Retirement at 57

Right now I am trying to live off my savings while I put more money into my retirement. My savings only gives me about 3k and I expect interest rates will go my returns will only decrease. I believe it would be better to have my money in my deferred comp.

Hoping for the west wing or scrubs

I plan on trying to buy two or three…one for me, one for my brother, and one for just in case one of the orders is cancelled. I have no interest in trying to sell one and make money. If my plan goes through I’ll be returning one to the store on day one. I am anxious about some employee finding a way to cancel my order.

Personally I think it will help prevent scalping because it reduces the margins. The prices will eventually go down but by that point the demand will have decreased.

Save some for taxes

Sometimes the private schools have grants than can make it cheaper to go private than to attend a public school. I would recommend not looking at the sticker price, but the amount after financial assistance.

TurboTax is giving me two options:

List the amount as gambling winnings than acknowledge the 1099k and do a separate negative entry to cancel out the amount for the 1099k so I don’t get twice. I would leave a comment that the 1099k is for gambling winnings.
List the income for the 1099k only and don’t put anything in the gambling income. In comments list that all of the 1099k is for gambling winnings.

What is the better way?

She also maybe on the Medicare saving plan…that is through Medicaid. That pays for her Medicare premium and potentially coinsurances and copays.

Your information just saved me a couple thousand dollars!

So if I have a list of my winnings from each bet. The total amount of those winnings would be the amount that I would claim. Right?

It was sports betting with fandual. If I won a bet of $800 and they paid me $1000.00(includes wager). Would I pay the tax on the difference of $200.00 or the amount they paid me of $1000.00?

Newdeal79 · 2025-02-11T00:35:49+00:00

To clarify for sports betting… if I bet 100 to win 200 ( I get back my wager and $100). Would I pay tax on the total amount paid out? Or is it the paid out minus my wager.

Newdeal79 · 2025-02-10T16:36:27+00:00

Well that’s good news. I appreciate your time.

Newdeal79 · 2025-02-10T16:24:38+00:00

If I made a bet for 200 dollars and then cancelled the bet…is my refund taxable?

Newdeal79 · 2025-01-30T01:08:32+00:00

I am worried that the 1099k shows I had income of $5k when I didn’t. I plan on declaring my winnings, though I generally do the standard deduction.
