@angelhart83 Yeah I've also been living in the USA only for a couple of years so still learning.
I tried to go to a tax preparer but they expected me to pay $150 for each 1099 form which was too much.
@ashish0849 I applied for a Pell Grant before and was denied saying my EFC or so was too high. I mean sure, I work many hours like 7 days so it's normal to be making more but I still get taxed heavily.
I'm also looking into the VITA program, hopefully to get some help.
Oh yeah another thing...
@angelhart83 Ah I didn't know. Yeah I decided not to do more 1099 and complicate it further. Plus the apps I used to use don't have much of work.
I'm planning to set up a plan but it makes me feel awful how long it will take for me to repay that. Should have gone to school indeed.
Living in Los Angeles, since 2022 I worked a bunch of jobs, 1099 apps and temp gigs agencies. No health insurance either. I made like 28k from the 1099 apps doing catering work and about 2-3k from W-2 agencies that didn't withhold any tax. 2023, I wasn't doing financially well so I didn't pay or...
