Did you make any last minute tax moves in 2019

[ExGingi]

Rather frustrating that certain transactions need to take place months before I know the complete picture.

Based on a guestimate I put through a small ROTH IRA conversion (last year I did a large one, and my accountant was amazed at how I figured out the ability to do that for the right amount without ending up with a bigger tax bill - but then I had a better picture of my tax writeoffs for the year so was able to plan accordingly).

Did you make any last-minute moves?

Yeah, a 3k tax payment because I owe tons more this year.
Great tax cut.

What ever happened to the old adage "owing more taxes is a good problem to have".

That was based on making more money. I didn't work last year.

So the SECURE act doesn't help you? No earned income...

I am actually saving a ton due to trump's tax CUTS. 

That's the benefit of working.
