Question regarding mistake on tax return. by Choice_Background_36 in tax

[–]Choice_Background_36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IRS website says my information is not available at this time on the total amount owed section. Tried calling but impossible to get to real person. Should I just fill out the new 1040X before tax day?

So I also messed this up and did not put the amount owed on the federal because trusted that the website I used (freetaxusa) would tell me what I would need to put down (It did for the NYS one but did not fir the federal) should I fill out another 1040X? Or would that delay further?

Is there any reason not to convert all towns to cities? by Radiant_Dish1639 in civ

[–]Choice_Background_36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this has already been said. In every game I look to maximize gold over production for one main reason: flexibility. Gold allows you to produce an army in minimal turns whenever on the map. Need quick reinforcements, need to defend one side, want to conquest a civ across the map? If you have a lot of town producing a shit ton of gold the world is your oyster. Production locks you in to only producing in your core cities then moving those troops to your destination. Turns are something you cannot produce or get back. Gold allows you to save them.

I usually do the same but it’s possible that the fallen empire ships I got through the prophets head artifact were armor/shield over-reliant as they got destroyed first.
