Deductions & credits

I think I'll just get an extension and get my taxes done by a tax professional (I know I won't be paying anything based on my "completed" taxes).

 

I already explained the situation with the purchases in another post and the same person told me to put my purchases as 0 and not a gift and now I'm getting different answers. Not blaming anyone at all, it's more of a wake up call. My taxes were alot more simple before this so it's time to make that step anyway.

 

Thank you all for freely helping others and sharing your insight!
