A rare thank you to the fine folks at the IRS.

Hey, you, anonymous IRS worker. I know you probably think everyone hates you, but not me. In fact, you probably hate people like me: I can't do math, even with a calculator. Yet I still try to do my own taxes every year. What can I say? I'm too cheap to pay H&R Block. And due to my fear of sending personal information over the Internet, I still file by snail mail, as if someone couldn't just as easily steal my Social Security number off a piece of paper. It's hard to imagine someone spending the time to check my tax forms line by line, but apparently that's what you did. And you discovered that I had completely forgotten line 42. That's the $3,300 credit that everyone gets — at least everyone who makes less than $112,875. You redid my math for me, and, as a result, my tax refund was several hundred dollars more than I'd anticipated. Anonymous IRS worker: I love you.
