Here are some minor corrections Jon-Yin would like us to note:
The Big Mistake: Gambling income is reported on a W-2G, not a 1099-G. A 1099-G is for certain government payments (unemployment).
The Mistake No One Cares About: I started hearing about IRS automation being an issue for low-income taxpayers in 2017. During the podcast, I initially said it's been an issue for the past four years, then switched to seven. Four years is probably more accurate.
The Thing I Wish I Said: Our income guidelines are linked to your current income, not your income during the tax year at issue. If you made lots of money in 2020 but are currently unemployed, we could take you on as a client.
