Olaf lives in the state of Minnesota. In May 2023, a tornado hit the area and damaged his home and automobile.

Olaf and his wife, Anna, always file a joint return. Their 2022 tax return shows AGI of $180,000 and taxable income of $150,000. In 2023, their return shows AGI of $300,000 and taxable income (exclusive of the casualty loss deduction) of $245,000.
