He has like a little apartment in his research lab.

He's like all alone.
And he starts doing his taxes.

Why would you do your taxes?
Maybe he was bored, you know?
Maybe it's like he didn't do his taxes for so long because he always had to treat Hitler.
And then he thinks like, no, what am I going to do?
You know, I'm just going to do my tax.
At least I'm going to do my taxes now.
