Ohhh, you didn’t pay taxes because you ‘itemized’ and had ‘events? Yeah, that’s usually what happens when your taxable income drops low enough after deductions. Nothing mystical about it. Meanwhile, I actually paid taxes — because my income was high enough that even after deductions, the IRS still wanted their cut. So, if you want to pretend your zero‑tax bill means you’re some financial mastermind, go for it. But don’t confuse ‘I had enough deductions to wipe out my taxable income’ with ‘I’m richer’ — that’s not how math works. And TurboTax? Please. My numbers are big enough that the IRS doesn’t let me disappear with a couple of write‑offs.”*Roshambo » 38 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ Nope. That means we itemized, had big deductions, had other “events” and expenses that are tax deductible. Nothing more nothing less.
Your financial situation is TurboTax at best.
