I'm a little late to this thread, but maybe someone will still find it
useful. Apparently, I got this off a website a while ago:
#######
# Float functions from:
#
http://wiki.43folders.com/index.ph/Remind_FAQ#How_can_I_handle_to-do_lists.3F
#######
FSET float(y,m,d) trigger(MAX(realtoday(), date(y,m,d)))
FSET due(y,m,d) "(" + (date(y,m,d)-trigdate()) + ")"
If I have a recurring to do, like the original tax example, I have an
entry like this in my remind file:
REM [float(2016,3,20)] TAG noweight MSG 1st real estate tax due
[due(2016,4,30)]
The first 'float' is the date it starts showing up in wyrd or my
reminder list, and the 'due' is (not surprisingly) the date it is due.
When I do it, like pay the tax, I edit .reminders to update. For
example, I'd bump the above entry up to 2017.
Hope this is helpful.

Remind isn't really built for being a to-do list. It's good for
tasks that you do on the same day every week, but it's especially
not designed for checking things off and not displaying them again
(unless you like editing your data files constantly).
I've just started playing with taskwarrior https://taskwarrior.org/download/
and so far I really like it. It's very remind-ish , with recurring
tasks and advance-warning options. Sadly, it does *not* have hoilday-
avoidance scheduling options. But it's still pretty cool.
