4. I overpaid on purpose for 2023

I got hit hard in 2022 because my husband died and I went through a lot of money paying for his care.

It was sickening to have to pay for hospiss (and no, it is not free!).

I found an AARP calculator that will work for everyone right here:

https://www.aarp.org/money/taxes/1040_tax_calculator.html?cmp=KNC-DSO-COR-Core-Money-Tax-NonBrand-Phrase-30851-GOOG-MONY-1040TaxCalculator-Phrase-NonBrand&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1f3CxsDkgwMVUy-tBh3f8Q-3EAAYASAAEgI4s_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I figured it out with the forms and a pen and the result was off by only $1.00 from the results that the above calculator provides.

So, I will be getting a refund this year for the first time in ages!

I'm proud of myself doing this w/o an accountant or TurboFux.

I hope the refund appears in my checking account soon as I can sure use the money!
