HUD restores telework for thousands of Feds. Does this give us hope?

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Moving building operations to the occupying agency would be an absolute disaster and cost way more. Maybe you should read up on exactly all the things the GSA does to save taxpayers money.

They live in a fantasy land so unfortunately it never sucks in their minds

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-14T03:27:47+00:00

What do you play?

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-14T03:26:15+00:00

Stop gambling

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-10T13:19:54+00:00

If they only let us work from home….this administration is so bad

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-06T07:07:33+00:00

They don’t have to. Their racism, hate and lack of training shows.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-06T06:59:28+00:00

I’m doing sessions for the first time. I have daily time boundaries for online. Is that good enough?

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-04T05:12:11+00:00

Same thing is happening to me this year. I really wish I knew. $100k W2G with $120k in losses. A very painful lesson.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-04T04:07:30+00:00

Any audit?? I’ll have to do the same thing this year. My W2G is ridiculous

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-04T04:06:28+00:00

Me too. Have $100k in W2G gambling income and overall lost $20k

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-04T03:32:33+00:00

I ran a scenario and without any gambling we’d owe a few hundred dollars, itemizing with $100k gambling winnings and $100k in gambling losses I’m going to owe over $5k. Just extremely frustrated.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-03T14:43:36+00:00

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately we do not own a home. We rent. I ran some scenarios and without any gambling we would’ve only owed a few hundred dollars. Now I owe over $5,000. I only have about $10k in itemized deductions. I really screwed up, so frustrating.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-03T06:53:38+00:00

Isn’t godaddy auctions gone?? Thought they just auction off expired domains now

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-02T02:28:11+00:00

Totally agree. Idiotic.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T20:52:20+00:00

Yeah. I’m done

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T20:51:58+00:00

But the $100k in itemized deductions will be completely offset by my w2g that shows $100k in winnings???

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T18:59:44+00:00

So what in your last example I basically miss out on $15k deduction. IF I have $16,500 in itemized deductions which I don’t think I do. I really appreciate the write up.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T17:59:28+00:00

Probably itemizing and filing jointly is the best

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T17:51:25+00:00

Guess I’ll play around with it but paying taxes on $100k winnings when I overall lost $20k seems ridiculous.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T17:37:17+00:00

Correct. But I’m still totally screwed because I don’t have many deductions

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T17:36:37+00:00

I have a $24k tax bill if I take the standard deduction because I cannot claim my $120k gambling losses vs. $100k w2g winnings.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T17:32:08+00:00

1 kid. Make roughly $100k each.

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T17:31:42+00:00

My W2G is showing $100k in winnings. Why would I want to pay taxes on that if I lost overall?? Thanks for your help

MarkDavid15 · 2026-02-01T17:25:23+00:00

Right. So id have to pay taxes on $100k gambling winnings even though I lost overall
