bill_schubertI get a daily mail notification message predicting what the carrier will put in my mailbox. Today is special.
First item: From US Department of the Treasury - clearly a check but I have no idea what it is about. The IRS does not, in my records, owe me any money but that is clearly the source. I've not filed this year but will be sending in money. I hate it when the IRS owes me money. Not as much as I hate it when I owe them money but close. Break even is the place to be.
Second item: William County Central Appraisal District - This being Austin, our house value has grown so fast that should the growth continue it will have doubled by the end of the year. Fortunately we refinanced the mortgage when rates were at their lowest but the taxes will reflect more of the ballooned 'value'. That piece of mail will reflect an increase but I don't yet know how much.
So a little give, a little take. My guess is they will not break even but one can always hope.
Today is a quiet one. Zoe and I went out early as is our habit when the weather allows. I will probably play with finances today. I don't have one tax report that will complete the collection so I can finish my taxes but I doubt I'll get it in time anyway. So, another year of sending in an extension request and however much money is required to keep the IRS happy. In the fall I'll get the final K-1 report and be able to close out the taxes which the IRS will not complete for another year or two. Fun with the government.
