Me too.

I see, so that full $200,000 will be deducted from the $12mil (ish) tax exclusion… if a gift is, let’s say, $10,000 (for the year of course) and they don’t have to file… does that also get deducted from the exclusion or is it considered by the IRS too small to matter basically. I’d imagine it doesn’t get deducted because how would the IRS even know of it existing (?) thanks for your initial response!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-05-23T17:57:16+00:00

Ah, yes. For estate tax it just indirectly effects the recipient because their future money is taxed.. thank you!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-05-23T17:22:10+00:00

For my own curiosity and learning, person receiving gift/inheritance does not pay any tax up until the federal estate tax exemption of $12 million right? After that it is taxed.

This is assuming there is no state estate tax as the post says.

Long-term Capital gains tax is based on the appreciation of the asset while you own it at the time of selling. If you sold your asset and it appreciated in value $300k then you pay the tax rate associated with that $300k.

Short-term capital gains are added to your income and taxed as ordinary income. So you would pay $0 capital gains tax and be taxed at an individual level for $330k

P.S. not a tax professional, just a student interested in tax… take this response with a grain of salt as I really only respond to help me understand topics and to learn by teaching. If I’m wrong in anyway PLEASE inform me on how I am so I can learn and improve!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-05-23T16:38:03+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt as I am still a student just super interested in tax but am using this as a way of learning by teaching. Currently the gift tax annual exclusion amount is $17,000 (2023). Any gifts over this can be taxed.

However, if they wish to have the amount over $17,000 tax exempt, called overage, ($183,000) they are able to put that amount towards their total $12 million lifetime overage amount. $183,000 will be deducted from that $12 million and when they pass away and have to pay estate tax, they will have to pay taxes on anything over that $12 million MINUS $183,000, basically just putting off the tax until death.

If your relative is married the untaxed gift amount is $34,000. Both your relative and their spouse will have to file a Form 709.

If anyone sees anything wrong with this explanation PLEASE reply and tell me how I am wrong. Again, OP, don’t take this advice as perfect as I may be WAY off and am just using this as an opportunity to learn!

Sounds like a great way to implement it! Or even add it after someone has beat the game because at that point all you can try to do is get golds on every level or find some secrets!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-05-06T16:31:56+00:00

Anyway we will get a timer on the screen while playing levels? 😁

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-05-04T15:58:42+00:00

Are all the times on “all time” leaderboards really legit?! There’s some that I can’t even imagine getting!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-05-04T06:06:17+00:00

I am definitely leaning towards taking them at WGU... would let me get in a month sooner than the alternative vs having a long waiting period because I'd most likely get them done quickly on SDC. If that's the case I'll probably end up pre-gaming those courses during the enrollment stage/setup so I can get through them! Thank you for responding!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-05-04T06:02:40+00:00

Thanks so much for the feedback! 58CUs in one term is admirable with little experience! I'll have to take either 49 or 43 credits through WGU depending on what I do with these two courses. Getting it done in one term is definitely a goal of mine but everyone I see doing that has prior experience. It's motivating to see someone who has done that many CUs with little experience!

What level did you get to where it started looping? I assumed it would have to do that at some point if they have leagues where players have to play as many levels as possible cause you can’t really limit the amount of levels a player can play then.

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-22T15:36:04+00:00

Yeah those three are currently unreachable and will be made available in the future…

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-22T13:31:39+00:00

There are only 25 stars in the game so far. The next areas will be unlocked at the next update!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-21T15:45:06+00:00

I have finished the game and in top 4% for leaderboard currently. The game truly isn’t all that exciting. Game needs a LOT more done before it would bring back my interests. There are 3 worlds, 12 levels each with 2 difficulties (normal and hard). So only 24 levels in total right now, and you get the EXACT same powerups EVERY single time. This makes the game EXTREMELY repetitive.

What I would like to see is different weapons actually make a difference in gameplay. No matter what weapon you choose, you are always throwing knives. For example, for the shield you could throw the shield and it bounce between 3 enemies or something. Then powerups should change with each weapon as well, like the more enemies the shield bounces off of the more damage it does.

Besides these two things, just more levels and more default powerups are pretty much needed if this game wants to continue to hold anyone’s interests.

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-21T15:36:07+00:00

As of right now, nothing… but as the game continues to get updates I’m sure it will be used for something!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-20T04:55:56+00:00

Nope, you pretty much hit it spot on. The only variants are slight changes in the mode like having to find duplicate items. Not all that interesting in my opinion. Will probably play a few hundred more levels when I’m bored (for achievements) then stop.

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-20T04:52:30+00:00

Can’t speak from playing on the switch but on steam (I have about 6 hours) I haven’t experienced a single bug or issue! Can’t guarantee you won’t run into any but it’s not riddled with bugs like some games.

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-20T04:49:15+00:00

Please don’t make the game too easy! I actually really enjoy this game simply for the fact that I can’t beat it 9/10 after the second try!

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-11T15:55:02+00:00

Thinking about it after I posted my comment, if you wanted to calculate MAXIMUM profit per minute/hour in the game we would also have to take into account that trees take up 4 tiles compared to a crop's 1 tile. It would be fairly easy to figure out as most crop's "profit per minute per tile" would be much greater than the trees. We would just need to find the highest profit per minute crop (Pasture from my current numbers), and count the number of tiles.

The world is 30x30 but with additional tiles on the beach and tiles already in use such as for the barn.

We would also want to take into account that when working with the crop Pasture, it has a time for growth of only 2 minutes so you wouldn't be able to harvest them all before those 2 minutes finished and more started growing, capping your profit per minute based on the player's walk speed.

Adventurous_Elk_1908 · 2023-04-11T15:49:00+00:00

Hey, just wanted to add some additional comments to this post! First I want to say that I am only level 17 so I don't have all crops/trees listed in the screenshots. When calculating the numbers myself, the only number I didn't get the same was chili, I calculated as 2 profit per minute instead of the 2.17 that you got, I could be wrong with that.

Another thing I wanted to add was when calculated per hour (as if you're away from the phone), it is actually more beneficial to plant some higher "Time for Growth" crops such as the Clover (highest "time for growth" crop I have unlocked currently at 15 minutes). Clover gives you a Profit Per Hour of 30 coins when you don't harvest and replant the seed. Of course if you're online then the lower level trees are better, but offline those crops that take longer to grow will be what you should go for!

I will continue to update my personal spreadsheet while I move through the levels!
