hey demons its me, ya boi

THE IRS website will let you fill out and file your return THERE ON THE IRS SITE.  You pay like $12 for the actual electronic filing process, and THAT’s IT!

Unless you have tremendous amounts of Schedule D stock shit, TurboTax is NOTHING BUT A RIPOFF!!!

The IRS website is EXCELLENT.  They allow you to look up your past returns, and have every bit of information you MIGHT POSSIBLY NEED!

FUCK TURBOTAX!

No $12 fee

That’s the point of free

If you make less than an income threshold you get to file for FREE using various softwares that are REQUIRED to be and stay free or they lose the license to work with the IRS as part of the Free File program

If you make more than that threshold you can file for FREE using the Free File Fillable Forms where you type in numbers and click “do the math” and the website does all your math for you

It tells you how much their income threshold is and if they’ll free file for you at the state level.

Pls reblog if u vote :)

I started saying it ironically but now I just say it gayly

this was a story that was going to begin with the players playing themselves, sitting around the table in my living room, and then in-game the living room (and the players) would be transported to another plane

i rigged up a bluetooth speaker next to the window and closed the curtains. about ten minutes after they came in, before the game even began, i began playing rain sounds very quietly over the speaker. every couple of minutes i turned the rain up louder. just as the game began, with the rain at near maximum volume, one of the players even said "wow, it's really coming down out there, it wasn't even raining when we arrived"

🙃

i wrote a creepy verbal ritual the players had to complete as a group to transport the room to another world. right as they finished the ritual, i turned off the lights in the room using a remote and turned off the rain sounds at the same time

it was crazy effective. realistically it only took them a couple of seconds to figure out how I'd managed to turn off the rain, but they all said later on that those few seconds were completely disorientating, even frightening

Welcome to my main blog!! I treat this place as both a personal blog and an art blog.

Other Blogs:

1) DON’T use your search bar to find and open the Run app

2) DON’T type in services.msc

3) DON’T find Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Services and right-click to get a dropdown menu, and don’t select ‘properties’

4) if you happen to click properties, DON’T use the startup type dropdown to locate the option to disable the program. be sure you DON’T click apply to finalize that change. 

5) DO NOT do the same thing in order to also disable Adobe Genuine Software Monitor 

if you do all of these things, this WILL disable adobe’s ability to monitor the software, and you will be forced to continue using the same older software that you already paid for instead of having to sign up for a newer, shittier version and pay more for it. so if you have lots of cash to spare and are cool with putting it the pockets of racketeering capitalists, definitely don’t do any of these things. 

I’M SORRY MA'AM. I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET.

I will now impart all of my profit killing resources onto you, in case you don’t know them. I think most of you know them, now. But just in case you don’t.

THIS IS US-CENTRIC. I’M SORRY. 

1. GoodRx - this thing has an app now, so you can look up the best places to get your expensive medicines at the lowest possible prices without insurance on the go, and you no longer have to print coupons because you can just hand over your phone or tablet. Times have changed for the better with GoodRx. Definitely use it before trying to fill your scrip, because it will tell you the best place to go. (You can do that on the website, too.)

2. NeedyMeds - Needymeds is basically the clearinghouse of drug payment assistance. They have their own discount cards, but also connections to many patient assistance programs run by drug companies themselves. They are good assistance programs, too.

3. Ask your county - This is not a link. This is a pro tip. Most county social services will have pharmacy discount programs for people with no and/or shitty pharmaceutical coverage. You can often just find them hanging around at social services offices; you can just pick one up and walk off with it. 

4. Ordering online - There are a few safe online pharmacies. I keep a little database in a text file on my computer. Most of them are courtesy of CFS forums, my mother or voidbat, so a lot of that is a hat tip to other people, but if you’re in need of a place to get a drug without a prescription … first I’ll make sure you 100% know what you’re doing for safety reasons and then I’m happy to turn over a link. 

5. Healthfinder - A government resource that helps find patient assistance programs in your area. This might also point out the convenient county card thing. RxHope is something a lot of people get pointed to via Healthfinder that’s a good program.

Do a Google search for “patient assistant programs” + (your med), or search the manufacturers website. Sometimes the info is online; other times you have to call.

Even some of the big name pharma companies have this. It’s certainly not all companies, or all meds, but it is worth a shot.

Before Obamacare, I lost insurance and couldn’t pay for my mood stabilizers (kiiiiinda important to have those when you’re bipolar.) I was on generic Lamictal, but I went to the official Lamictal website, filled out a form with a valid prescription, and they mailed my meds to me every month for free.

1. check whether you are eligible for free prescriptions,

this is printed on the back of the prescription with the tick boxes, all you have to do is see if you are included in the list and fill in the prescription ticking the relevant box

alternatively there is a nhs eligibility checker here

2. prescription certificates

these are available in any pharmacy and last either six or twelve months, so if you get a lot of prescriptions and aren’t eligible for free prescriptions you can buy one of these and get “free” prescriptions for as long as the certificate lasts no matter how many prescriptions you need

3. Citizen’s Advice Bureau
