[@veronicasiordia868]

Bryan do you think they will pass the child tax credit?

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Hi Veronica, honestly, it's looking like 50/50 right now. Usually it's a clear answer, but not this time. I wish I could be more helpful on that. @@veronicasiordia868

[@veronicasiordia868]

Bryan do you know by when will we find out if it passes or not ?

[@smsservicesall]

29th

[@Juice421fs]

Can you do another video like this but geared towards gig worker's?

[@taylorferreria7815]

Who out here 18 and filing their taxes rn 😭 ? I’m so happy I came across his page . Quick and easy explanations , walk-through’s , and further technique / advice . I wasn’t expecting him to make an updated version , but he honestly , truly blessed us !

[@DefinedLoss]

Doing them right now, his guides are super simple. I am 19 and know how to file now with ease.

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Thank you for that feedback and all the support, I appreciate it very much Taylor!

[@jepa8230]

Yo 17 and this first video I watched. So relieved I found him.

[@nickphaux]

Me when I have to be an adult for the rest of my life now and do this every year: 🙃🙃🙃🙃

[@TaeeMusic]

Bro I’m standing on the block rn watching this shit and I’m 18😂😂😂

[@TheodoreMateo3h]

Tax laws can be so complex, and it’s super helpful to break them down like this. Understanding how different policies can impact our finances is crucial for making informed decisions.

[@HenryLucask5l]

Making profitable investments during this time of political change can be risky without that insight. For me, working with an adviser is the best first step to navigate these complexities and make informed choices.

[@CharlesLiamh1p]

I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.

[@CharlotteNoah3]

Hmmm this is quite interesting, Please can you leave the info of your investment advisor here? I’m in dire need for one.

[@CharlesLiamh1p]

Nicole Anastasia Plumlee can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like.

[@CharlotteNoah3]

I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.

[@ShalemAhava]

This needs to be taught before leaving high school! Thanks for your high quality content

[@Maintenance_Mark]

We really need to just change the tax laws and FORCE the IRS to pay us our money without us doing anything just like how they take it from our paychecks every week without fail. The IRS knows exactly how much money it owes you but they choose to make you play guessing games instead of just sending the money they owe you back. They could. They just won't.

[@zoeytrahan6970]

It was taught at my school as an elective

[@tearealdavis2212]

It’s not intentionally

[@riftwalk2546]

lets be real here, if this was taught in school most if not all would skip this class. most Americans already hate basic math so if this is taught everyone would hate it.

[@ngmusic5665]

in many schools classes arent that easy to skip, and it can be incorporated into an existing class. nonetheless having it is better than not@@riftwalk2546

[@Eunoia_.__.02]

I’m 21 who isn’t sharp about adulthood and feels really insecure about it. I’m glad to come across this video💕

[@mariacruz_21]

Great job making what can be a stressful topic simple. I'm a fan of turbo tax, too. I've been using them for the past 9 years.

[@deleteduser3749]

I used to buy the CDs in Costco. 😂. Haven't been audited yet but my taxes are simple.

[@KoalaFicationOfficial]

Just remember your taxes money funded wars and illegals than Americans

[@LuxuryTravelsWithAna]

This is gonna be my second time filing as self employed and I messed up the first time. Please do another video for those self employed

[@abiwoods101]

[@KimChung1970Saigon]

Tax filing is complicated even though it is high tech - Online.... I just wanted to learn. And thank you for explaining each step very clearly. The documents helped me understand. Gather the documents & pay to an Accountant & $120.00 . This will avoid headaches, live longer & happy.👍

Very good overview. In short order. Thanks.

[@eagler8196]

1st year claiming social security...did you cover the 3 ways you can determine that tax hit?

[@joegonzalez1941]

There's a silly formula invented by the bean counters,add and divide and subtract and then multiple and subtract again, can't have simple in the IRS 😢

[@king-hi7fu]

Thank you universe for this video

[@tiffanyjones5469]

I always pay someone to do my taxes, after this video I think I’m gonna do it myself

[@recycledgreens-bt9uw]

I might use free tax USA … good idea? I’ve been using turbo tax for about 3 or 4 years

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Just make sure all your carry-forwards are reflected on the new software.

