I am going to start doing my taxes tonight, with TurboTax Deluxe+State. I think I got all the necessary papers together last night.
I have to admit that it's exciting to not know what to expect, for a change! I'll bet I am the only one here to fully appreciate the FUN aspect of having changes in our tax system. I know the tax changes weren't implemented just for the purpose of creating fun for retirees, but hey, variety is the spice of life as they say so why not enjoy it.

This time I have RMD's involved for the first time, and also much higher SS in the mix.... the infamous "tax torpedo".
I know I should be worried and upset, but gee, I can't help but find it interesting to have some different factors in the mix. Life is such an adventure - - and even doing taxes is an adventure this year!
