re: How are the results of your tax returns coming along?

Nope, not happening. Wait till you’re retired and have to make quarterly estimated tax payments for being considered self employed. Depending on investments payments can fluctuate wildly (mom gets a refund this year that covers this year estimated taxes in full and a substantial cash payment to her because previous years income was so much greater).

Point is, with so many retirees making substantial quarterly payments and not a single one demanding changes for several decades now, don’t look for any serious complaints to start.
