According to Market Watch’s calculator, my federal tax total will go down $912. However, if I didn’t have a child eligible for the $2k child tax credit, my tax would go up $188.

MFJ with AGI ~$110k and $21k in itemized deductions.

We got bonus for AA and discover saving accounts. Are we good to close these accounts? Can we close and reapply again?

Thanks

You can close whenever, but this is a one time only bonus, so you can’t reapply and get it again. Considering there is no minimum balance requirement and it pays one of the highest rates out there, I’m not bothering to close my account.

I don’t get the sip and scan stuff. How do they stop people from going into a 7-11 and scanning the bottle without paying for the drink?

How does one become an “insider?”

Just read this to my son last night

@richard That should work. Only attaching forms that actually have changes on them is probably the best way to go. Don’t forget to send the check since you’re already late!

If your return hasn’t been accepted at all, then don’t do a 1040X, just start over from scratch and categorize your 1099-MISC income correctly this time. Submit a brand new complete return (and a check). Good luck.

I wouldn’t trust them to help you out on the rest of your return, so I would send the recalculated 1040X too.
