High Finances

If you noticed the advertisements on this blog.
Feel free to click on those links. I earn a few pennies every time you do.

Was a bit on edge in regards to finances recently, but now I'm quite content.
Social Security raised my monthly stipend by $66 effective January.

I started to panic when I had not received tax papers from my retirement income.
I asked them to send the information to me, here in Thailand, and while you're at it, change my address.

They made a whole federal case out of this address change. They sent me these federal forms.
Fill these forms out and return them by April 20, or we will increase your tax deduction to 30%.
If you are a U.S. citizen, don't use this form. Mail us and we'll mail you a different form.

That got done in time, my next benefit check was increased by $160.
Panic, am I going to pay more taxes at the end of the year?

No, it's the revised tax code, I get to pay less taxes. Thanks UNCLE SAM.
Oh yes, another tax revision is on it's way. Thanks again UNCLE SAM.
