Hello! Aside from the federal side, overtime is exempt from being taxed in Alabama for the first half of the year (up to June 30th).

I included my child as a non dependent in my tax return, and I provided that my ex was claiming the child. Under the childcare/dependent care section I claimed $0 for said child.

Hi! For the 2025 tax year, I lived in Maryland and worked in Pennsylvania for the entire year. My wife was the same - we work for the same company, and we are filing married jointly. Each year I do the taxes in both Turbo Tax and FreeTaxUSA to see if I can get the numbers to match, then I file in FreeTAXUSA. Kind of just a…
Hello, I worked for Doordash throughout the year sporadically. I have been given a 1099-NEC and but it doesn't list the tips on it. They send that and the mileage information in a separate email so we know what we can put on our taxes. It asks on the 1099-NEC form how much of the total amount shown in box 1 ($1874) on the…
