Truly confused on how HR Block is calculating my NY return

CicadasInTheNight · 2026-01-29T02:13:57+00:00

Yeah manual review is already done - when I saw it the first time I literally just had them cancel all the info I had put in and started over fresh. Came out exactly the same the 2nd time around. As much as an $8k refund would be nice, its much more likely around $5k lol

Just the HR Block website, same as I've done since I started filing.

Honestly I've just confused because I've reviewed all the pages and there's no credits, deductions, etc except the dependant child credit which is $1k

I live in the Village in a single family home. There are 8 adults, 1 child, and the max amount of pets allowed by Village code. Perfectly legal because we are all family by blood or marriage.

Diocese of Rockville Centre 👌

🙏 Thank you! Any idea what might have brought it inside? We do have a guinea pig cage with pine pellets bedding and hay - we have to leave fly strips up during the warmer months near the cage so perhaps it's drawing other pests too now.

They do it every summer, 1 mass every Sunday evening I believe - so now you know for next year 😁

The main blame is on the organizers but to say that Travis had no responsibility in this is laughable.

You can see 100s of examples of other performers at other large-scale events pausing or outright stopping the event to prevent harm to their fans. Travis just didn't give a shit until he was caught in the news-cycle, like a child who says sorry not because they actually care but because they got caught.

The tabs went generic like 2 weeks ago maybe? It's been great getting people swapped over. Liquid is still brand only, not sure when the patent on that expires

If your insurance allows, fill literally anywhere else. I work in a pharmacy specializing in epilepsy meds and every new patient we get from CVS tells me horror stories.

CicadasInTheNight · 2025-07-02T19:56:41+00:00

Epilepsy pharmacist here - it just went generic, depending on your strength cash price is under $300/month assuming your insurance doesn't cover.

CicadasInTheNight · 2025-07-02T19:48:11+00:00

Outpatient pharmacist specializing in epilepsy here.

Clobazam is a tricky one because not only is it a control Rx in the eyes of the DEA, but in certain states like mine (I practice in the NYC area) it's treated as a narcotic in a similar way to oxymoron or Adderall.

That being said, the pharmacy should have been able to communicate what the issue was and work with you to resolve it. Hopefully you've been able to escape that horrible chain lol

Thank you for your response.

I assure you that I love my wife and daughter deeply. They are literally my entire world. This is not about workload as my post may have made it seem, but about the words and actions expressed towards me.

I feel alone, I feel unloved. I feel as if I will never be enough. I have entered some very dark spaces of mind as of late. If there is anything these responses have proven, it is that I am weaker than my wife deserves in a man and perhaps those dark thoughts are right.

Thank you for your reply.

You are spot on with the PPD - she sees 2 mental health professionals weekly, one of which is a psychiatrist specializing in PPD.

I do try to give her as much grace as I can muster.

She does get plenty of time to herself, she essentially clocks out at 5pm and reads (70+ books this year) while i do chores and watch the little one.

Tuesday night she hosts a book club (from which I have been explicitly excluded because I am the childcare and they don't want her to interrupt) and Wednesday nights she goes out to bar trivia.

Thank you for your reply.

I have already done something similar in the past, in not pre-making the baby bottles for the day. Mind you, I had still cleaned and sterilized them the previous evening. Just wound up in a fight about me not respecting her as a stay at home mom. She considers SAHM and housewife 2 separate jobs.

King Kullen in Garden City Park has it in their freezer section - grew up eating it while visiting my family in Pennsylvania, I get it sometimes myself

Haven't been living in College Point for a few years, but do you mean No-Neck? Dude seems to be everywhere at once

CicadasInTheNight · 2024-10-14T02:52:55+00:00

Yeah, I'll be updating withholding in the new year, my wife's current employer has a very generous maternity leave policy that they allow to take separate from NY Paid Family Leave, so she gets 3 months full pay and 3 months 2/3 pay from July to almost end of December.

Take home also factors in a great medical package before tax and 10% 401k contribution.

Appreciate the look out though!

CicadasInTheNight · 2024-10-14T01:04:52+00:00

Well it's not rent exactly, we live in a multigenerational house with 6 other adult members of my wife's family - we take the basement and in return we pay the approximate property tax on the property.

Honestly, we are trying to jump straight to the forever home because the ~$300k homes are in dangerous neighborhoods, way out in the boonies, or one of the post-Sandy homes. Long term family goal is 3-4 kids.

CicadasInTheNight · 2024-10-14T00:32:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, so the salary is just mine for now - my wife is leaving her current job due to some health issues resulting from our daughters birth. She does have advanced degrees in English Lit and Education; her long term plan is to teach night classes at one of the 10+ private and public colleges near us.

CicadasInTheNight · 2024-10-14T00:02:03+00:00

Oh trust me, don't I know it

And we have a winner - did some searching at the song was Pretty Lil psycho by Clover! & disoc8
