The first tax filing of the year is done!

The American one is the harder and has to be done in two parts - one state and one federal. No prefilled forms sent home to you, as the Swedish, so you have to fill in your wages/taxes payed etc. yourself. Olle worked trying to find the right forms in order to convince the IRS (the U.S. federal government for collecting taxes) that we spent most of last year in Sweden, so that we can be taxed as non-resident aliens... lots of forms to go through.
There are more possible deductions to do here than for the Swedish one; health insurance in the state filing and state taxes payed in the federal filing. We can understand that many people in the US use tax filing programs and/or consultants to do their tax filing.
