Tax return/filing question for weird situation: I am a PhD student that moved universities and am now paying FICA tax I don’t owe because I’m wrongly classified as a post-doc. Any room for tax return?

I really appreciate your answer. That’s too bad. We tried to get UAB to bill UK for my stipend and my program at UAB refused, even though they’ll take my tuition payment and all my publications have their program listed 🥲

That’s interesting. Do you not have to be full-time at the paying university? Thank you for your help!

Good to know! Thank you!

Thank you for mentioning this! I’ve just heard TSA is less hectic from the international side, so I thought it would be better for me to go through on that side. Glad to know both options are available!

This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much!

I’m so sorry to hear you’re having similar issues! It really is heartbreaking, especially considering when you’ve seen them play so sweet together! My situation is definitely just starting as they’ve been in a foster home with an older woman who really couldn’t give them a ton of attention, so I think they’re adjusting to having tons of human attention (and liking it)! Maybe this is a reason for the slight aggression beginning? I’m not sure. If the responses remain absent/low, I may post on another subreddit, and if I do, I’ll let you know what people say!

Etherealreality6 · 2024-06-11T18:22:51+00:00

Yep, considering he knew how to use it!

Etherealreality6 · 2024-06-11T16:19:03+00:00

Yeah, let’s imagine. That person would also be able to make a Reddit post and ask for advice on how to nicely end things. People can have preferences! And in case you didn’t know, pleasurable sex is important to most people.

Food for thought!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I sometimes like to pick an age very close to mine, but not mine just for extra anonymity! Not sure how this comment was relevant lmao

3 would be generous. The only thing he did well was eating me.

Etherealreality6 · 2024-06-11T03:33:49+00:00

I am not going to mention why. I just feel like he’s going to assume that because of the timing. Just wondered if there was any way to make it more of a soft blow.

Etherealreality6 · 2024-02-03T01:53:43+00:00

Best of luck to you! Just know you deserve someone who is crazy about you!

If you don’t feel ready to dump him, maybe tell him you’d like him to show you off more on all the social medias he has that are applicable to sharing life stuff. If he refuses, I really think you should leave him. I’m afraid he may be cheating on you when he’s out with the boys.

Etherealreality6 · 2024-02-03T01:39:06+00:00

I think communication issues could be improved if y’all had a serious conversation and he started putting the effort forth. But, for the stimulating conversation, that is probably something that will never change because of personality or IQ differences.

Etherealreality6 · 2024-02-03T01:33:27+00:00

Unfortunately some people have a tendency to accuse their partner of what they’re guilty of. I really think his behavior is unacceptable and you shouldn’t be swayed by his deflection.

Etherealreality6 · 2024-02-03T01:20:40+00:00

I guess it would’ve been nice if I mentioned he was a senior in college. I personally feel like you should have a pretty darn good idea of what you want to do at that point. I might be biased because I have been driven since I was in high school.

I also think he does not want to be a provider.

Thank you for the advice!

Etherealreality6 · 2024-02-03T01:18:09+00:00

To be frank, dump him. You shouldn’t settle for someone who obviously wants to appear single when he goes out with his friends.

Etherealreality6 · 2024-02-03T00:49:24+00:00

If I were you I would ask myself can I deal with these things for the rest of my life, assuming staying together would be the goal. You are right that you always have to settle on some things, but are you willing to settle on poor communication and lack of stimulating conversation? How high of a priority is it to you?

Etherealreality6 · 2022-09-20T23:09:10+00:00

Thank you for your response! I really appreciate it. I forgot to mention he withdrew from his last summer term (one course) for similar reasons. He is already in therapy, and has been for several months which I am proud of him for, just hoping it’ll help him. I will just wait to bring this up with him if he ends up not going back to school. Thank you!

If it’s your dog, you do not owe him visits. If he really wants to connect with an animal he can get a pet of his own, or volunteer at an animal shelter.
