I dread filing taxes. At best, after preparing my return, I learn that I’ll get a modest refund, one that isn’t worth all the trouble. At worst, I get news like I did last year.

Thanks to the 2017 tax overhaul, I discovered that the Internal Revenue Service hadn’t been gobbling up enough of my paycheck week by week. I owed the Treasury an unexpected bill. What fun!