[@funtechu]

Yep, FreeTaxUSA is great. As Brian said, just make sure to look up any carryforwards on last year's return

[@reeseb3545]

clearvalue tax r u a gamer? i like ur taxes!

[@davidyoung8769]

I came looking how to prepare taxes to be self sufficient. The first thing you tell me is i shouldnt do it because im probably too dumb to do it. Nice. Remember folks, tax preparation services actively lobby for incomprehensible tax codes to make it hard to file taxes.

[@sunnyboy8860]

I have both 1099 and W-2 this year for the first time and I’m timid about it because I feel like the tax preparer will fail somehow

[@jillspears6331]

This is great info that I wish was taught in schools. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with people! I used to pay someone $300+ to file taxes. About 5 years ago, I started doing them myself. It’s fairly simple. Saves so much money!

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Oh my goodness, it’s always so wonderful to see you Jill!

[@jrraven3230]

Thanks Brian 😊 😊

[@rudyzuniga7834]

If the IRS knows everything, why do we need to file our taxes?

[@norahallak7325]

Exactly 😂

[@__courtney.j]

Lol they don’t know your deductions

[@dsaavedra1626]

Hey Brian, local chicago that’s been watching your videos since the beginning of the pandemic. Really appreciate videos like this helping us common folk. Was wondering if you could make this video in Spanish for all the…”new comers” 😅 we have here in the states. My barber and I were just discussing this earlier today. Thanks!

[@clearvaluetax9382]

The "new comers", understood! Yes, I'll definitely have to do that, good suggestion!

[@DidYouSeeThis2]

Very useful I was doing this with the tax consultant for many years but next year I am planning to do myself on IRS website. Can we do both federal and state filing together in IRS website?

[@johnwright7782]

Any word on the $3600 child tax credit?

[@johnyang9781]

Is this Edition good for filing with your employer and personal investing?

Thank you so this amazing infor

[@BorselinoThadchack]

awesome, as always!

[@quinkim1]

very informational video, thank you!

[@Fernando-jp7lk]

I don’t have any federal taxes taken out because I need all that I can get on my check. If I owe and taxes at the end of the year, will the child tax credit offset that balance?? Thank you.

[@duplantjohnwilby7148]

One question please.. do i put the total amount paid include social security, Medicare and federal or just the federal?

[@SusanWong-m4w]

Hello Brian. Do you have a recommendation for a tax person in the Orange County area? Greatly appreciated.

[@vngmultiservicoinftech3364]

don´t you have any tutorial that can help me to do that myself

[@kristinaslover8509]

Ive paid for years with turbotax and I have straight forward taxes under 50k always. Why does it charge me then? Does having dependents change things ?

[@pyrogun1839]

i was eligible for free filing and turbo tax forced me to pay when i was nearly done filing my return. I switched to freetaxusa. much better

[@brittanydw1148]

Could you cover how to do crypto taxes or how to how for an accountant that does crypto taxes

[@yaaduwalker4116]

I lost money in crypto and stocks I know I don’t pay taxes on losses but I’m wondering, do I file?

[@cl8045]

Can you do one for self-employment

It could be brought up in the house next week

[@clearvaluetax9382]

Not yet, I will update on that next Samrocco.

[@THEJJAYDED1]

Thx for keeping us up to date! 🫡

[@tacosanloresno]

@@bossedup957more than likely it’s done like that on purpose. Most likely to not overflow the system, and for the government to hold out on paying

[@shreetamsheregar1428]

Very informative video. I came to the US in the month of August 2023, so I have not completed 183 days in 2023, but I intend to stay here for the next couple of years. I just wanted to know if I am eligible to avail standard deduction ?

Any news on the child tax credit increase?

[@heyynicoleee]

Is there free tax software for if you made money in 2 different states? Need to file federal, state 1 and state 2.

[@funtechu]

Not that I'm aware of. CashApp Tax is limited to 1 state. Probably the cheapest would be FreeTaxUSA which is free for Federal and $15 per state.
