Finances Part 2

 I decided to check the DRS website for my 1099-R today.  Didn’t really think it would be there yet, but to my surprise there it was.  So I opened up TurboTax and entered the information and some of my donations.  It looks pretty good right now.  I’m waiting for a few more forms and should be good to send it to the IRS.

Tax Refund
