The narrative follows Lori "China" O'Brien, a big-city police officer and martial arts instructor who resigns in grief after accidentally shooting a teenager in the line of duty. Seeking peace, she returns to her quiet hometown of Beaver Creek, Utah, only to find it under the thumb of a corrupt crime boss, Edwin Sommers. When her father, the town's sheriff, is murdered by Sommers' men, China takes up the mantle herself, running for sheriff to dismantle the criminal organization through sheer physical prowess.

Released in 1990, China O'Brien serves as a pivotal bridge between the high-octane world of Hong Kong action cinema and the American B-movie market. Directed by Robert Clouse—famous for helming Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon—the film was designed to establish martial arts champion Cynthia Rothrock as a leading action star in the United States after her successful run in Asia.

    AM I GOING TO HAVE TO PRINT THE PDF FILE IT CREATED?

    1. If you file your tax return electronically, you should not have to print it. You can keep an electronic copy for your tax records.

  2. I am seeing conflicting information about the standard deduction for a single senior tax payer. In one place it says $$16,550. and in another it says $15,000.00. Which is correct?

    1. For a single taxpayer, the standard deduction (for 2024) is $14,600. For a taxpayer who is either legally blind or age 65 or older, the standard deduction is $16,550. For a taxpayer who is both legally blind AND age 65 or older, the standard deduction is $18,500.

      For 2025, the standard deduction for single taxpayers (without adjustments for age or blindness) is $15,000.
