Since there hasn't been anything extraordinary that has happened in my life -- didn't get married or have a child, haven't bought a house -- my wages and dividends have been the same things that have happened to me for years now. I still need an annual reminder on what to do, but once I get that reminder, I think I've got it. (Of course, I also thought I "got it" for years before realizing I needed to take a standard deduction, but let's not get into that.)
I got all my forms, I wrote down my amounts, I made sure the math was right, and, crossed fingers, I think I have filled out all the paperwork completely and accurately. I sent in both my federal and my state returns Thursday evening -- still a paper person myself -- and, if I did it right, I will get a nominal amount of money back from the country, and pay a relatively hefty amount of money to the state, which I will pay electronically tonight. Could be worse, but hey, taxes is the price one pays for living in a civil society.
