A few weeks ago, around 8:45 A.M., I announced to Mr. AOW: "I'm headed upstairs to work on our tax return."
Mr. AOW replied in a downcast voice: "I won't be seeing you till tonight. And you'll be in a terrible mood."
That pattern — work on taxes for hours on end (data entry into Quicken, into customized categories for both my business and our medical expenses), followed by becoming the grouch of the year — has held for over a decade.
That is, until the tax reform law that President Trump sponsored took full effect.
At 11:45 A.M., I joyfully danced down the stairs. Mr. AOW was in shock — pleasant shock. I was ecstatic. I love that provision for the increased standard deduction.
Thank you, President Trump!
Another reason to thank President Trump... Public charge': Trump enforces rule linking immigrant welfare use to green card chances. Excerpt below the fold (emphases mine).
