印機,複印機,還要跑郵寄交郵寄費。

2020年報2019年稅的時候,我嚐試跟上形勢,簡化程序並爭取以電子遞交方式上交稅表。在 IRS 網上研究了一下,最後選擇了  https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/#/fd

這個網頁報稅的好處是沒有收入上限,提供可填寫的 IRS各種表格,可簡單進行計算和查錯,最後以電子遞交方式上交稅表。遞交後反饋信息迅速,一般一個小時內就能收到IRS的初步檢查結果,告訴是通過了還是沒通過。我用了兩年了,每次都是要反複起碼5次以上才能使我自己填的稅表符合IRS的驗收標準。這一步是整個程序最難的一步,原因是 IRS 回饋的,關於你填表所範的錯誤信息,非常難以理解,需要通過它家提供的免費查錯程序,將錯誤反饋信息轉化為大家熟知的語言,加以更改後再度提交。每次IRS隻是指出幾個個錯誤,等你改正了,它才再指出另外幾個錯誤,如此往複循環,直至所有錯誤都改正了,報的稅被接納為止。

下麵我給出一個IRS反饋的錯誤信息,以供大家參考:

遇到這種情況,就要用IRS的查錯程序,把反饋逐條複製到搜索框中,按搜出來的結果對稅表進行逐一修改

反複遞交修改多次後,希望你最後能得到如下獲準遞交的通知:

Dear Free File Fillable Forms Taxpayer:
 
Congratulations, the IRS has accepted your federal tax return.
 
Your Submission ID is:  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
If your tax return showed that you have a tax refund due to you, in about 72 hours you'll be able to track your refund at http://www.irs.gov/Refunds on the IRS website.
 
You'll need to enter your Social Security number, filing status and exact whole dollar amount of your expected refund.
 
The IRS website is updated every 24 hours so wait at least 24 hours from filing before checking the site.
 
You can also call (800) 829-4477 for refund status, but wait at least 4 weeks from the day you e-filed.
 
A few things to note:
 
  1. If you haven't already, it's always a good idea to print a copy of your return for your records.
 
  2. If you owe taxes, don't forget your payment is due by April 15, 2021.
 
  3. If you're paying by check, mail your payment voucher with your check. Your voucher, which includes the mailing address, is included when you print a copy of your return.
 
  4. If you filed Form 8379 with your return, allow 11 weeks from your e-file date before checking your refund status.
