I hate fucking taxes. Just stayed on a call with Fidelity because I overpaid my 401k by a few dollars and they don't know how to set a reimbursement. Now I'm on a call with Anthem because they don't know why I never got my 1099-SA. Fuck. I really fucking hate taxes.

Of course they have to mail it to me. Now I gotta figure out how to calculate my own 1099 SA.

Just file for an extension, it'll give you until October (?) to complete your taxes with the proper paperwork.

Few years ago, I estimated my pay/taxes because a former employer never mailed me my W2 since they just sucked. I'm foggy on all of the specifics, but I remember getting a letter saying they couldn't verify the info from that W2, and that I wouldn't get my refund until it was verified.

Got the company to send me my actual W2, filed a revised return, and ended up owning like $1700, even though it had told me before the letter I'd get a refund of like $3k. Annoying as fuck, but ultimately my fault, I should've just waited for the W2 and filed for an extension in the meantime.

Following year, I got a letter from the IRS saying they owed me $1300 that was never released due to my tax shenanigans the previous year.

Moral of the story: just file for the extension, save yourself the anxiety and headache.

I just ended up using ChatGPT and manually calculated the 1099 SA using statements that were available.

I owe like 11k so if I file an extension, I will have to pay interest.
