    You're return of what, where? A bit more information is required here.

    I'll guess "tax return".

    Probably, but the country name might help too.

    Boy, you sure need a lot of information, don't you? lol

    I'm presuming your income tax return for the USA.  I don't know about your state tax return, but you'll likely need the same information for that as for the federal.


    Gather all your tax documents:  your 1099, 1040, expenses for medical, property taxes, charitable donations, education, social security numbers for yourself and anyone who is claimed as a dependent.


    If you do not have more than a job for income, you can easily file for yourself, but if you have enough "stuff" to itemize your deductions, you might best be served by having a tax prep service, accountant, or CPA prepare the return for you. 


    THAT'S where I would start!  A place like H & R Block should be willing to look at your documentation, ask a few questions, and tell you whether or not you can file by yourself, as well as give you good information on how to get started.

    Too complicated for us simple Brits, most of this s**t is done from source unless you earn a s**tload of cash in a personal situation, whereas if you do, you don't declare all of it, everything we buy here is taxed to the max so the Gov can give tax breaks for the rich and rip off the rest of the population, I'm not giving away what side I lean to, am I?

    I think you are on the same side I'm on....I kept gasoline/petrol receipts last year, as I've confirmed that about 10% of the price per gallon is tax.
    Our IRS system is ridiculous, and there is actually no federal law that mandates the necessity of filing and paying income taxes, unless it slipped by when I wasn't looking. It was supposed to be a temporary thing begun during WWII....let's see now, that was 70-odd years ago. We are so unorganized as a "community" of citizens who should be objecting on a mass basis of this unlawful garnishment!!!

    Gas/petrol prices here are at their lowest for more than 10yrs, approx £5 per gallon($8.50) and we rejoice? Go figure!
    Bob/PKB

    At that price, you'd be better off with a horse!
    ROMOS

    Can't afford a horse either, sad but true, we get by though, thankfully.
    Bob/PKB

    You are, thus, one of the "lucky" ones.
    ROMOS

    Just, only because I'm frugal, spent all my cash years ago, still recovering, life goes on.
    Bob/PKB

    As long as there is a roof over the head, food in the mouth, and a warm, loving body nearby, you are a rich man.
    We both know the best things in life can't be bought. Lots of good stuff, for sure, but not the stuff that makes us truly happy and content from within

    If you're sending this from the top of Mt. Everest, very slowly and carefully. Congrats on having made it to the top!
