Downside: I went to get my taxes done today, to the tune of nearly-two-hundred-dollars to have a professional give everything the once-over it needs. (There are complications due to the divorce and, this year, due to Spud being a college lad.)
Upside: I’ve learned that having a fully-dependent child in college is good for your chances at a rebate. Quite good.
Funnyside: The great State of Oregon is giving me a refund this year (unlike last year, ugh)… a whopping, extravagant, don’t-spend-it-all-at-once… seven hundred… cents.

Last year, I owed the government of Illinois an eye-watering $.17. I seriously considered sending them a check, but decided against it (in IL, anything under $1.00 doesn’t need to be sent in).
