I filed using Taxslayer. It went something like this:

"Do you own land?"
"no"
"Have you purchased a boat in the last three years?"
"no"
"Do you own a company or small business?"
"no"
"Did you earn in excess of $100,000 in the past financial quarter?"
"no"
"Do you own a farm, ranch, or other food-producing facility?"
"no"

... and so on for about an hour.

Thank you very much, TurboTax, for saving my bacon.

Every goddamn year, this. Except bacon is getting a bit expensive.

That's why you invest in tactical bacons.

I was told that I was handsome. I was also told by the same person that I look kind of like Lee Harvey Oswald, which I think is hilarious.

I've been told that strangers are asking my friends about me, because I'm apparently the mysterious person who goes around campus in a longcoat.

I've been told my student ID picture makes me look like a wannabe Unabomber.

Reminds me, I've been feeling like a tryhard edgelord lately, since I'm walking around in an inherited (but pristine) leather coat, a silk scarf and aviators. April weather be weird, yo.

That sounds like more work than doing the tax form by hand.

Seriously though, if you're an average unmarried 18-20something you have maybe ten or twelve lines that actually matter. Less if you're unemployed.

Did you know that a video game will display any texture you tell it to?

Discovered the existence of chocolate-dipped bacon strips.

...actually, I thought it was ridiculously salty, so much so that I couldn't even taste the chocolate or bacon, but done well, it could be a thing of beauty.

I have a new favorite Wikipedia article title.

Played Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode for the first time in a very long time. Started as an unskilled Elf in a tree. Struggled briefly to figure out the new climbing system to descend from the treetop, listened in on some conversations about neighboring kingdoms the local elves were having, and set out with my wood shield and sword in search of Dwarves. Failed in my attempts to hunt and eat some boars, and began to starve and dehydrate until I stumbled on a patch of wild spinach and some muddy water that kept me going. Journeyed for a few more days, climbing into trees to sleep at night, and scaling cliffs using roots and rough rocks. Eventually reached a tunnel spiraling down into the mountains, descending into the tunnels to find a shop full of old cheese and a mysterious lack of a shopkeeper. Ate my fill, and eventually wandered into a dark smeltery chamber warmed by open magma vents, hoping to find someone to talk to. Instead, suddenly Dragon. Ate my foot in a few seconds while I swatted feebly with my wooden sword. I tried to crawl away under my shield, before I caught fire, bled out, and it presumably ate the rest of me.

Still as convoluted as ever, but it's quite cool just how robust and deep a fantasy adventure generator/simulator it's become. The depth and breadth of options for interaction with the environment, and the sense of history and place it creates for a narrative with no author (in the traditional sense), is really impressive.
