Finally got it done and ready to mail

[bill_schubert]

I finished my letter to the IRS finally and have it ready to mail.  It is only going 30 miles away so it should be there Tuesday.  If they would only read it.

My suspicion is that I won't hear anything back from them at all, that they won't get to it in time.  If that is the case I'll have to decide whether to roll the dice and not pay what I don't owe (even though they think I do) or pay and just give them an interest free loan until they do process what will soon be my year old amended return.  

Meanwhile I'm on this site that has occasional gigs and I just applied for one.  It wants to know my experience with filing 2020 taxes using Turbotax.  Specifically they want my experience filing independent work (aka — 1099NEC) form using the program.  They didn't ask if I had ever supported TT so I think I'm eligible.  Should be an easy $150.

Other than that I'm just hanging out trying to get over Austin FC (aka — Groot) loss to LA yesterday.  It was not a bad game but for the two goals they scored.  For most of the game they looked a LOT better.  I think Groot got off lucky.

And watching the grass grow.  Really.  We had a terribly patchy back yard that is in the process of repair.  And the front had some weeds and the side does not get enough sun to grow anything other than the weeds.  So I added some seed to the back, weed and feed to the front along with a couple of spots that got some seed, and a different shade tolerant seed down the side.  Fortunately the big sprinkler in the sky gifted us with free water today and it is now sunny and humid.  I can almost hear the seed doing its thing.  Should be interesting.

Good luck! I hope they can straighten it out. How frustrating.

I'm really enjoying watching a lot of tennis ... I'm curious as to your thoughts on the new generation of players, men and women ... My choices for future legends are : CoCo Gauff, Iga Swiatek, Sebastian Korda, Jacob Sinner and Tsisipas. I wish I felt better about US Mens tennis. It appears Italian and Greek tennis are in much better shape.

I'm such a fair weather tennis watcher. I catch the majors and kind of zone out in between.

Are there any American men still playing? I thought they all quit. Seems like it.

Last year during the majors I really watched the women. That is where all the action is now days. I saw a few men's matches but I'm with you. I'm hopeful for CoCo but it is so early. She'll likely peak in 10 years. Halep, Osaka, Kerber and Barty. I'd like to say Brady but I think she's peaked. Swiatek is on the move and, of course, Serena is showing the long teeth.

It will be a fun set of tournaments to see who is on top after New York.

It will indeed! I'm disappointed in the American women as well. Sophia Kevin can't win a match to save her soul this year and Sloane Stephens isn't doing well either. Both are Grand Slam winners ... Anisimova, Brady and the other young Americans are competitive, but inconsistent. I wish Venus Williams would retire.

Sebastian Korda is American. Isner and Opelka are still playing ... Francis Tiafoe. But, they're all gone by the quarterfinals of every tournament.
