Speaking of taxes, has anyone been able to download the instructions for the Fed...

The final version is not released (and the filing window doesn't open until Jan 27).

There is a draft version of the 1040 instructions, but beware that things may change, if, for example, new legislation is passed.

Thanks so much for the information!

My 2018 copy of the 1040ES for estimated tax payments states.

"You don’t have to make the payment due January 15, 2020, if you file your 2019 tax return by January 31, 2020, and pay the entire balance due with your return."

So, if the window doesn't open until Jan 27, it looks like I'll be making the Jan 15 estimated payment. I'm surprised that window doesn't open until Jan 31.
