Tax Day

I completed our tax filings today. It took several hours, mostly working through all of the possible deductions only to find that the standard deduction was something like twice my total deductions. Given that there have only been two times in my life when I had enough itemized deductions to justify using them, maybe I'll just give up in the future and skip trying.

Because of the retirement pension from XPO, I do owe a small amount, but not enough to generate an underpayment penalty. I've scheduled the payment for April 15 by direct debit from my bank account and have electronically filed my return, so I think that's it for this year.

Nevada does not have state income tax, so that's one thing with which I did not have to contend.
