sistawendy: me at a house party cradling a taco like a baby (taco madonna)
I got my tax refund a week ago! And I didn't even file electronically! Good Sister the CPA said what I suspected: a Democratic Congress and president meant that the Internal Revenue Service didn't get starved for funds again, so they caught up. That suits me just fine.

Another thing that suits me just fine is that I wrote a Python script to deal with the complexities of both alimony and the mortgage interest deduction. The IRS must have liked the results just fine if they sent me a refund so quickly. And I've written the script in such a way that I can basically use it as long as I have a mortgage. I have in essence slain the dragon hydra that is the US tax code.

Speaking of Good Sister, she's done her own taxes but now she needs to do Mom's. Bizarrely, she needs to treat Mom's real estate as a rental, albeit a non-profit rental, and state income & expenses for it. Yet another way in which, if karma had mass, Good Sister would have noticeable gravity.
