Tax help please!
Hi ladies. DH is currently stationed overseas and I'm in the states. He told me to go ahead and get our taxes done because he is busy and won't be able to get to it for a while. Sooo... I have a few questions.
I'm going to be going to H&R Block to get them done. Is that the easiest way? Or would I save a lot of trouble doing it online?
I do not have a power of attorney... do I need one? Or do I just send him the papers to sign and then turn in?
Are w-2's mailed out or does he need to email he his?
Thanks in advance girls. This is the first year we've filed together so I have no idea what I'm doing.
Re: Tax help please!
Don't go to out in town H&R Block. Those are not accountants. Do online.

http://turbotax.intuit.com/taxfreedom/ (I'd only use TT if you're in one of the free states, and I'd compare your refunds [if you get one] with both HRB/TT).
His W-2 should be available on Mypay, or it was mailed, depending on how he elected to receive it.
He doesn't have to sign anything if you do it online.
That depends on the state, if you're filing a state return. I know for sure we had to print out Joe's Wisconsin return and both of us had to sign it since we filed joint.
Did you file MFS for state and MFJ for federal since you had different residencies? I haven't done my state return yet, but I expect hijinks for filing MFS, since CA is a community property state. If I have to have H sign anything, I'll obtain his permission and sign it for him.
Are you guys not both residents of Nevada?
Amen. I actually tried to get a seasonal job there for some extra cash and they wouldn't even consider me because I had a degree in accounting. You'd think they would jump all over it since they wouldn't have to train me.
The people they hire know nothing about taxes or tax code- they know how to run H&R Block's program. You get the exact same thing online. And it doesn't cost $100.
If your taxes are complicated enough that you can't do them, find a real accountant to do them.
WHAT?! That's ridiculous.
Then adjust your withholdings so it's not.
I had to give my coworkers very explicit directions about the withholdings calculator.
LMGTFY for real.
