That's from getting 1.5% on your chase freedom card and then converting the balance to utlimate rewards points?
A small nit but isn't your math slightly off?
To pay $1K in taxes, the fee is $18.70. So you get billed $1018.7 on your credit card. With the Chase Freedom card, you get 1.5 points per dollar so 1528 points. Divide the $18.7 fee by the 1528 points and it's 1.22 cents per point.
