       Gave up on the "saving" screen and refreshed. Got it to restart, but cannot convince TaxAct to count the information entered on my 1099-MISCs as income. Wut.

       Discovered that TaxAct had created two identical businesses and entered my expenses under one and income under the other. WHY.Deleted the duplicate business, re-entered expenses, yay fixed.

       Do NOT Google for "free tax prep", or search in any other way for it!  You will get directed to a site that claims to be free and then will probably tell you "oh, we have to charge you because [lie]."Don't go directly to a site that someone else told you works! It won't work.

       You need to go to http://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile and click FROM THERE. If the tax prep site sees you are coming from anywhere else, they will try to charge you. Because America's tax system is the worst.Free tax prep is only required for FEDERAL taxes. State may or may not be free.

       https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile is 100% the One Weird Trick Tax Prep Companies Don't Want You to Know.except it's not a weird trick, it's federal law, and tax prep companies are doing everything in their power to avoid complying. 😡

       Praising kids (or adults for that matter) for their accomplishments or their efforts is a compliment and a positive force. Telling them they have some nebulous inborn "potential" or "ability" just says "you deserve no  credit for this and/or you're wasting an unearned gift."

       I have no expertise on whether this is a particularly harsh message for ND people, but it ain't good for humans in general. Do not recommend, x_x

       Toots about "instance admins can read your DMs" have been going around.  This is true and you should be aware of it! You should also be aware that it's true of social media and email services broadly: the companies that run the service store your messages and can read them.

       But it did remind of a particular service that uses end-to-end encryption and therefore can't read your messages: Signal. If you are concerned about true privacy, good service to use. Also, their take on it entertains me: https://signal.org/bigbrother/cd-california-grand-jury/
