I did not go to one of the "Hands Off" rallies, although there was one near me. I decided that I needed to get our taxes done, and I wasn't wrong about that. I'm glad that so many people turned out.
Our taxes are a bit complicated this year, in ways I did anticipate and in ways that I didn't. I'm working in three states, while living in a fourth. For part of the year, I had health insurance through the ACA exchange, and for part of the year through my full-time job. One of my part-time jobs, my Synod Appointed Minister job, has me as an independent contractor, so there are multiple tax implications.
I did TurboTax and hoped for the best. I earned more money than I expected when I applied for ACA health insurance, and that meant what we owe was even higher. Sigh. But we have the money, and I am glad to have a job that pays more, even if it means we pay more income tax this year.
I don't have much writing time this morning--time to get ready to go teach Confirmation class and then to preach and preside at Faith Lutheran in Bristol. It's the last Sunday of Lent--wow.
