No, I went back to "retrieve
my package of data and
copies of the tax forms". The "forms" were sent and received today since that is done electronically. Nor will I be writing/mailing checks. Those will be electronically withdrawn on the 4/15 (we opted not to wait the extra 90(?) days). Of course, there are already invoices, phone discussions and work sheets showing what we and the preparers did and why.
There is no postage, of course. As for standing in lines at the post office we don't do that, we have a mailbox that the post-person checks Mon-Sat. They also often deliver our mail on those days. About once a month we have to take stuff in our bocx to another house on the street. And almost that often, a neighbor will bring our stuff that they got. Apparently numbers in front of a street name are really confusing to mail carriers.
If someone wants to return something that has a pre-paid label, and it won't fit in the mailbox, we
still don't take it to the post office. We use the drive up window at a local computer store that has a mini-post office inside. So far, no bacteria nor virus' have been known to be transmitted via electrons through the wirse to and from a microphone or speaker.
Of course, if it absolutely, positively has to get there
and fast, I call one of the people who work to pay my retirement!!
There are no "personal" taxes in TH, only thing taxed seems to be interest earned from out of state investments. That went down to 2% this year, 1% next, gone in 2022. Of course, there are property (city and county), sales (city, county and state) and auto tag taxes...
I think you have the "stay clean" drill down well! Sounds a lot lot what we do. We order on-line from Kroger and stay in the car when it is delivered, pop the rear lid open and holler a big "Thank you"! Only have to get out if the lad forgets to press the "Close" button.
GD is taking some sewing classes from my wife. We have lots of scrap material and figure now is a great time to practice using the machine to make simple, pleated masks. I remembered I had a few masks that I occasionally wear when mowing the yard. I tend to mow without them; it's hot (and humid!) enough around here without wearing something to block any breeze!! 3 of them say something like "similar to N-95", the other 3 make no claims. HD/Lowe's/etc. are all "out-of-stock", of course. We figure we can wear one if we absolutely have to visit someplace with people in it.
Many clinics are asking folks to wait in their cars until time to actually see the doc. I hope we can do that for the rest of my life!
The worst place to go if you are healthy is a doctors office waiting room!
