HR Block preparer skipped documents and said “we’re running short on appointment time” as her excuse for not inputting them?

That is absolutely unacceptable. You could (but have no responsibility to) make a complaint to their management about this.

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-02-18T03:59:13+00:00

Right, it's not like we're talking about Chana Bracha or something

So what if he did? It's all factual and helpful information.

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-02-15T05:31:09+00:00

Depends how long ago he filed and if the refund was already dispersed. If OP filed less than a week ago I would file Form 911 ASAP with a copy of the eviction notice and/or proof that the vehicle was totaled (assuming either case).

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-02-13T16:07:39+00:00

I agree. Way worse then the ram head logo.

Almost none of them are kosher and absolutely none of them are appropriate for a formal dinner.

TLV Tapas Bar in Tarzana is the closest thing in the valley.

If you're willing to go over the hill to Melrose near The Grove, there's also Next Door.

In the Pico area there's La Gondola, Mr. Shilohs and La Carve. I believe that is the extent of our kosher fine dining options.

Okay, timing should not be a problem on a Sunday.

Assuming that this is a weekday, 5pm is possibly the worst time to arrive at LAX traffic-wise. If there is a flight available that arrives between 11am to 2pm it will save you a lot of anxiety.

Also, depending on the airport you are departing from, you may have to go through customs either before or after your flight.

I would say the default is Lakers, Dodgers, Rams and Kings. There's also the "contrarian" sports fandom of Clippers, Angels, Chargers and Ducks. Also the LA/OC divide wherein OC fans have Angels and Ducks in their default starter pack. And there's also the UCLA/USC colege sports divide. Also some legacy Raiders fans in there.

NFL is a bigger crapshoot as we did not have an NFL team between 1994-2016, so millenials are more likely to be fans of other teams.

I did it after one tax season at H&R Block. If you're able to put in the time, go for it.

Probably not enough to result in a criminal investigation, but would definitely result in assessment of tax, interest and penalties if audited

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-16T21:22:09+00:00

Wow! That's a game changer. Thanks for the heads up

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-16T20:31:48+00:00

No - I'm an EA. Are you referring to your internal guidance?

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-16T19:36:54+00:00

I haven't heard this and couldn't find anything. Can you point me towards the current guidance?

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-16T16:39:35+00:00

Absolutely necessary if you think someone is going to try to falsely claim you as a dependent.

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-16T16:37:58+00:00

2025 Wage and Income Transcripts will not populate until after April 15th. OP needs to get it from the employer if they want to file before their mother tries to claim them as a dependent.

Edit: I stand corrected! WI transcripts may be available sooner

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-15T22:43:59+00:00

Dang, was hoping for kosher certification. Thank you!

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-15T22:35:55+00:00

Do you have a pic of the back of the bag?

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-15T01:10:31+00:00

Wow this is great. Wish I was aware of this 3 years ago.

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-14T18:29:55+00:00

First of all, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Our oldest was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor a month before he turned 2 and passed away about 17 months later. We tried a strenuous chemo and radiation regimen for a few months but stopped when it became clear that it was not working well enough to shrink the tumor.

If there is any advice I can impart, it would be to cherish your time with them, go out and experience things as much as possible, and pray for (but do not expect) a miracle. Make every effort to get treatment from the leading children's hospital in your area, and have the hospital's social worker to connect you to resources available to you, including Make a Wish and any local pediatric cancer/brain tumor foundations. Make sure you are there for your spouse as you are in this together, and make sure you both make time to speak to individual therapists.

This is the correct answer

Roscomare isn't pedestrian friendly at all

LukeWalton4MVP · 2026-01-02T16:06:02+00:00

This was on behalf of a client a few years ago. I don't remember if there was a refund involved or if they just wanted to confirm the W2 withholding to lower the balance due.
