Been really busy, unexpectedly on top of all esle.

Just discovered, to my dismay, the hallway and living room are some sort of yellow or light taupe (I'm not gay enough to really know colors, but when something looks brown I know you call it taupe to sound like you know something about color or design). I didn't notice in the bright sun, but could see it this evening. Do I expand my task? Sigh.

On the other hand I think she left me 2 sets of 2 chairs, a small stepladder, the polyurethene she was staining the quarter round with, plastic sheeting, and painter's tape.

I ran turbotax and it only found a $30 credit for some weird phone thing that I didn't, and noted LTC is deductible on state tax. It didn't justify its cost over my own work, so I didn't pay for it.

How much time did it save doing the prep? Or, had you already done the paper taxes? The time saved is usually the win for me.

I already prepared my own. I might even consider it if it didn't ahve this bug where it somehow thinks I paid an additional 13k in state taxes, and will not let me adjust the amount.

I did my taxes manually first and turbo as an afterthought or experiment to see if it could do better than me. If it saved me money I was interested. Time I will sacrifice for money sometimes.

I'm sorry you found more that needs painting. I sure wish I was closer so I could help you.

Next time I can ask my grandfather if he'd be willing to do your taxes for you since he's a tax accountant. He isn't taking any new clients, but he might take one for me.
