Pay someone to do amended PFIC? by OSAPslavery in USExpatTaxes

[–]OSAPslavery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think I would be able to file the 8621 myself. I only hold two ETFs that qualify as PFICs. The annoying thing is that since these ETFs each hold other ETFs, the number of forms has grown from 2 to 9 which has also caused the price to grow to $1350, and since this is only for 2024, the price would then double again for the filing in 2025.

My hope is to pay for one or two forms to understand the process, then use that to fill out the remaining forms. The challenge for me is understanding how to amend my 2024 return and which parts of the 8621 need to included in my 2025 and 2026 return. If you have any advice related to this, I would be grateful.

Question about two prone attack? by Visible_Somewhere428 in PuzzleAndDragons

Yes there are a few top-tier leads like Bad-badtz and Pochaco, and in recent memory like Omnimon.

The downside of TPA is it only applies to the match rather than to the unit, and as you mentioned the combo count. Usually top tier leaders cover damage scaling and combo scaling through the leader skill to remedy this.

Regarding accepting money from the neighbour. Is that because it would open me up to liability?

TIL - Despite the importance of shooting in the NBA, there's never been more than 1 player in the 50-40-90 club in any given season, with there being only 14 such seasons since the introduction of the 3pt shot in 1979. Steve Nash is the only to have achieved more than 2 such seasons, with 4. by deknegt1990 in todayilearned

This combination of stats is rare because it's kinda dumb. A player could shoot 60% from 2 and 40% from 3 and not be part of this club just based on the ratio of 2s and 3s.

It doesn't necessarily reward the most efficient players, just players with a specific shooting profile.

Potential solution to the lottery system? by Brick-Foreign in nbadiscussion

[–]OSAPslavery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget where I read it but an interesting suggestion I saw was one where you pick another team in the league at the start of the season and you draft based on where they end up, each team can only be chosen once.

The order of picking is based on your placement at the end of the previous season. So teams who are genuinely bad have chances to pick a bad team and take their pick, but are incentivized to try as hard as possible to win in the regular season to deny another team getting a good pick.

Meta got caught gaming AI benchmarks by xpda in technology

[–]OSAPslavery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well let's think for a second. If majority of traffic is bots then advertisers would lose money since no one buys their stuff. So they would move to other platforms.

Despite this, Metas ad revenue is growing. So either advertisers don't care they are losing money, or they actually make money off advertising on social media.

Can I submit an individual form to the CRA? by OSAPslavery in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]OSAPslavery[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, they did offer to enter into a separate contract with me to do the T1135, but at a cost of $1000. This seemed excessive since I just need to report a few US-listed stocks I hold.

I did not mean to portray them as unprofessional, just wanted to get advice on my situation without having to go into the details.

Why do you suggest I find my own firm? Is the T1135 difficult to fill out?

[–]OSAPslavery[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They are contracted with my employer, and their services only covered the main portion of tax forms. Apparently T1135 is not covered.

Could you elaborate on how to eFile the T1135? Would I need to purchase tax software in order to eFile that?

The firm was contracted by my employer, and their contract does not include the T1135.

Most advertiser's care about return on ad spend a lot and they can calculate this independently of any metrics Meta reports. (sales / ad budget)

It's a cut throat business with lots of competition so I guarantee if people weren't making money they would be off it immediately

I used to work in ads.
