I think I started filling out my own taxes.....uhh....in my late 20s?

Posted by ty97 Aug 19 '21, 12:30

or early 30s?

And I have an accounting degree.

My dad likes taxes, they're like a puzzle to him!

How does anyone not like doing taxes? They're missing out. -- nm - Max Aug 19, 13:12 2
- I hate it and want the IRS to do it for me and just send me a copy to review and approve. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 13:28
- I miss it, so. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 13:13
from the time i had a job - my parents made me do my own as a teenager (with them). I only started NOT doing it when i became self employed. - Andie Aug 19, 12:44
I did when I was 18 (unless you can do it younger). -- nm - loosilu Aug 19, 12:42

I filed my own taxes from age 18-20. I have not done so since -- nm - decline Aug 19, 12:40
Started when I was 23. Dad did it for the year I moved from undergrad to grad school I know because that's when I changed my state of residence - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 12:40 1
- The year I moved from Chicago to NYC was painful for me, doing partial year forms for both states. - ty97 Aug 19, 12:49
I was 18 or 19. I would go to the library and get the forms to fill out at home. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 12:37 4
- I'm my early 20s, I would get the forms at the library - ty97 Aug 19, 12:39 3
  - Ha! I don't know why I wanted to do them myself but I probably thought it made me an independent adult and at the time I wanted nothing more than to - Krusty Aug 19, 12:42 2
    - My Dad: "The tax forms are at the library and are due by April 15th. Good luck..." -- nm - decline Aug 19, 12:54 1
      - Haha!!! -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 13:23
I did from 19 years old until I started my company. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 12:34
I’ve never not filed my own taxes. -- nm - znufrii Aug 19, 12:31 7
- You didn't work as a teenager? -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 12:40 4
  - Well, taxes are pretty simple when you're a teenager. -- nm - mara Aug 19, 12:43 3
    - I was just thinking that as a teenager his parents would have handled things like this. I worked at 14 and certainly didn't file my own taxes then but - Krusty Aug 19, 12:53 2
      - Ah. I started working at 16, and did them myself. Correctly or incorrectly, who knows. :-) -- nm - mara Aug 19, 12:55 1
        
        Interesting. It seems a few people started doing it themselves at 16 or so. My parents had a guy that came to the house and my mom would have him do - Krusty Aug 19, 12:58
- Same. - spamlet Aug 19, 12:40
- The annual horror of helping my brother through his taxes still visits us -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 12:33
