I did my taxes in 2019 with then Credit Karma and I got back ~$800. In 2020 I did some international secondment so my firm did my taxes for me. I made more money in 2020 and got back about $1400. I was so confused. I didn’t change my w4. How is that possible? I’m must be doing something wrong. Should I have a tax professional to do my taxes?

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a pro review both years for peace of mind. So many factors go into what constitutes taxable income, there may be advantages you weren’t aware of. Or, on the flip side, there might have been some credits that were missed in 2019?

Parents want to send their children back to school not only for educational purposes but also for social interactions. I do understand that many children want that interaction with their friends and teachers. But I don't think it is going to be quite as rewarding as many think with social distancing and face coverings to be safe. No high fives, pats on the back, sharing earbuds to listen to a new song, or consoling an upset friend. Even facial expressions are lost. Tough times.

How to rebalance my portfolio? I bought a majority of my investments in the worst market conditions in 2020 and so maybe I’m just jaded by my own previous success/luck with that.

How to tell if you’ve held long enough to avoid short term cap gains?
