I'm doing the family taxes, and two things stand out. First, I don't know that we needed $13,000 stimulus from the federal treasury last year. Second: The $9,000 in INTEREST ALONE we paid our mortgage company doesn't quite feel like a crime, but it is upsetting.

I'm including the advance child tax credit in the stimulus figure. Without it, the stimulus was $10,000, which also feels excessive, since we didn't see our income suffer due to the pandemic. But congrats to the banks, for the debt paid down and the interest collected.

Also this is the first year I've had to take my glasses off to read the tiny print on tax forms. I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear my trousers rolled.

#ncga / #ncpol tax twitter, are any of these tax refund contribution options new?
