My condolences about your cat, Scrappy.
I have a lot extra withheld every paycheck because I don't miss the tiny bit extra every couple weeks but 26 paychecks' worth in the spring helps me with the big extra expenses that my parents inevitably run into. Now I'm wondering if the unexpectedly easy tax software messed up when filing, because I only got back about $300 less than usual. Maybe there's some "he's a middle-aged white dude from the South, unlikely to be a Liberal" algorithm that protected my refund.
That sounds very complicated, aurelia!!
Not for me so much since I've got a full time gig, but I'm seeing a lot of actors and directors who weren't aware of the changes until now.
I have to confess that I reported the wrong amount of income to Mass this year -- I did them at the same time, but then the Feds reminded me I hadn't added in my interest income, which is dozens of dollars. I didn't fix the MA filing, so I'm expecting them to come for their $1.50 any time now.
Thanks so much, dcp! I just logged in and it says, "Congratulations on filing individual 2018 tax return!" so I'm assuming I'm good.
(I also had to do it early so I could file it with the HealthMarketplace, and they usually start bleating if they don't get documents within the time frame, so.)
I'm so sorry about Squeaky, Scrappy.
Amy, check the details. A submitted efile and an accepted efile are two different conditions.

Looks nasty.
I'm so upset about Notre Dame.
