I only have one job, I don&#8217;t own a house, I&#8217;m not married, and I have no kids, so it&#8217;s fairly easy and I always get a refund. I just upload my W2 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hrblock.com<\/a>, answer a few questions, and my refund usually gets direct deposited a few weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>Since I had the stroke last year and received tax-free disability checks during my medical leave for six months, I waited till the eleventh hour to do my taxes, because I assumed I&#8217;d have to pay taxes on that income. It took months for my disability to get approved, so I used up all my sick time and vacation (which I was max&#8217;d out on) to get paid in the meantime. When my disability finally got approved, it was retro to when I applied in January, so I got a ton of money and it was all tax-free. I didn&#8217;t need the money, because I wasn&#8217;t spending $5,000 on doordash every month anymore LOL, so I opened a high-yield savings account and just let the money sit in there and gain interest ever since.<\/p>\n<p>I never got a form with the disability income, and HR thinks I should&#8217;ve received a separate W2 for that income. I had my friend who goes into the office near my apartment check my mail, and I didn&#8217;t receive anything from the company they use. I also emailed my contact at the company, and she just forwarded my email to someone who could help.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m too young to know anyone else who has had a stroke or gotten short-term disability LOL, so if you know someone who has, please send them my way to give me some insight \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n<p>If I don&#8217;t have to pay taxes on those disability checks, I&#8217;m either gonna buy a Tesla with that money, or doordash some banana pudding ice cream from Coldstone, I haven&#8217;t decided yet&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sidenote:<\/strong> You don&#8217;t want to mess with my boss ass bitch sister.
