@jdb at octodon.social I mean. Didn't know it would truncate that.

I think I'm settling in as @jdb - mostly because it's working with tusky and the other android apps aren't there yet.

I'm @jdb on mastodon.cloud and mastodon.cc. I think I'll stop there and just let other jdb's do their thing.

There's a lot of profit to be had by making tax preparation complicated; a few companies lobby to keep it that way. I've just had my taxes done by my credit union for about the same price as the usual software and could only be happier if I'd realized this service existed years ago.

Benefits: reduced stress, increased confidence in the result, didn't add $ to feed the system that keeps this process complicated and expensive.

Sorry to be so late in discovering this and passing it on.

Regarding @imchrisandrews query how to : if we fix gerrymandered districts voters will sort out the rest. I know the money bits are awful, but once representatives stop picking voters rather than the other way 'round democracy will start working again.
