adulting is 90% pretending to understand taxes

Okay, so like, who ACTUALLY understands taxes? 'Cause I swear I just click random buttons on TurboTax and pray to the financial gods I don't get audited. My brain just bluescreens every time. Send help pls. Anyone else just lowkey faking it till they make it with this adulting thing? πŸ˜‚ #TaxSeasonBlues #AdultingFail #GenZProblems

Fr though! I just finished mine and I'm pretty sure I accidentally offered the IRS my firstborn. πŸ’€ Literally just Googled 'what is a W-2' for the 5th time. We're all in this together, right?

Srsly tho, the only reason I even submitted anything was 'cause I followed a TikTok tutorial. Still not convinced I did it right. Why isn't 'how to do taxes for dummies' a mandatory high school class? Asking for a friend (it's me, I'm the friend).
