问HN:作为在美国的外国人,您觉得在这里报税怎么样?
我来自英国,但目前居住在美国,报税的过程简直是一场灾难。<p>问题主要源于糟糕的税务会计师,以及我在英国有投资账户,而英国的税务年度与美国不同,因此整理美国税务年度所需的信息变得更加困难。我曾在其他国家生活过,从未遇到过这样的问题。<p>我在这里的会计师完全无法理解基本的投资账户数据。他们凭空捏造数字,反复犯同样的错误。<p>尽管我支付了他们的费用,但最终还是不得不手动进行所有计算,并编写脚本来计算我的收入、股息和收益,以符合他们的格式,结果他们仍然错误地复制和粘贴数据。<p>你有过类似的经历吗?

I am from the UK but living in the US and filing taxes has been a complete disaster.<p>The issue mainly stems from bad tax accountants and the fact that I have investment accounts in the UK where the tax year is different so collating the info for the US tax year is harder. I have lived in other countries and it has never been a problem.<p>The accountants I have had here have been completely unable to read basic investment account data. They have fabricated numbers out of thin air, repeatedly made the same mistakes over and over.<p>Despite paying them to do it, I ended up manually doing all the calculations and writing a script to work out my income/divs/gains in the format they need and they still managed to copy/paste the data incorrectly.<p>Have you had a similar experience?
