Yes, I agree Medicare A&B and TFL are the ultimate. Only pay Medicare premiums. Express Scripts you get 90 day supply for $13 (in 2024).
You should also sign up with the VA. You will get rated on disabilities and even receive compensation. They provide free medical care (I only use them for basic stuff, not bigger problems). They provide free Rx and mail ordering is easy thru MyHealthyVet. Free optical, free glasses (if you like basic style), free dental (if you have a rated dental issue like TMJ).
Thank you for your service.

Re: 2023 Taxes, How close were your estimates
When I did my H*R Block tax return in early Jan after the update on 5 Jan, it said I owed ~$600, so I made a payment of $300 to help offset when I filed. However, our inherited annuities had more basis than I estimated. As a result I will be getting a $353 refund from them. So close!

Sending Multiple Documents to the IRS - Together?
After finally receiving my dear deceased mom's tax refund (filed 2/17/22), I now need to send the IRS Forms 5495 (Discharge of Personal Liability) and 4810 (Request for Prompt Assessment). The whole experience was a nightmare and I had to have Sen Lankford's office intervene.
In sending in the forms, which I always do Certified, should I put both of them in the same envelope so that they are together? Both forms ask for a copy of her return and my Letters of Administration. I have made two sets which I will include with each form, but am wondering if sending together will get them both processed together, or is it wiser to send separately.
Thanks for any ideas!

Gave account info for direct deposit. After all this time, received a whopping $36.22 in interest on a $2204 refund. And of course we moved in Aug of last year so sent IRS Fm 8822 in August. Asked Senator Lankford's office to intervene on April 3. Had to provide all the documents again, letters of administration, 2 forms of ID, etc. And of course they mailed a physical check to my old address.

Yes I did get that "error" and made the change to 999000 for Schedule C!Did you by chance get asked to change your job code? A customer service rep noticed that the program had me change my code from 999999 to 999000, for the first time this year, and feels the current e-file program doesn't have that new code in their system ye[t]...

No, I'm just planning to wait until Mar 3 to refile. I also looked up the HRB changes and saw that it only updated 1040X, which I am not filing.Have you acquired any further information?
We'll see what happens next.
