I've always done my own taxes.
And my mom's when dad died.
And Dave's when he had income that didn't all go straight to the nursing home.
Funny that. I got a bill for the nursing home for $95 which I immediately tossed into the recycling bin. Before he died, I issued a stop payment on the February 2024 bill because they pre-bill for the month and I knew he was dying.
I got a call from the Corporate office about a week after he died. They were concerned that there was a stop payment on the check I sent. I explained to the representative why I did that. She looked up his record and told me exactly the balance owed (which was significantly less than what he was originally billed) and I immediately sent in that final payment.
I waited another month for any straggler bills to show up but nothing did. So I split what was left of his money 50/50 and mailed certified checks to his 2 rotten kids.
If that hellhole of a nursing home wants more money nearly a year later, they can contact his kids. I don't have it. And I HATE the nursing home for the terrible care Dave received while he was there.
