Taking a few moments to just relax. Taxes were filed, rejected, filed again, rejected again, before I realized TurboTax had made some major errors, which their support community says has been happening a lot this year. I'm trying another service, and if they're still rejected, I'll mail 'em in. It'll take longer to get my refund, but that's the way it goes.

iirc irs.gov has a new alternative this year, with forms that are basically fill-in PDFs that do the math, and you can file them electronically for free.

I use TaxAct and have never had any problems. Also, I think you can efile right on the IRS website too.

Oh, great.

Why did you suck at catering??

I did too little planning, had too little experience, and really didn't understand how to scale menus for large quantities. It took me 20 years to stop really horribly cringing about the terrible dinner I catered for the local water-polo team. Oy.
