Basically yes. Bought some normal-looking potatoes at a farm stand and they turned out to be purple inside lol. They were fine in the stew, was just surprised lol.

Terra makes these into potato chips. I like the mix with sweet potato, yukon gold and these in them.

Today I learned the Idaho tax board denied my energy tax credit on my 2019 taxes for my 98% efficient HVAC unit. If I bought Windows that were slightly more efficient and saved a few pennies it would be fine, but a HVAC system that uses half the gas and electricity isn't an energy saving home upgrade. Now I owe $966 more tax.

Ouch.

Georgia has a rural hospital tax credit where you can donate up to $5,000 to specific hospitals and it will be an equal state tax credit (the Feds don't allow it).

I have contributed to it for the past several years since it doesn't cost me anything and it benefits one of the hospitals in the system I work for. You have to pay it, and it comes back the next year as a full tax credit, or you could "underpay" your state taxes and not have it withheld from your check.

Technically, since I know what I give and what I owe (Georgia is a straight 6% income tax) I could change my withholding to avoid it coming out of my paycheck but I'm always afraid I'll get caught in some gotcha like you describe and I would end up owing the full amount plus the donation.

100C and 212F are the same too! Easy math for everything between. Especially 0C/32F which are also the same.
