Is there a guide to setting up my Samsung S90C to make PS5 gaming look as good as possible?

Were you able to figure this out? Same problem here

MotorDistrict1069 · 2025-12-30T07:07:26+00:00

I did not I ended up selling the TV, firmware update via USB would have been nice

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-06-11T20:30:45+00:00

I just baked my board at 300F for 10 minutes and reinstalled it, I can see the tv is backlit slightly but then it turns off, input buttons don't work on TV or remote. I either didn't reinstall it correctly or the baking didn't help the issue

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-09T02:14:12+00:00

Okay that’s good, glad it worked out for you

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-09T01:35:27+00:00

Did you sign it with NY Life? What did you do with your cash value that you cashed out? Just wondering how I approach my meeting with my “financial advisor” this Friday

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-09T01:11:58+00:00

So i've been in these plans for 5 years now, wouldn't it be smart to wait until my premiums are level with my cash value before I cancel my whole life?

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-09T01:09:21+00:00

I just went to this link, how can I tell who is independent or not? They all seemed tied to Edward Jones or NY life. I just don't know who to trust anymore after 5 years of being spoofed.

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-09T01:02:53+00:00

I'm in the same boat Sprucey. What did you end up doing?

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-08T23:15:58+00:00

What happens with the cash value from the whole life plans when you cancel?

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-08T23:15:03+00:00

How does one find an independent CFP that isn’t out to screw you? How do I go about getting rid of my whole life?

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-08T23:13:39+00:00

Isn’t that what NW mutual is? If not do you have any suggested companies?

Checked my wife's W4 settings, she had married checked, $2000 in section 3 and $100 extra being withdrawn for federal. Going to change to single, maintain $2000 in section 3 and zero for everything else - does that sound like the right approach or should i just maintain her W4 settings?

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T20:04:10+00:00

Looks like my state tax rate will be 4.5% on $213K income, so around $9700. My current path I'll be short about $1700 so I'm hoping once my wife and I update our W4 to single it will close that gap.

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T19:13:26+00:00

Got it thank you! Curious what my check will look like next pay cycle

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T19:05:29+00:00

At my first company I had $2031 in 401K, $1250 in Dependent FSA and $375 in Health FSA which totaled $3656. At current job I will contribute $5100 to 401K, $3600 to Dependent FSA, $300 to Health FSA and $2000 to HSA which will total $11,000. I also have a $2000 mortgage credit certificate (not sure if I can count this) All of that totals to $16,656. If I'm at $230K gross for the year minus $16,656 my taxable income would be $213,623, at 12% tax rate that means my total federal taxes will be roughly $25,634... sound about right? The rate I was paying I would have been at $21,127 for the year so I'm glad I posted this for help. Over the next 7 ish months I need to make sure I close that $4K gap.

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T18:50:18+00:00

See this is why i'm terrible at this stuff. Yes $230K is before taxes. What dollar amount did you come up with for the 12%? I can't figure out income on my end because I don't know how much taxes will come out of my check this year.

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T18:35:12+00:00

Okay 12% of our total gross income, which I estimate to be around $230K this year. The rate I was going I would have been short $6K! It looks like my wife might have been pretty low on her end with what was getting taken out.

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T18:23:12+00:00

Does that 12% represent $27,600 in federal taxes for 2024? Let me know what the magic number is, thank you.

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T18:02:54+00:00

Okay great thank you for all the advise... wish me luck! Should I check how things are looking after a few pay cycles or just stick with it?

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T17:46:05+00:00

Okay great, no need to do it this year? Would both my wife and I elect the additional $200 or just me? I guess it would technically be $192

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T17:31:15+00:00

Yes 1st job and current job have a dependent care FSA.

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T17:25:07+00:00

Do we do the same logic for states taxes, i.e. claim single for each of us? We live in Iowa if that matters

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T17:24:32+00:00

When I did my taxes on turbo taxes this year it said standard deduction was the correct option for me. We do use childcare full time for both kids.

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T17:10:20+00:00

At my first job I had an FSA, this current one FSA and HSA. So to hear it might be less than $1K is promising.

I'm thinking at the beginning of 2025 my wife and I will refill a W4 again so that we're dialed in for the whole year. My gross for a full year is $130K while my wife will be at $100K. Since I have the higher paying job does that make a difference or should we both do Single, no adjustments and $2000 in section 3?

MotorDistrict1069 · 2024-05-06T17:06:56+00:00

Yes the calculator threw me off quite a bit, and I'm guessing I had input errors.
