So I did my taxes this past weekend. Nothing really changed in 2018 from 2017, except my refund being about $400 less. It'll be interesting when I do my taxes next year because of the salary change and being a homeowner. Is it sad I'm a little excited about it?
I also got irritated because I did my father-in-law's taxes. Not only is his AGI in retirement like $80k (mostly pensions and such, very little from his IRA), but he overpays his taxes way too much and is getting a $7k refund. He has also made some dumb decisions with his taxes in the past, always filing late, so I wasn't able to efile his. Hopefully me doing everything as it should be done this year will mean I can efile next year for him.
