My tax preparer for over 15 years has not responded to me in 2 weeks, and I don't know if he did my taxes. I am thinking I should file for an extension but have never done it before. I am located in Charlotte, NC, 54 years old, single, with an income of $190K, and no dependents. What should I do if he has already processed the return, and what system or site do you recommend for doing my own taxes if necessary?

I filed taxes for my deceased friend as her court-appointed representative. I'm trying to check on the refund status but the information doesn't match their records. I used TurboTax and had to mail the return because she is deceased. Can you help me?

I will be claiming my daughter as a dependent for 2022. Will she still be eligible for the federal standard deduction when she does her federal taxes? Her total income for 2022 was about $15,100, including $14,280 in earned income and the rest in investment income, and she had about $1,200 in federal taxes withheld from her paychecks.

I started my taxes on 4/13 in English, but when I tried to log in today, the interface was in Spanish. How can I change it back to English?
