Thanks, Mouse - I did realize that the Monday postmark was OK, but thought that was one of those arcane bits of knowledge only we accountants find useful.

I'm about 15 months from being where you are, with no federal tax liability (unless the Republicans decide the rich are being overtaxed, still, and that we old people aren't paying our fair share.) I've just got to shed my part-time job and eliminate the W-2, and then I'm free to do a lot more backpacking and pay a lot less tax.
