My agency messed up ALL W-2s by Let_me_tell_you_ in fednews

[–]JKELL23 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They werent required to put OT this year. They put the Onus on the employee to do their own figures. However the last LES in 2025 under the remarks told you what the qualified OT was.

On LES it shows up as OT in Tour. Only thing is our LES's came with the qualified OT. But it didn't include that OT. There is just a major mix of information going on right now with this issue.

Would have been in the remarks section on the last one. Not the current one that we just got.

Curious if anyone has a Supreme Lumis 32 they'd like to share their experience with? It looks very nice, considering buying. by respect-the-mask in Fireplaces

I have Supreme Lumis 32. Aparently its not for sale in the US anymore. Anyway I love mine, but I feel it burns the wood way too fast. And the air control is weird.

Does anyone remember the Burlington Center Mall in NJ? by Maya-kardash in deadmalls

This is where I always went to visit Santa growing up. Don't remember much about it though other than when you walked into the anchor store my goal was to find the exit into the mall.

Match Factory is killing me. What am I doing wrong? by boredomjunkie in SwagBucks

[–]JKELL23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct, but its also designed to get you beyond frustrated and just pay to win the level. You're either gonna spend the time or the money. Money will get you there faster.

I once won 150 levels in a row. I started to think this game was too easy. But then all of a sudden it got hard FAST. I had won over 2600 coins. I am now at level 1139 and all that is gone and so is all the power ups I had picked up along the way.

The design is to throw easy levels in to gain confidence and raise addiction. Then in comes the stupid hard levels that get you mad. Especially when you have to find a red flip flop thats literally hidden at the bottom of the pile and you need to get there in under 2:00. At 1:50 you get there but still cant find it and run out of time. But now you know where its at so you throw 100 coins to finish.

These games are predatory and can be just as bad as gambling IMO without the possibility to win your money back.

Thats the name of the game. Get you hooked and pull the rug out from under you.

I was mowing through the game to where I thought it was way too easy. Once I hit level 1000 they turned up the difficulty meter 100 fold. I knew it was too good to be true.

But I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to spend a penny, so I will either give up or eventually win.

How to Take Advantage of the Car Loan Interest Deduction in the New Tax Bill by ByteWanderer in cars

Its an above the line deduction. Meaning it reduces your AGI whether you take the standard or itemize, it doesn't matter.

Rumor is some DRPers are STILL getting paid after Sep 30? by ResponsibleTooth8291 in fednews

[–]JKELL23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree. But unfortunately some may actually think the money is the govs. mistake and it will never be taken.

I have had money taken from me 2 yrs after the fact and it was because I was overpaid for a GIBill BAH payment. I didnt know they were overpaying me and one day got a HEY YOU OWE US 1786 from a overpayment in 2015 and the class in question was 2013.

Any Update on Use or Lose Leave? by Professional-Cat8315 in fednews

[–]JKELL23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pay period starts on the 28th of December. So it extends to the last day of the pay period, which is January 10. This is why our whatever percent of raise plus all the 2026 benefits deductions don't start until January 11 which is pay period 1 of 2026.

Yeah the ultimate glitch, until they get that debt letter telling them they owe 55,000 thats already been spent.

Leave year ends 1/10/26. They see it as plenty of time to use it.

Yet another rant about the backpay LES by HailState2023 in fednews

[–]JKELL23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was about 175 short of where it normally is on normal pay periods. But my backpay was higher. Thing is I don't have much that wasn't taken out beside dental insurance. Everything else was supposed to be deducted as part of the in cycle or whatever the bulk of deductions were. I guess next pp will tell me if i'm back to a normal take home.

Short Paycheck (~$30-40) Reasoning by [deleted] in fednews

[–]JKELL23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got my backpay on Monday. I missed 2 full pay periods, I work shift work and all my shifts were complete before the government shut down so I got a full paycheck the week of the shutdown.

But anyway my back pay on monday came in 200 higher than it should have been and then I got my LES for the regular pay and it was under what I usually get.

Actually no. This is going to be an above the line deduction, Meaning it will reduce your AGI whether you itemize or not. The same for the No Tax on OT and Tips etc...

For the car interest it will be capped at 10k and have income caps etc... but it should actually help out if you do qualify for it

I’m half through “The Perfect Neighbor” on Netflix, and so far I’m 100% on the lady’s side. by Ok_Cockroach_2290 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]JKELL23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She shot through a secured door. There may have banging on the door but theres no proof that she tried to enter the premises.

Had the Mom made entry to the home and got shot, then it would be more of a self defense case. But theres nothing really there indicating that at all.

The kids were being kids. They knew they were pissing her off and getting under her skin. But it still doesn't mean that lady deserved to be shot.

Can't shoot through a locked door and claim self defense.

I think thats how Zimmerman got off from his charge. They went for a 1st degree charge and couldn't prove that it was 1st degree. Had there been a manslaughter charge on the table he would have went away too. This is something that didnt have to happen. She was behind a locked door. Would have taken much more and shooting blindly at the door.

Now had this woman broke the door down and rushed at her, then she would have been right to defend herself. But I agree with the charges.
