    My tax documents will be getting a new address this year. Switching from Saint Louis, Missouri to Coarsegold, California.  Everything is so different, I'm sure my taxes will fit right in.

    My husband died in March 2023.  He was 76.  Married 49 years.  I've got most of the finances, IRA and 401K switched over to me.  Still have some more to do.

    I installed additional solar panels on my home.  I'm hoping to be able to get a tax credit.

    Unfortunately, I have been diagnosed with stage 4 ovary cancer with metastatic cancers all over her body, including many bones and the breast. My oncologist has given me a terminal diagnosis of a few months to a few years of life left. I am currently doing Chemo treatments and will be bed-ridden for the next 4.5 months because the bone cancer is in my legs and lower back and in other places. After Chemo, there will be surgeries to remove the cancers, then radiation to heal the bones, and other unpleasant things we don't want to think about yet.
    Everything depends on whether or not the Chemo improves my condition.

    This obviously affects my tax situation with all the medical bills and loss of income along with affected everything else I had worked hard for and that is slipping away.

    My retirement last year is certain to change my taxes.

    My daughter is getting married this year! So we won't be claiming her anymore!

    Changed jobs.  Went from an HDHP with an HSA to a more typical health plan with an FSA.  Signed for a mortgage at the end of September, so that will affect 2024 and beyond taxes.  Phasing out my side hustle.  Student loan payments resume, so I'll be able to declare the interest.  Lots of changes, and Uncle Sam wants the lowdown on all of them.  Lol!
