That's what I remember learning while in college. Someone had done a study showing that those who wrote out notes were able to recall information better than those who typed their notes.

Tax Hawk and FreeTax USA are some free options that will still be available to you!

Tax Hawk is still an option for those not in a pilot state!

Free software like TaxHawk and FreetaxUSA popped up once TurboTax and HR Block started charging people. I get your point, but it doesn't carry as much weight with the fre, easy software that's out there.

Why not use free software like TaxHawk? It's been around for a while. At least since HR Block and TurboTax started charging people a few years ago.

It's a regional thing. This is the first I've ever heard Stove Top referred to as stuffing rather than dressing (although it would be blasphemous to serve at thanksgiving).

I've never known dressing to be cooked outside the bird. You cook dressing by putting as much in the bird as will fit and then let the rest cook around the bird in the juices in the roaster.

Maybe it's a north vs south thing. I've always seen it referred to as dressing exclusively on menus as well

You can download forms from the IRS website or use free software like TaxHawk. Many people prefer to use similar software that you have to pay for or pay an accountant to do their taxes for them.

Not to mention the fact that many people don't know what FOSS means, given that it's not used widely outside programmer circles and nobody ever defines the term.

I'm still hoping we get more of the general population on lemmy to help it grow, rather than only be filled with programmers.

It wasn't for the school, the plans were offered at the state level. Every teacher had 2 options, 3 if you were there long enough to get the plan with the lower $4K deductible. Otherwise, you could get a plan with a $6K deductible with a $500 premium.

When I left, I found a plan with a deductible below $1K with a ~$300 premium through the same insurance provider.

The last part isn't always true. When I stopped teaching, I was able to get a plan from the same insurance company with a lower premium and with a deductible that was about 20% of the deductible that teachers have.

It's my understanding that there will be a total eclipse on April 8!

How do you give a shit about minority lives? You're defending Pinochet who led the coup in Chile and built concentration camps for political opponents. He followed in the footsteps of the nazis.
