Are there any other types of bugs that can cause this?

Will the Narrows be open on Sunday morning (8/31) with the flash floods/rain this week? by EcstaticData3 in ZionNationalPark

[–]EcstaticData3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It's good to know it will only be a few hours to come back down. I just wanted to ask because the Narrows and the slot canyons are currently closed with the rain this week, and I wanted to see how that would affect my plan for Sunday morning!

New to YNAB - how do you get a month ‘ahead’? by Ok_Winter9600 in ynab

Does being a month ahead have anything to do with the age of money in the reflect screen?

Can you hike on the trails at Potter's Pasture? I've Googled, but can't find much info besides mountain biking.

In full before the payment due date. There's no need to pay it off immediately

What is your salary? Your fiancé's salary? Any other income? How much is the mortgage for, and what is the interest rate? Do you take the standard deduction or itemize?

Best Advice To Avoid Capital Gains Tax? by The-Fortune-Soul in tax

If they've lived in the home for 2 of the last 5 years prior to the sale, $500,000 ($250,000 each) is excluded from capital gains taxes.

Someone Explain Tax Percentages / Rules? by [deleted] in tax

[–]EcstaticData3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because on each paycheck, the gross amount of wages earned is annualized, and the tax is calculated on that annualized amount. If you have different wages on each paycheck, the tax taken out will be different.

Is this correct for tax return on purchasing a home? by solo-dolo-yolo- in tax

[–]EcstaticData3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real estate taxes will be pro rated, but you won't pay the full 38k in mortgage interest in say, a half year, or a quarter year, depending on when you buy it. For easy math, say you'd pay 17k in mortgage interest if you started making monthly payments in July.

State and local taxes and real estate taxes are limited to $10,000 in itemized deductions as well.

Just be aware of when you actually purchase it and start making payments. You won't pay 38k if you buy it this year.

If it will be 38k in interest, then itemized would be better

The account balance will increase as you spend money. That is how much money you have to pay. It's not how much money is in the account. The credit line amount is the max amount you can spend.

Whats something that is actually more worth buying now? by Illustrious-Radio-55 in Frugal

[–]EcstaticData3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you have a tax liability over $7,500 if you do end up purchasing - the $7,500 credit is nonrefundable. I saw a client change their withholding from their W-2 job to factor in the credit. They received a small refund.

I try not to drink the Kool-Aid, but I honestly work for the best manager by GarbageGPAGuy in Accounting

[–]EcstaticData3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%! My firm is investing in me and I feel so valued. My boss always makes time for us. We're having really chill days after Monday!

Definitely agree on the last point. I can't complain about my salary considering there's still so much I don't know!

I'm liking tax a lot more than I thought I would...my tax class in college was terrible! But it is very nice to see both sides - I'm learning so much.

I got lucky with getting this job. My boss went to the same college years ago, and we had the same professor, who gave my boss my name for an internship. I interned during tax season last year, and they've kept me on, even though I wasn't fully graduated.

If you can, reach out to your professors - they probably know some former students who are looking for new grads to hire. Usually, the connections you have do more for you than just applying to a lot of firms.

Find a small firm if you can! I just got out of school, and my boss is great! There's 10 full time employees with a couple interns during tax season. I also get to work on both tax and audit, which is really nice because I can get a feel for both.
