On Saturday, T. had martial arts, soccer and went to a birthday party in Tewksbury (the bowling alley). On Sunday, he went to track and both kids went to the horse. I had a nice chat with M. I had visits with M (walking partner) both days.
I was searching on reasons why one’s passport might be revoked, and stumbled across the implementation, this year, of policy on revoking one’s passport because one owes the IRS a bunch of money. In the “discretionary” waiver section was, “deceased”. So, basically, if someone owes the IRS $51K or more and doesn’t qualify for things like “is in a payment plan” or “qualifies for innocent spouse relief” or “in the military, in a combat zone” etc., you can still hang onto your passport if the IRS decides to let you keep it ... if you are dead.
I can’t even figure out how that makes sense.
Here are some links for you! Maybe you can explain it to me.

My current theory is this: the deceased thing applies generally to the “is it considered seriously delinquent” part. And the “is it considered seriously delinquent” can result in passport revocation. But it can result in all kinds of other things to (or not), and that is where the deceased thing makes sense.
