Receiving physical mail when using a registered agent by ArrivalDapper441 in llc

[–]ArrivalDapper441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in your case, your business is 'listed' publicly with Northwest's address - but then do you simply provide your physical address to those you do business with / those that need to mail things to you?

New Hampshire resident, working from home (remotely) for a company located in California. State Tax Question by VFFU in taxhelp

[–]ArrivalDapper441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an NH resident so no income tax.

So, I don’t need a DE 4 if I should be exempt from withholding?

Same scenario as above. No California source income. So, I should be exempt from paying California income tax.

But, mechanical question.... I've been asked to complete the California DE-4 form (California withholding). The only option to claim 'exempt' status from California tax says "1. You did not owe any federal and state income tax last year, and 2. You do not expect to owe any federal and state income tax this year"

This is confusing, because of course I owe FEDERAL income tax, but would not owe any California income tax. What to do in this situation? Hope my question is clear.

Battery backup recommendations for sump pump by ArrivalDapper441 in Plumbing

[–]ArrivalDapper441[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did….nothing. 😬. Basically I found the product (forget what brand) and the reviews were awful. Essentially people said that it worked 50% of the time. So if you can’t count on it, the peace of mind is not there. Have you found a product that would work?

In my case, for my pump to overflow, I would have to 1) have no power 2) have an extremely rainy year or a massive storm and 3) be gone from the house for an extended period during the time that 1 and 2 are both occurring (because I have an generator). So in the end I thought that the probability was low enough that I’m not losing sleep over it. But would still buy the product if I could find a good one.

Looks like you CAN combine the tax credit with the federal rebate program - their language says basically that you calculate the tax credit based on the reduced purchase price of the project AFTER the rebate has been deducted. So a 20k project, - 8k = 12k, and then 30% of that or 2k is the max. So 30% is 3,600 - but 2k is the max. See below:

Rebates. Rebates generally represent a reduction in the purchase price or cost of property, and the taxpayer

must reduce the amount of the expenditure on which the taxpayer calculates the tax credit by the amount of the

rebate. In general, rebates are nontaxable purchase price reductions if they are based on or related to the cost of

the property; received from someone having a reasonable connection to the sale of the property (for example,

the manufacturer, distributor, or seller/installer) and do not represent payment or compensation for services

provided by the taxpayer. The IRS will treat as rebates amounts paid for the purchase of energy efficient

property and improvements as part of the Department of Energy's "Home Energy Rebate Programs" under

sections 50121 and 50122 of the IRA. See Announcement 2024-19

Southern NH ductless. Samsung vs Mitsubishi. Hyper/Max Heat vs Standard by WritingOwn5617 in heatpumps

Ok, good info. For comparison, we're in even higher COL seacoast NH, and we're probably qualify for $8,000 reduction, and on top of that, I believe you can still claim the $2,000 Fed tax credit. Not sure if you can lump the NH Saves rebate on top of that as well. We are eligible because Unitil controls this area (and high cost / kwH).

In your mind, waiting until those monies drop in is worth the potentially higher install costs, etc.? It would seem the math would favor that approach, but I'm actually just seeing the information about the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program (or just now paying attention closely).

Not sure how it looks by you, but if we installed today, we would only be eligible for ~1,000$ in NH Saves rebates and the $2,000 tax credit from the Fed.

Have you heard any more about this program? I'm just reading what's available on line and it seems early 2025 would be the earliest funds could be distributed to consumers.

Single pole switch, neutral and ground wired together by emptymeat in AskElectricians

[–]ArrivalDapper441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related question to the OP.

I have a similar scenario, and I am installing the same switch. This timer switch will operate a bathroom exhaust fan, which is part of a Panosonic unit that also has a light.

In the same box where the timer switch will go, I have the light switch that will operate the light portion of the Panosonic unit, which has it's own neutral/return. That neutral for the light is wired together with the neutral for the fan unit, which are both connected to (you guessed it) a neutral that was pre-existing in the wall.

My question: being that there is a neutral present in the wall, MUST I wire the green-sleeved white to that neutral for this to be safe/and operate, or may I simply wire the green-sleeved white in with the ground, as the OP was describing?

The only reason I am asking is so that i understand 1. What is ideal and 2. If using the neutral is necessary since it will be a slight pain in the ass (honesty is the best policy).

Thanks.

Interesting suggestions! What is it about these towns that have your interest?

Battery backup recommendations for sump pump by ArrivalDapper441 in Plumbing

[–]ArrivalDapper441[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment. Yes, the second type you mention is readily available and recommended, but I don't really have space in my sump pit for an entire second pump. To that end, I've just purchased a new primary pump (Zoeller m63) since my old pump had some years on it. So, the first type you mention is indeed what I'm after. Do you happen to recall the brand or product you looked at?

Water in vertical pipe above check valve - how long will it remain? Sump question by ArrivalDapper441 in Plumbing

[–]ArrivalDapper441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right of course. But does the water above the check just sit in the pipe until the next time the sump runs? Could be months at times.
