I know there's been a lot of posts about tax returns, but since it's that time of year again, I wanted to see whether other people had updated experiences or suggestions on filing straight-forward US tax returns.
What is the best software to use to self-file a US federal and state income tax return? Or is there preference over a specific software?
By straight-forward tax return, I mean:
- worked and rented a flat in HK all of 2014
- contributed to MPF with employer match
- no brokerage account nor any other income other than my salary
- do not own property
- will not be itemizing deductions
- will be taking the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion or Foreign Tax Credit (unsure what the difference is)
- will also be taking the Foreign Housing Exclusion or Deduction
Thanks!
