Twenty-something granddaughter lives in CO. Goes over some numbers on her return with me because she thinks her refund for 2022 is too low. All she has is a W-2. First I explain to her that FICA and Medicare withheld does not enter into the calculation of her refund. Then I look up CO income tax and tell her that the refund she figured may actually be too high. Return is so simple I can't believe we are having this conversation.
Who knew? She says the software she used adds a CO sales tax rebate to her refund. When I look it up, I see it for 2021, but not yet for 2022.
How's an old grandfather supposed to impress his granddaughter if her free software knows more than the old guy?
