All online here at www.sars. gov.za so all done in about 10 minutes.

My results were available in 5 minutes and it seems I owe them 5 cents!

How do I even pay that? 😅😀😃🐢

Taxes in the US are so ridiculously complex that few people can do them correctly without professional assistance. Takes me hours every year.

It looks to me like 5 SA cents would be about 1/3 of a US penny. Try not paying. They'll probably charge you interest. Pay them when it gets up to 1 rand. (This is not legal advice!)
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

Indeed.

Especially if you see how corrupt our government is. 😳😳

I use TurboTax, which walks you through every step and then analyzes your return to detect possible errors or omissions before you file. They have great customer service. A couple years ago I didn't know how to handle a retirement plan rollover. I requested assistance and they called me back in less than 1 minute. I still haven't filed for 2024 yet (I procrastinate and extend my tax return almost every year to get more time to file). You won't see any 5 cent issues in my return because it's rounded to the nearest dollar.

I spoke to my neighbor who was a director at the local tax department and he laughed, then he told me to do exactly what Rev told me to do. 😊😊🐢

The funny part is, I'm a CPA but I'm by no means a tax expert.
