I don't know how I feel with the long weekend. Seems like a really high risk/reward time.
I hit nice on $DVN calls, $BAC calls this morning and some on $ABNB. Nothing crazy though.

Not in heavy. Probably more pissed that I missed the DKNG boat.

Wife runs a childcare business, so I needed a better one to do our taxes. This one fit the bill. Last time we paid someone to do ours they screwed it up and didn't do the deductions right for food. Pissed me off. Have been using this one ever since. Easy, and saves your shit for year to year.

How could they screw up the food deduction? It's literally this many lunches X $2.61 etc

Yeah. I don’t know. Pissed me off. So I started doing it myself.

Certainly a wise choice to take it away from that person.

I decided to try out both Cash App Taxes and FreeTaxUSA. The numbers came out the same, so I filed with Cash App Taxes to save fifteen bucks. 🤷♂️
I'll give a mini review of Cash App Taxes. First off, you have to download Cash App onto your phone to use it. That feels kinda stupid, but you don't actually have to link a bank account as if you were going to use Cash App normally, and they effectively use it as a 2FA system, so I can forgive that.
The other thing that stood out to me is that it's a very front-loaded process. There's an initial screen (screenshot below) where you check off a list of things that apply to you. This screen sets up pretty much everything you see beyond that point. When I've used stuff like TurboTax or FreeTaxUSA, you end up being taken through a lot of screens for special credits and situations that are like "Does any of this apply to you?" (nope).
Cash App Taxes just skips all of that if you didn't select it on the initial screen. On one hand, it speeds up the process because you don't have to click through so many useless pages. On the other hand, if you missed something on that that initial page, you might be scratching your head about where to enter something, or maybe miss a certain credit that applies to you. So you kinda have to read that screen carefully, and check anything that you think might apply to you.
Other than that, it seemed fine to me. It supports most forms, though I couldn't say how well it handles more complex issues like slattimer's self-employment stuff. (My mom used to run a childcare business, too, and I remember my dad saying what a pain that was to file, back in the pen-and-paper days.) Sounds like its biggest limitation is that it doesn't support multi-state returns, though apparently future versions will.

How much you want to bet they don't? They'll get through the first 3 or 4 and market will react and they'll stop.

This is what I would expect would happen.
Which JPM should know that.
Basically what happened in 2018 IIRC. They were raising rates and inverted the yield curve which caused a freak out.

That's why I've stayed with freetaxusa, haven't checked out the cashapp one, I have cashapp, so maybe I should check it out. But the amount of deductions and calculations for childcare can be a pain in the butt. But it made it pretty easy for me.I decided to try out both Cash App Taxes and FreeTaxUSA.
