Yesterday, I got our taxes done. It took less than an hour. We have to pay more to the Feds. Got to pay for all those new tax cuts for the rich. We do get money back from the state, so that the net turned out pretty close to zero. Anyway, its done. I try to get our taxes done early to help avoid identity theft. I don’t know how effective a strategy this really is, except there have been no problems so far. For me, tax season begins when all the W-2s and 1099s have arrived, which they did last Saturday. I used TurboTax, because I always have. It is sort of force of habit now. I do not like paying taxes. Who does? But I understand the necessity of it. Unlike certain billionaires. Tesla paid no taxes last year. Now, between Social Security and Medicare, we are getting a return on our decades of investment. I do not care to see it stolen by a bunch of rich dudes, who only want to become richer. All at my expense.
