Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 We got our on-line password last Friday, so I went ahead and filled it out.....took maybe 10 minutes. A little disappointing, since I was killing time. Besides, I wanted to see all the personal questions that some were (apparently) protesting; didn't find any. I am wondering, they threaten to come to the house if you don't comply (a paper version is mailed to those who don't go on line). I wonder if that's changed with the current circumstances.

lew Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Did mine online, too. Got my taxes (Fed/State) sent in before they provided the extension. Heck, the IRS even cashed the check already! Link to comment
John Morris Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yep did our census, had a hard time finding out where our kids fit into the whole race thing. No box to check for them . Finally I had to write in "half white, half hispanic". I should of just wrote in "American". That is what we write in every year for our kids school enrollment applications. It's none of their business what race our kids are! And who cares! Link to comment
HARO50 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'm curious, John.... are you staying home from your job too, or are you considered 'essential? The other John Link to comment

The other John We are considered essential at our job John. So heading back out to the world tomorrow! I work for local government, county. So if our actual job description does not need us, (which I highly doubt, we have plenty of work to do) then we can help other services and stand in for them or with them. I am heading up another bridge overpass and interchange project out in the desert, and it's time critical, so I'll be out there for the next two years. Which is fine by me, in the desert, away from people and in the open air, hopefully less chance of getting the flu. How about you John, staying home or? Link to comment
Gene Howe Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Can't think of a better work environment for you, John. Good for you! Link to comment
HARO50 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 As some of you may remember, our son has been fighting colon cancer for about two years now. ANY infection at this point could be fatal! As a result, my wife and I are the only ones allowed to visit, and it is essential that we have no contact with anyone else. Our daughter leaves groceries at our front door, but stays twenty feet down the driveway to speak to us. Hopefully this will all blow over before long. John Link to comment

HandyDan Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I just did mine after this reminded me. It just came and was in the wait a day or so pile for any virus to die. I leave my mail and news paper sit a day before reading them since I don't know who handled them. Be smart they say. Link to comment
Artie Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Did the taxes and the census last week. Already got the refund from the state. Link to comment
Larry Buskirk Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Did the census yesterday, should have just checked other and stated "Mutt" for race, and let them figure it out! Still have to do the taxes, I do the old paper route. Link to comment
p_toad Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 did my census the other day and replied "american" on the race stuff. sheesh. still waiting for one of my tax forms to arrive. usually doesn't get here until the end of the month and it's a pain. Link to comment
FlGatorwood Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Responded to the census the day it came in the mail. I didn't have a problem with the race questions as I am a certified mutt. Had my DNA done last year and I am truly an international person. But when it came to the country of origin, I should have said "American" as I am 6th generation born American. I would hope that would put their knickers in a wad. Income taxes: Did TurboTax through my credit union. The IRS has already received it and I should get back about enough to buy a tank of gas by April 5, 2020. Here in Florida, we have no state income tax and H&R Block and TurboTax don't know that. Until about mid 80's, we didn't have tax on food or medicine. Now, it if is over the counter medicine or ready to eat food, it is taxed. John, I am so thankful that you still have a job and to me that is the perfect environment. I hope you and your family are safe during this. And, that goes for all others here that you and your families are free from this dreaded illness. Totally off topic: If this hydroxychoroquine works I am stealing some from the wife. She has taken 200 mg per day since 1993. She won't miss it. And, if anyone is taking this drug or Plaquenil, you need to see an opthamologist annually to ensure the retina is attached to the back of the eye. It can ruin your eyes, or kill your liver or kidneys. Link to comment
