Thanks for the recommendation for FreeRaxUsa. I’ll check it out this year. Im using Turbo tax desktop at least one more time this year because it’s been around so long. I have a feeling they are trying to phase it out because they are pushing hard to use the online version. First I noticed the online version is free through CreditKarma and second, after I bought Desktop, they offered to let me try the online version for no additional charge. They also have some kind of deal with ADP.
I like the simplicity of rolling a 401K into the same place as all the other accounts. I admit I have not considered loosing the protections. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for the encouragemen to write. I made my first forum post awhile back and was thrilled that it got great responses. I have an idea for another and am composing my thoughts for it.

I plan to take as little as possible. I’m hoping it’s less than 4%. That way the calculations using 4% give me some buffer.

I have zero desire for a car like a Porches, Lamborghini, etc. I once road in a Ferrari. Most uncomfortable car I have been in.

I admit last year, I bought a tiny bit of IAU for fun, It’s gain has been a bit less than the market. Should have went with silver….
