EDIT: A lot of you are reading into the tweet while still somehow agreeing with the overall message. No one is saying we should eliminate music programs or that we should teach toddlers about healthcare plans. The tweet is making this thing called a --checks notes-- joke, that also conveys the message that schools could teach more practical skills that young adults will need going forward.

    Pretty confident, because there are instructions for everything, and there are free web based filing systems that will ask you those questions, and put the values in the correct spots. Free Tax Act is one such application. But what you described is far from an average person, filing an average claim. Many of those circumstances are unique.

      Free Tax Act is great for filing jointly or as a single person. It absolutely will let you fail extremely hard if you file separately.

      Edit: this might not be true I used free tax USA.

      Just want to sneak in I admire your faith in people’s ability, whether I agree with it or not.

        Oop! Free Tax USA is the one I was thinking of too.

        Hehe. Thanks (I think). I have been accused of over-estimating people’s competence on more than one occasion, so I concede that it’s entirely possible that I’m wrong about this subject.
