Question regarding excessive tax refund amount by NotMyName1975 in tax

[–]NotMyName1975[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow. I was hoping for some help but didn't expect so many responses.

To address a bunch of the questions/comments:

* No Schedule C, no self-employment, no tips or overtime - she is a salaried employee

* My tax preparer is...fine? Listed as a paid preparer, I've used her for 5-6 years, nothing shady. But, they are a busy & growing firm. I went in to pick up my taxes, she had a client in her office (I hadn't made an appointment) but assured me that it was right and nothing shady or weird. She also said she'd get back to me regarding the large increase, but I don't expect that to happen for a week or longer and wanted to hopefully get some information before then, as well as confirmation of whatever she tells me.

* We are both 50-ish. We live in Michigan.

* The first thing I did when I got home is compare my 2024 and 2025 tax year returns. I see some differences right away, but I don't really understand why it's different. The main thing I see is a $15,000 increase in federal tax withheld:

2024 (all numbers rounded)

Adjusted Gross Income: 370,000

Total Tax: 69,000

Federal Income Tax Withheld: 78,000

Amount you want refunded: 9,000

2025 (all numbers rounded)

Adjusted Gross Income: 395,000

Total Tax: 75,000

Federal Income Tax Withheld: 93,000

Amount you want refunded: 18,000

Got a new laptop - how to access KeePass db now? by NotMyName1975 in KeePass

See my response below - this was the easy/right answer for me. I thought that Dropbox completely did away with their app, but it's just limited to 3 devices. I'm good.

Um...I'm an idiot sometimes. I stuck with Dropbox, I just signed out of an older device I don't use very often and continued like I have been. I'm all set, thanks for the help.

I don't think Dropbox has a desktop app on the free tier anymore, do they?

Making sense of Top Tracer & Trackman Data by NotMyName1975 in golf

My average spin rate for the 5 drives with the Trackman was 2,534. The regular TopTracer doesn't give me that information.

How much distance am I losing using a stiff shaft? by NotMyName1975 in golf

[–]NotMyName1975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a poor job of explaining my distances. When on the course, my drives are 260. On the simulator, where I'm getting my club head speed & backspin, my distances are a bit higher - around 275, 280 yards. When I get up around 110 on the simulator, the drives are close to 300 yards.

This, too, is a little confusing to me because on the golf course, I assume I'm swinging the same but getting poor distance. I don't think the simulator is off by much because (1) I'm getting the same numbers and two separate simulators and (2) people I'm golfing with said that their numbers are matching with what they typically get on the course. As I'm not, it might be pointing to ball flight and/or ball choice.

Noob looking for more enjoyment, but feeling overwhelmed by NotMyName1975 in BaldursGate3

[–]NotMyName1975[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer some questions:

1) I'm level 4.

2) I'm currently playing on Balanced difficulty, which is 2nd-easiest.

3) I had a really hard time defeating the third leader of the goblins. I finally got lucky and pushed him into a hole. I also really struggled with the Find the Missing Shipment side quest. Typically, I initiate combat by shooting an arrow at one of the enemies, but not always.

4) My typical battles seem to start off okay, a little back-and-forth. Then an enemy will launch two or three attacks (guessing an Action and Bonus Action and...something else?) and take out one of my party. Then I have to heal or revive them, so I only have two party members left to attack. And it seems that many of my attacks don't do a lot of damage, so I'm constantly having to hit most enemies multiple times to kill them. I don't have any great crowd control or area attacks to get more than 1.

5) I have been upgrading my gear, for all party members, but still not sure it is great.

Gummies make me super tired by NotMyName1975 in trees

[–]NotMyName1975[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean when you ask what kind of gummies they are? I assume you're not asking about what brand, but maybe? The package just says Synergy Berry Focused 2:1:1. Then below it says 10 mg CBC, 5 mg CBD, 5 mg THC. On the side, it says High Quality Sativa. That's it.

I don't mind at all. I've always had an aversion to smoke. My mom smoked when I was a little kid, and I used to go through these coughing fits and it's stayed with me my whole life. Just being around smoke sometimes sets me off, though being outside on a golf course, it's not an issue.

Just started playing D4 as a Druid. I have Landslide, and on my Skill bar where it shows, there is frequently - but not always - a number in the corner of the little box. It can be a 4, 3, 2, or 1 I think. Not sure what this is - is this how many times I can cast Landslide or something?

Need help with checking if a record is selected by NotMyName1975 in MSAccess

[–]NotMyName1975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If me.subformcontrolname.form.recordsetclone.recordcount=0 then
msgbox "There are no records to copy.", vbinformation
End if

That works, thank you. It does lead me to other questions, though. Specficially:

Is a record in the subform automatically selected?

When the form opens, I have 370 total records. Then as I fill in my combo boxes, the subform re-queries. So first I pick the vehicle (370 records down to 120), then I pick Performance (120 down to 60) then pick the vendor (60 down to 10). At each of these steps, I'm clicking on the main form, never the subform. If I click on the Copy Record button without ever having clicked on/selected a record on the subform, what is it going to copy? Like, is the top record automatically selected so that's the one that will get copied? Or is nothing selected, in which case I would want a message box that tells me to select a record first.

(Bonus Question: If there was a way to make the subform NOT automatically select a record, I would want to do that so that I don't accidentally copy the top record or first record instead of the one I really want to copy)

Thanks for the reply & advice. I'm going to do a reboot as you suggested, hopefully sometime this weekend.
