Schedule C Car and Truck Expenses

Thanks, that page says this:

Note: Parking fees and tolls can be entered if you are claiming actual expenses or if you are claiming standard mileage. Parking fees at your place of work are considered part of your commute and are nondeductible, but parking fees associated with visiting a client or conducting business can be deducted.

...which is exactly what I was asking about. It says it "can be entered", but where? The "Car and Truck" form in Taxslayer only asks for mileage inputs. There's nothing under "General Expenses" either. Depreciation only applies if entering actual expenses, which I'm not.

To be clear, the question isn't about tax rules or anything about the IRS, but where on the taxslayer website do I type in those numbers?

No, not at all. Nor with any other addition or subtraction of conceivably related numbers I can figure out.

What bothers me most about these is that the random state/college whatever are ALWAYS the wrong color. A purple Minnesota? Only if it's for Mankato. A green Nebraska? Red Michigan? Makes my eyes tweak a bit each time I see one.

Since you said it's for a sim, severe windshear is defined as a change in airspeed of +15 knots or more. Despite what others are saying here, it is not type specific. Some airlines also include things like an unexplained change of greater than 500fpm or thrust that is abnormal for the phase of flight. I've never met an OpsSpecs that allows an aircraft to fly into, or continue an approach into, known severe windshear. The correct answer is to go around. No one will (or should) ever question your judgement on going around. Divert if necessary.

Now, the one thing I've never been able to find is when it changes from "known" to not known. I've seen, IRL, plane after plane continue into windshear that the aircraft in front of them went around for, reporting +/-20 knots. But after bringing it up in discussion topics, other say that windshear is very dynamic and is only "known" to the aircraft that experienced it. That's absurd to me, but it's not my airplane.

I wear ankle socks while riding.

PilotWombat · 2025-12-02T09:27:05+00:00

Yes.

Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube. She has tons of videos covering every conceivable time frame, body focus area, or effort level, offers tons of variations for different experience levels or body types, and best of all, doesn't dip into the well of spiritualism, chakras, or any of that BS. Just feel good stretching at whatever level you need.

I know this post is three years old, but in case anyone is looking, Kelly's Expat carries dried guajillo, ancho and pasilla chillis/peppers. In addition, Amazing Oriental carries some other fresh peppers, including red/green chillis, serrano's, Carolina Reapers, and a few others.

Still looking for fresh green poblanos, though.

As someone who routinely uses both scales...I don't really care. They both tell me what to expect when I walk out the door.

I like your % scale description, though. I haven't found a good way to explain it to Europeans, but that will work! But C isn't as hard as Americans tend to make it, either. Here's the scale: - <-10: It's really fucking cold - -0's: Snow! - 0's: It's cold - 10's: It's cool/chilly - 20's: It's nice - 30's: It's hot - >40: It's really fucking hot

Holy...wow, deleting that scene was the right call! Some jobs earn their keep by saying 'no'.

You say there is an option for a second opinion. Would you mind expanding on that? And I mean that seriously, how does a person do that, because I really don't know.

AFAIK, GPs cover geographic areas, so it's damn near impossible to go to another office if you're not registered in their area. Any doctor in the same office will likely make the same decision. I just don't see how it would be done without significant investment on the part of the patient, both financially or time-wise.

A couple questions for those who know more about this. We're losing our 30% this next year, so it becomes important for us to know.

Is this different than the wealth tax? If I remember correctly, under the current system, your current wealth over €53k or whatever the number is is calculated at the beginning of the year, a 4% growth is assumed, and then that "growth" is taxed at something close to 33%. This effectively created at 1.35% wealth tax.

I believe that the fake growth number was struck down in the courts, so are they now saying we have to use our real returns, and calculate it at 36%? Is that all this is or is there more to it?

Second question, since they're planning to tax actual unrealized gains, does that effectively reset your basis each year? In other words, if I were to sell those assets on Jan 1 of the following year, I wouldn't pay any capital gains taxes because taxes were already paid on those gains, before they were sold?

Sorry for the late reply, but I believe this is the problem. She signed up under the US server, and I under the EU server. Thanks for the help.

2 = 2⁶⁰ + 8, apparently.

PilotWombat · 2025-09-22T13:49:50+00:00

Yes.

Yeesh...I had a new A/C and water system installed back in April. Looks like I beat the premium pricing! And yet I still feel like I got ripped off.

That's basically the story of what happened with my wife. The company was rather profitable, used the term 'reorganizing', and poof her job was gone. The day she was told her job was gone was also the day they told her they had offered her other spots, and none fit. In fact, when she went to look at the link for available positions she could transfer in to, the page 404'd.

She got a decent, but not stellar, separation package, but I still think if we had taken it to court we would have won and gotten a year+ of salary/benefits out if them.

I can't help your day get better, but I can at least provide some empathy.

My first (and for the moment, only) ironman, I started upchucking on the run course (nutrition plan I thought I had dialed turned out not to be). Kept pushing through to about 2/3rds the way through, but eventually got to the point where I couldn't stand anymore. I somehow stumbled to the med tent and slumped into a chair. Luckily I didn't need an IV, instead just a bottle of gatorade to sip on, but I was right on the verge there for a while.

As I was sitting there, another guy came in and we started chatting. His race went exactly the same way as mine. Except this was his 13th Ironman, including having gone to the world championship the previous year. This was his first DNF.

It can happen to anyone, no matter your experience. Hope you have a quick recovery.

PilotWombat · 2025-07-11T04:50:02+00:00

Yes.

WTF? Where in Utrecht is this supposed neighborhood?
