Yesterday I got a letter from the IRS, a form CP5071. It said I had to verify my identity with them for them to continue processing my tax return.

The life and times of Toby
I won two art pieces from my Uncle Tom’s estate auction. They will go on my walls along with my Uncle Joe’s and other art.
Continue reading post "#4864"Another of my uncles, Tom, passed away, and they’re now having the first auction of some of his stuff. It’s an online auction. I am bidding on one of the wolf art pieces to add to my wall art from Uncle Joe’s estate. There’re records, tools, figurines, art, yard tools, electronics, a Cadillac, and just a variety of stuff. Probably approaching 300 lots. Ending tomorrow evening. Stuff’s in Brunswick and I don’t think there’s shipping. I don’t get any money from this estate, but my Mom and her siblings will.
Done with another tax year. I was hoping to get it done a little earlier, but at least it wasn’t right up to the wire like it has been sometimes.

problem
My car (2013 Impreza) wouldn’t start the other day. It had been near 0°F overnight. The accessories seemed to work just fine, but nothing from the starter, not even a weak turn over and then die. Jumping with my NOCO jumper failed. Based on some possibly inaccurate results from a multi-meter and charger, 10V and only taking 2A, I bought a new battery.
