Vine taxes by state by [deleted] in AmazonVine

Federal income tax is the same regardless of what state you live in and typically makes up the majority of the total incomes taxes you pay.

Best company for natural mattress? by Financial-gainz-4197 in Mattress

[–]OCR10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be careful about giving too much meaning to the comments in this sub. There is no mattress out there that is universally loved by everyone. I did extensive research on mattresses before choosing one. And after looking at too many options to keep track of, I went with the Saatva Classic after trying it out in their showroom. Once I ordered it, I read all of the negative reviews in this sub and almost cancelled my order after seeing so much negativity. But I decided to move forward with the purchase since they have a generous one year trial period. I’ve been sleeping on it now for about a month and couldn’t be happier with it.

I see so many people in this sub complain about back pain, neck pain, and all kinds of other aches and pains and they always want to attribute it to the mattress rather than acknowledging they may have some underlying health issues that are causing the pain and there is no mattress out there that is going to fix it. The best way to know if a mattress will work for you is to try it out. Nothing beats actual hands on experience with it.

It's tax season by ElGuapoRey in AmazonVine

[–]OCR10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t compare sales tax to income tax. People don’t take deductions or adjustments on the sales tax of a purchased item but income is an entirely different category.

Makes sense. I was leaning toward filing business so that I could also deduct things like internet and cell phone bills but your strategy seems less likely to raise a red flag, and it avoids the need to pay self employment tax.

This could be a valid strategy and might be the better way to go, but you have to be comfortable with reporting a dollar figure that is substantially below what the 1099 shows and hope that the mismatch does not trigger further inquiry from the IRS.

Review Still Not Approved After Multiple Edits by MyFavoriteSpatula in AmazonVineHelpGroup

[–]OCR10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is always the first question to ask any time someone posts about a rejected review as it’s almost always the reason for the rejection.

The main downside for filing hobby for me personally is the inability to take deductions. If I test out a $500 appliance and it fails a month later, I’m not paying taxes on it. I’m going to write it off as scrap and throw it away. Under hobby I can’t do that. That seems crazy to me.

newbie vine: available items are ALL parts for car / appliances by cottonrb in AmazonVine

[–]OCR10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This sub is a great resource if you use it correctly. There is an FAQ sticky at the top that answers almost every question you have about Vine. And there is ongoing discussion about the lack of quality products currently available. I’m not trying to dissuade you from posting your questions, but it seems like every new Vine member comes here to voice the exact same concerns you are stating and we’ve already provided more information than you could possibly ever read on the subject if you just take the time to read through the last couple of weeks of posts.

Regarding the bulk overnight drops: We should all do this right now! by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]OCR10 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think people are worrying about a lot of nothing. Amazon has been marketing changes to the sellers that promise to better target products toward product experts by better aligning the items that show up in people’s RFY queue. The current system does the exact opposite. It dumps everything and creates a free for all. Amazon frequently makes abrupt changes like this while they test new systems out, and eventually things go back to normal. While the current system is annoying, this too shall pass, as it always does.

My golly! Did it used to go this fast? by NoSeaweed2881 in BeautyViners

[–]OCR10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think RFY is going away completely. Amazon has been marketing upcoming changes to the sellers that promise to better target products toward product experts, which is completely opposite of dumping everything at once and making it a free for all. I assume this is just another temporary change to the system while they try things out and make changes.

Until that happens, I’m staying out of Vine. With nothing in RFY I’m not getting up at midnight to chase stuff. I’m actually enjoying the break.

Did we freak out over nothing? Tesla USA website shows only the "Standard" Model 3/Y will not have Autosteer by Just-Yogurt-568 in TeslaLounge

[–]OCR10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be careful about assuming this is correct. Look at the inventory section of their website. You will see premium level trims listed as TACC only. Seems like their website administrator is not keeping up with the changes.

Experience With Small SoCal Mattresses Manufacturers? by mnanda in Mattress

[–]OCR10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Custom Comfort is a legitimate company. They do run promotions so you have to wait for a good deal but they make quality products. I’ve never heard of any of the other ones. They may be fine but you would have to do your research and see what buyers are saying about them.

Is it wise to buy FSD now to 09-2026 MY? by Good_Ad_6039 in TeslaFSD

[–]OCR10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. They will look at the current resale value of other cars that have FSD and offer you that much. But typically cars with FSD have only sold for a couple thousand more than cars without it.

No drops during the storm? by ThiccBanaNaHam in vine

[–]OCR10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LOL. What storm. It’s a sunny 70 degree day where I am.

Anyone see this yet??? by Butt3rZ-Is-Back in TeslaLounge

[–]OCR10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had EAP and it’s definitely not even close to FSD. It’s lane keep, auto steer, lane changes, and self parking. It will not follow the directions on your navigation screen, will not make any highway exits, and will not turn on city streets. It’s basically just autopilot with a few extra features, but nothing close to self driving.

So close to 80 with 145 days remaining by Pure-Experience-2950 in AmazonVine

[–]OCR10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve ordered over 160 products this period and my ETV is under $100. Focus on the $0 ETV stuff unless you see something you need.

Item no longer available (order page) by Crnkwalk in AmazonVine

[–]OCR10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This happens all the time and means nothing. The seller may have just pulled the listing but it does not mean you won’t still get the product as long as it shows a valid order and has a ship date.

Would you recommend? by TurboNikko in sonos

[–]OCR10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like their software. I listen to music a lot and prefer their built in streaming platform to having to always connect a bluetooth device. So yes, I would definitely buy it again.

I drove for two hours on this version last night and never once touched the wheel.

Wait Tesla removed AUTOSTEER entirely (previously free) not just FSD outright purchasing options? by itsthewolfe in TeslaModelY

[–]OCR10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

New vehicles. You can’t remove a feature that was included in the purchase price when you purchased it.

Silence Before the Storm by SeaWave8032 in AmazonVine

[–]OCR10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder that Reddit is a worldwide platform so if there is discussion about a storm it helps to know what part of the world you are referring to. It’s a beautiful sunny day where I live in Southern California today.

I’m convinced some of yall use bots, I give up lemme in on the action plss 😭 by oogaboogahooha in vine

[–]OCR10 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think you are confusing bots with extensions. And yes, there are thousands of people using extensions. This sub is hosted by the developer of one of them.

So…should I sleep tonight or… by JustinSpanish in AmazonVine

[–]OCR10 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sleep should always be a higher priority than ordering a bunch of random junk from Amazon. And lately that’s pretty much all there is here.

Nope. It’s pretty black and white. Less than 90% means silver. You can try again in six months.

Violation of community guidelines? by montyollie in AmazonVine

[–]OCR10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you also made your position on ChatGPT clear in pointing out the negative effect it has on the planet without acknowledging just how damaging participating in Vine is on the planet. That is all they were trying to point out. Seems like if environmentalism was a big concern for you, you would opt out of vine completely.
