My son received his and my wife and I received mine. yippee.
Because the GA dragged its feet and didn’t bring the state standard deduction in line with the changes at the Fed level, I owed the state over $800 on May 1. And because I didn’t benefit from itemizing on the 1040, I HAD to take the VA standard deduction. The paltry $221 received doesn’t even come close to what the numbers should have been. I’m still out just under $600 as I have never owed the state more than $100 in any given year since 2008.
This is a feel good move by the state, primarily the GOP leadership in the GA, to say, “Hey, you got a windfall because we are so good at managing things.” Horse feathers!

You never listen, do you.
I told you you should have started a hedge fund.
But, no.

I did. But then my wife decided she wanted trees instead of hedges.

On the other hand, the Feds’ standard deduction more than covered your State and Local Taxes, so at least you didn’t have to pay taxes on taxes.

Well, my NET tax bill for 2018 ended up with my out-of-pocket being minus $200 or so.
