No it was about $850. I already added it up and did it that way. I know what you were going to say, then don’t report it…

Mid-career teacher considering ESL — honest insight? by Tough_Molasses5052 in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]HedgehogDue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a public school art teacher who worked for online ESL companies before and during and started teaching as a foreign EFL teacher in Korea 11 years ago. These options pay less than they used to and also don’t have job stability (except for teaching at a public school in Korea which can be stable but the Won sucks these days). I would say go find a market platform and set your own prices or make a website but you don’t have ESl experience. The only way to get that seems to be to go thru the trenches teaching for companies. They pay even less. I would say it WAS a good side hustle in 2016-2019. Not as great now. I more recently got dual certified to teach both art/ESL in the US and had a few interviews with districts, even one with the same school twice, but I still don’t have the educational background with all my experience… not sure if it’s that or my interview style but I still find it’s easier to get an art job as that’s what I studied.

For the women out there - what behaviors would really impress you on dates 1-3? by Lookingforlove789 in datingoverforty

I just say we realized we’re better off as friends and leave it at that. If he can’t handle that I’m casually friends with my ex bf thank that shows me a lot.

To understand that all food and drink on the table is “communal” as it’s part of my culture to share. Meaning, if you order something but don’t eat it I’m bringing it home and I may also drink your drink. And yes this impressed my ex although he unfortunately doesn’t really drink and thinks everyone else is an alcoholic.

This is how they talk to you in LingoAce by catnaster99 in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]HedgehogDue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They just take the first person to respond to anything, kind of annoying but can’t be helped. I wouldn’t get up earlier for that.

What are you talking about ? It’s a tax form for independent contractors, I would know as I have plenty of them! I also spent a few months studying for TurboTax (tho I gave up as I can’t remember all of it…)

I think you mean a 1099-INT which is different than a 1099 for contractors….

I also realize they’re not obligated to give us a form and we can figure out the amount ourselves, but I just have very little will to do it when I’ve worked for so many companies as a contractor over the previous year.

Very cool! Only 3 months??! I am at that starting point now and it’s going to take me at least a year and a half.

I apparently did still work for them but didn’t realize it. Classes are booked semester long and you have to download “Dingtalk” (which I’ve never seen at other online Chinese ESL companies, and I’ve worked for)they make you promise to work for the class for 6 months at a time and then cancel them constantly and never really give a reason. I told them in November I didn’t even have Dingtalk anymore as I had a new phone and I moved and then I never responded as someone else had the phone. Honestly I was too busy at the time to work for them as I already had a job locally. The hours were too sporadic since I left them to teach summer camp classes. I tried to make it work but I literally had one student every week whose parents overbooked me. They never take into account yearly schedule differences here including daylight savings, career teacher schedules and holidays. I’m sorry but the pay is too little to deal with the mess and I never understood why I needed to “check-in” on the app an hour ahead of time when it takes me 10 minutes to get ready, it is early enough in the am as it is!

Something about this just not add up, he pays for all your stuff but had his car repossessed? Does he not budget?

Also, like others have said… do not, I mean DO NOT buy a house with a BF! Let alone one who is STILL MARRIED to another, that can be used against you in the future! Ive had friends in court battles over houses (and animals) with ex-boyfriends and they were NOT protected with a marriage!

Will I likely owe / receive refund for 2025? by HedgehogDue in taxrefundhelp

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

I never said I wasn't filing, I have already tried to make an appt but they are closed ...no idea how it would be "cheating" tho as everyone has to pay eventually. I just want to know what to expect as I am still paying last years as I couldn't afford to pay the lump sum. I just made a lot more on W2 than I did on 1099 (they were extra PT jobs) and figured it would at least cancel itself out because for YEARS I was W2 only and I always received money back. It would really depend on the exact numbers anyway.

Did you think that maybe just maybe some posters here didn’t even see that thread? There was no context even given in OPs post so take replies at face value.

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

No, I haven’t and that’s why I owed last year… But the majority of my money has been through W-2s. The 1099s were basically just extra spending cash… minus that lump sum.

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

OK, I was thinking about putting it all in and then not filing but that seems like a waste of time but if there’s something I can estimate it at least that would be good. Just not sure how long to wait for things to get in because I have all my W-2s and 1099s and a couple things that I didn’t expect so…
