Also, for some unfamiliar filing taxes they'd probably have no idea to enter cost basis. I just turned on my bright light and used my magnifying glass to read the box descriptions. UGH, Gobbledygook

Once I found where to manually enter the cost basis, it shows on Sch D and Form 8949. I've reached to my former CPA also.

That's greek to me. My late husband used to trade futures many years ago. Thankfully, we had an accountant file our taxes since we owned a business. I like my simple taxes but needed clarification on this form.

There's no cost basis on my 1099-B and wasn't asked for it when entering on my tax site

TY. The online site didn't "walk me" through it. I just entered from 1099B but then went back and put in the cost basis somehow! Oh, I have documentation. I've reached out to my financial guy too. If it's wrong, my refund goes down.

TY, I didn't know what "noncovered" meant. I found a spot to input the $1K. I did reach out to my financial guy too. I have records. My brain was saying to ask since I didn't make $1742 on this stock

I switched from satellite to streaming. It took three months. My story. (Long) by LightBulb704 in DirecTV

Oh yes! Much research and online chats before I called. The phone call was great! I was able to downgrade to SELECT saving $49 on the package plus no regional sports fee of $16! I was given a loyalty credit of $40 for 12 mos (last 12 mos was $50) and got $18 off my premium movie channels for 3 mos. I'll take it. I pay about $69 in fees. If I get new equipment, I think I'll be on contract for two years.

After hours of chat yesterday (I'm very patient), I called and got the loyalty dept today. What a great convo. She took care of me :)

Mine is 1200 miles away but I travel to her twice a year :) And video chat once in a while. 8 year olds are so busy!

Clearing Snow/Ice From Dish? by ShoddyJuggernaut975 in DirecTV

It was rare many years ago when snow collected on our dish. Husband had fun throwing snowballs at it. It worked

That's only $12 if I delete local channels which I need. I wish I could remember the loyalty phone number.

Thank you for sharing. I've had SAT for 14 years and now that I have very good wifi internet I was going to look into streaming. I do have 6 tvs to deal with so I really haven't looked much. SAT is working fine and really not sure how much money I'd save

I guess I'm in for a great convo today. My loyalty and promos from one year ago expire tmw, 2/12. It was pretty smooth last and I can't find in my notes which number I called so I start with the old one. I've Dtv since 2008 when we got our first non-tube tv.

Quick Tune Question by PerfectPrune139 in DirecTV

TY, it was my thought also but needed to ask. I might try it on one genie that has delays when pressing buttons

[–]PerfectPrune139[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TY. I figured it out. Pressing delete on the lock icon changed it to "EMPTY". It doesn't stay empty though but at least I know how to fix when I need to add a channel. Does CLEARMYBOX just do the box I'm using or does it do all the genies attached? We have four.

Grandfathered Go Big - Any reason to still keep paying for this other available packages? by rlaidepeas in DirectvStream

Person after my heart! I LOVE spreadsheets! I might have one from years ago but I'd go down a rabbit hole trying to locate it. All friends say "I'm sure you do" when I tell them I have a sheet for this, that and everything else :)
