How diverse is your investment portfolio? How many different stocks and securities have you sold last year? Were these subject to short term or long term capital gains? Did you rebuy any of those, making the security subject to the wash rule?

If you have a family, a house, multiple W-2s, 1099s, a retirement account, and a 529, things are still pretty “simple”. TurboTax does not let you use their free file if you’ve traded stocks, but for most other products, even some low volume trading in a brokerage account is considered fairly standard.

At the end of the day, it comes down to how organized you are, and how much time it will take you to do data entry. Usually, your tax documents have clear headers, and usually, these match up to the fields in the tax application. But not always, and the more documents you have, the more hours it will take, and the more likely you are to run into a speed bump that will cause frustration.

So, how much is your time worth to you? If it’s worth more to you than the cost of a tax professional, it’s an easy decision.

That’s not true; the oligarchs control the present, and none of this negatively impacts them in any way. In fact, quite the opposite.

For what country?

In the US, at least, the long term average is 3.10%, including the post-1913 Great Depression and the Oil Crisis/Great Inflation of the 1970s. From 1990-2020, the average has been 2.2%, just slightly worse than the stated goal of current US economic policy, which is to maintain long term inflation at a rate of 2%.

Meaning, 3% beats inflation significantly more than half of the time, especially since 1990.

This is a full funding plan, for the rest of the fiscal year, for six out of the twelve required funding bills.

Not cheaper. More likely there is budget available for National Guard resources and things like anti-terror, disaster relief, etc., as opposed to next to nothing for infrastructure improvements and staffing.

Cost of living, yes, and if you’re a solid performer, 3% is considered good. However, this is a 5% across the board, and a large increase to entry level.

Good catch, and appreciate the additional info!
