An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Spent 10 minutes with my SO, moving our shared deductions between us to see which distribution resulted in the lowest amount of taxes. Turns out that the tax authorities are pretty good at what they do, as the best distribution was what they'd already prefilled.

Despite having very different income, no matter how we moved the numbers, the numbers at the bottom didn't change in a manner where the total would result in a higher refund.

So we both ended up filing our taxes with no changes to the prefilled values.

EDIT:
TIL that the Norwegian tax authorities appear to have an official youtube channel. There you can see an example in English how it's done. Can't wait for them to have a youtube reaction face thumbnail or a collab with MrBeast.

Norway, by the way.

I get an SMS each year whenever my preliminary taxes are ready. I then log in and get presented with a form listing different sections relevant to me: loans, paychecks, any dependants, etc. Each section comes prefilled with all the numbers, so I just have to glance over to make sure they didn't miss anything or any relevant deductions.

I can submit a correction if some of the numbers are wrong for some reason, or add any sections that they've missed.

The deductions in my OP were mostly about me and my SO having fours kids together. By default, deductions like this is split 50/50, so we tried moving the numbers to see if we managed to get a better total. Turned out the difference was neglible.
