I’m a glutton for punishment, so I generally do our taxes myself using TurboTax. It is, of course, an insanely irritating experience, only partly because of TurboTax.
Anyway, every year I am amazed at how bizarre things get, in particular the permissible California state deductions. This year, in passing, I noted such things as ride-sharing, low emission vehicles, and, of course, the newly introduced sea otter support deduction. I could really cut taxes payable, I bet, if I could somehow ride share with a sea otter in a Toyota hybrid. Oooooh!
