Hooray, tax person! Glad you have someone to deal with that for you! That seems like something that could quickly become a nightmare but might be much more manageable for someone who is not personally involved to work out

I got on the phone and talked to a tax person! He's pretty sure I don't owe money, but rather than attempt to respond myself, I'm going to send him all my documentation and pay him to handle the response to the IRS.
This seems like a good approach. I hope he can get it worked out with minimal bother to you.

Timelies all!
Planning on in-person early voting so I can be use my vote is counted.(Granted, I live in a very blue part of a blue state, but every bit helps)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I had this conversation recently like, "We just went in to vote in the presidential primary?? Like it was nothing?? Yes, it was March 3."
Yes, and here in Nashville it was also the day after a tornado ripped through our neighborhood and several polling places were closed due to damage, so everyone voted in one location. The lines were crazy -- I waited at least 2 hours, maybe more -- but also people were chatting and checking in with friends and neighbors and there was this great sense of the community pulling together to help each other out. Then just over a week later, lockdown.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Now I just need to figure out how to scan this IRS letter with my phone
The TurboScan app is pretty good.

I found internal recommendations for this tax person through work, so I'm glad I called and got the ball rolling. I don't have the spoons to respond to the IRS on my own, but I can handle scanning and uploading documents and paying a significantly smaller bill to someone who knows what he's doing.
The TurboScan app is pretty good.
Thanks, aurelia! I'll check it out.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Looks comfy, msbelle! (For you - I could wear a tank top practically all winter as long as my feet and legs are warm, so not for me). Enjoy! It's good to have a plan.
Also yay for a plan, Shrift! That's one of my favorite things about being a "grownup" - figuring out which things it's worth it to pay someone to deal with so I don't have to.
