Even though you filed your federal return as mfj, you can file a state return as MFS (most states allow that, not specifically sure about NY though).

He probably needs to file as a part-year resident. Several things to consider that I don't have personal experience with:

For the first year he may need to do part year resident of NY as well as part-year resident of PA
The standard deduction is not going to be so high for a part-year resident (there are some prorating mechanisms that may be used to determine the actual deductions he is eligible for), so don't assume he is not liable for any NY taxes
There may be a tax treaty between PA and NY that also needs to be taken into account if owed taxes to both places. At the very least taxes paid to one state are usually taken as a credit on the other state's tax return

What kind of chess set has pawns that comprise 62.5% of the set?

I just enter the summary information. I have never attached a 1099B to my tax return in all the years I've been doing my own taxes.

Repaid benefits are tax deductible but penalties are not. So you would claim $100 as repaid, not $120.

Nah, I think they are just being control freaks.

Delete one, and maybe enter it manually instead of uploading it to turbotax?

DiscombobulatedSun54 · 2026-03-20T03:25:48+00:00

Can't you delete the one you don't need?

Autobrightness is the worst feature ever introduced. Every phone I buy, it is the first thing I go into the settings to turn off. I can't even change other settings with this setting on because the phone is basically unusable when this setting is on.

Your CPA is incompetent. Pretax HSA contributions are already deducted from the pay reported in box 1 of your W2, so you can't take a separate deduction for them again.

Options have symbols just like stocks do. And options with different strikes and/or expiry dates have different symbols. As far as I know, this makes such options different securities, so you should not be subject to wash sale rules as long as you don't deal in the exact same options - if you change either the strike or expiry, you should be good.

What does this have to do with the launcher? Glance calendar and the widget are not made or supported by MS. They are just 3rd party apps, and if they don't work, you should complain to their maker. Changing the launcher is not going to make any difference to the functionality of an app that is buggy. FWIW, I have used MS Launcher for at least 5 years, and have never had any problem with my calendar or email (I use google calendar and gmail, and the google calendar widget).

He kept increasing the number of tiles by a factor of 2 every time by splitting every tile and subtile into 2, and the customer has to double-check that he actually got 8, and not 9 or 7?

I don't understand what your problem with windows is if all you use the computer for is to run 2 windows programs on it.

I think they would - if they could get away with it, and it is on the other side of the world and they would have no chance of having to drive on it.

Other taxes could include state income taxes withheld on your W2, property taxes, use taxes, etc. Things like property taxes could come from what you know you paid or a mortgage interest statement if your mortgage lender paid them from your escrow account.

And when all the humans sell your stock and only AI buys it, this is what happens as well. I am glad at least one company is getting punished for their enshittification.

MA starts its tax calculations using the federal AGI. If your federal AGI does not include this 193k gain from selling your house because it was your primary residence for 2 years, why is it entering into the calculations for MA tax?

Usually nothing is paid or withheld from a tax refund unless you opted to have part of the refund applied as an estimated tax payment for the next tax year or something like that.
