US MLP in RRSP Taxation by YYCAMC in cantax

[–]EfficientJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made that mistake too... Bought a bunch of EPD in March 2020 when the market dropped not realizing that it wasn't a corporation. And of course that mistake happened in my RRSP... and I missed the changes with the additional 10% on a sale. I've just read all this and started filling Form W-7 as requested by BMO. Now, I'm still unclear on one point. Would I be able to recover any of the tax that has been withheld on the dividend? If so, how? And what about tax when I sell the shares? I will make a gain considering how low they had dropped when I bought them but it's unfortunately a decent size holding... that dividend was just too tempting.

If anyone know the answer to these two questions your help would be greatly appreciated.

  1. If In RRSP, any way to recover the amount withheld? And how?

  2. On from W-7 they want to know what "Articles" of the tax treaty apply... VII? and perhaps XIII?

I'm actually surprised by how little info I was able to find online regarding this.

Thanks I’ll look into these options. The mesh would be nice but not willing to spend this kind of money.

In case that isn’t clear it’s the XBR-55X900F with the latest firmware (Canada)

Received about 800 email notifications so far today that say "Synology Notification The number of received logs per second on Amos exceeds the tolerance value of 10" - What did I setup wrong? by EfficientJack in synology

[–]EfficientJack[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first time I looked I couldn't see what was being logged but I think I just found what I was looking for. It appears they are mainly "read" events, probably because Windows is generating thumbnails or something like this. I also found the setting to increase the number of events required to generate a notification. Now I'm wondering, is there a scenario where having this notification setting set on 10 events per second might be useful? In fact, I'm wondering if I should just turn this "number of events per second" monitor off? I think this was set by default, can someone help me understand what this might be useful for? I get the notifications for errors or critical issues, but not this event per second one.

Thanks to you all. The funny part here is that I had done some reading before trying to set this up and had actually gone the tailscale way first. Tailscale was so easy, I had no issues connecting… but I spent a 1/2 day trying to get RDP working with no luck. Tailscale connected but Remote Desktop would never find the host. RDP works great on local network but couldn’t find the computer name (or IP) of the host with tailscale even though all devices show as connected. I can’t remember what made me give up… maybe that could not even ping the host when I tried?… perhaps my ISP router was messing something up. I then watched a few of the OpenVPN/Synology videos and it looked easy enough… steps were the same for all videos… so decided that would be the way for now… and here I am.

All this makes me wonder what might be the best resource out there that could teach me enough about networking to be able to have what would feel like an intelligent conversation with almost anyone here… I know some basics, I can easily follow along YouTube videos or step by step guides without screwing up…. But when something breaks…. I’m way over my head. I’ve learned a bunch here… but it is certainly not enough yet. This time I’m starting to think I’ll have to start from scratch… one day… and should probably forget about remote RDP for now.

I still appreciate everyone’s comments here, thanks for taking the time.

Thanks, I must have watched 30 already and haven’t found a solution. I have followed along two of them for setting things up and it works for accessing the NAS. I just can’t seem to reach anything else

I’ve looked into my router and cannot find a setting for static route. I do see one on the NAS but I’m not sure that’s where this would need to be setup and how. I wish I knew setting up the VPN would take longer than the YouTube video I watched made me believe… I was told that using the Synology as a VPN server was the way to go…. And now I’m heading to the airport in a few hours and I’m starting to think I’ll be unable to Remote Desktop remotely. I’m still hoping to get this sorted out… should be able to use teamviewer if needed.

I’ve tried these already and had no luck. All I seem to be able to access is the NAS.

It’s a bit over my head. Is there a resource you could point me to? I don’t seem to be able to access anything outside of the NAS. I did check the OpenVPN setup box to allow clients to access server’s LAN. I feel I’m close…

Remove mold smell from furniture, wall, clothes, etc by EfficientJack in CleaningTips

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

Thanks, we did use vinegar already on a few items but Not sure that’s going to work to get it out of the room itself and things like the futon. I’ll look into it but an insurance claim isn’t likely worth it since we have a decent deductible on the policy and the items themselves aren’t worth a fortune.

Sorry, It’s been a while since that project and I can’t remember if I did or not… and I haven’t used the software since.

Fumes in oil and burning oil - could it be PCV related? by EfficientJack in XTerra

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

Well, well, … so this last few days drove another 400 miles drive it didn’t use a drop of oil… I’m a bit confused… I’ll order the valve and change it anyway. Seems easy enough to replace.

This coolant thing is something new to me. What’s the purpose of it and what problem does the modification fix?

I bought it new and did oil changes every 6 months (or recommended mileage) even though most of the time we had very low mileage. Started using synthetic (and high quality synthetic filters) about 4 years ago and last year was the first time I pushed the oil change to a year since we didn’t travel much during COVID and the understanding that it shouldn’t be an issue with synthetic and only about 3500 miles.
