minus-squarejj4211@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoSounds like having any 1099 is ‘too complicated’. So anyone with any sort of savings account that managed to get $10 of interest over a year… So if you have like a thousand dollars in a boring old savings account you are ‘too complicated’.
