Did my taxes for years like this. Had a particularly challenging year and hired an accountant who literally played the guessing game in front of me - “if we don’t know the answer to x then we’ll just put y.” He also told me that no guarantees but the IRS doesn’t really go after small irregularities on taxes. Guess that advice and hiding behind his CPA shield was worth the money?
