Sorry as I can not find the other thread talking about the 2018 tax returns and right now I just want to vent.
My cousin is an id....!
He is single, no kids and typically gets a refund of around $2500 each year.
Yesterday he called to complain about his return. His refund was only $250 and he was pissed and said that accountant #1 (note 1) did them wrong. That he was going to take them somewhere else to have it looked at. I made the mistake of asking him a few questions. I asked him if this last year his check went up by a few dollars? He said he did get about a $40 increase. I told him then you got your refund early in the form of increase money bi-weekly. He did not understand this. I was going to look at his numbers and break it down but figured its not worth it. He said he was going somewhere else to have tghem redone and hung up.
I'm not sure how much he spent at the first place my guess is $80. No clue where he went for the second look or if it cost him. I know this is mean but I it should cost him for being stu...!
What even ticks me off more is in his rant about getting so little he said he buddy who works with him (married, 1 kid) is getting a bigger refund than last year. 2 DIFFERENT TAX SITUATION! Not to mention you can NOT compare yourself to another person when you do not know their entire tax situation. IDIO...!!!!
Note 1: Not going to name the company as it is not their fault.
