So it turns out divorce would placate the IRS, but the bank won't cooperate. Spending a year dead for tax reasons would work, but has unsolved technical challenges. So I'm looking at plan Z, move to the USA.

@MissConstrue Preparing for our #tax filing, I just pulled up the Notices to see if Trump or DOGE did away with Obama era rule that makes certain income tax free for certain health care workers.

Luckily, it still does. If they had done away with it, we would owe an additional $12K in income taxes, self-employment (FICA), etc. #USPol

📰 Another riveting exposé: #XML, the marvel of modern #technology, has been hailed as a "cheap DSL"! 🚀 Because nothing says cutting-edge like a markup language first published in 1998. 🙄 Meanwhile, the #IRS is apparently dabbling in open source, because who doesn't want a community-driven tax estimator? Just the excitement we needed. 💸💻
