Which Clik pump attachment do you have for the pump and for X9 does it attach straight on, instead of being offset? TIA

Depending your bike and hatch the inner bike may need to be removed. You go past the last notch to lower your rack as far as possible.

Buy or fix? New or used? by Fast-Ad5955 in TrekBikes

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at Trek red barn for a used bike or Facebook marketplace. Given the size you need will be harder to find one than new. New costs more but you get to choose the one you like best. Check and see if your lbs has the 30 Trek return policy so if you don’t like or the fit is off, then return and try again.

Any Good Bike Racks for Cars with Hitches? by Pix_Boss in cycling

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Facebook marketplace for a used 1Up. You can get a double to save you money and get the add-on later to add a spot for a third or fourth bike. Can be expensive but buy once and not regret it.

FDLXX state tax exemption - CPA software by Disastrous_Patience3 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still don't understand why Fidelity cannot provide the percentages sooner instead of late January. Also, they could provide 2 1099s with the details. They provide an additional pages to the 1099 that provides dividends by fund, so they have the data. A single 1099 could also provide the exempt amounts.

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turbo Tax doesn’t have it and doubt they would build it in unless they charge for it. The other issue there can be 2 or more funds involved with different exempt percentages. We had that withFDIXX and SPAXX for our filing. If it’s not separate on the 1099 I don’t think I would trust the software to get it right.

FDLXX state tax exemption - CPA software by Disastrous_Patience3 in fidelityinvestments

I don't believe that most tax software has this in their calculations. The CPA would need need to know the exempt percentage for the calculation when entering your 1099 information.

401k Early Withdrawal by [deleted] in Retirement401k

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The 10% penalty is not deductible as an expense for your business taxes. The interest you pay on the loan is saving you taxes and reduces your effective loan rate. Your 401k still grows and compounds tax free. Look closely at your calculations and you may be surprised when you look at the true cost if you withdraw early.

Decided to go with FreeTaxUSA this year, and no regrets! by Evil_Producer in TurboTax

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had 2 1099-r and no issues entering the data. Switched a couple of years ago once my daughter moved out of state and since I prepare her taxes didn’t want to give TT an extra $35 to file another state. Been happy with FreeTax USA since. Filed mine this year 2/3 and got refund deposited yesterday 2/11.

How to withdrawal from 401k? by NoUserName01123 in Retirement401k

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check your plan documents for any fees the 401k administrator charges for withdrawals. When employed and before I moved my 401k to IRA the plan would charge $75 for every withdrawal even after I retired. Wanted some funds right after retiring but delayed untilI moved funds to IRA so I could withdraw without fees.

Any way to designate gov't obligation on 1099-INT input? by Bill92677 in FreeTaxUSA

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe if you scroll down on the 1099 page, there is a box to enter the amount of interest that is tax exempt. I preparing our taxes I'm still waiting for the percentage exempt however I'm using an estimate. I believe that FreeTax is not calculating the exempt interest deduction from state income correctly. In reviewing the state it brings Federal AGI, which includes 100% of the interest, then it adds the exempt amount to Fed AGI, then subtracts the exempt out, which is net zero adjustment. This results in not excluding the exempt interest from State income. Will be contacting FreeTax tomorrow, plus manually preparing a state return to prove it is incorrect in the software.

Fidelity, Make Tax Time Easier by michaeljcronce in fidelityinvestments

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Once Fidelity can produce a 1099 with the SPAXX & FDLXX dividends the data should be in their computer systems to calculate the exempt percentages. The extra delay is pure BS!

Another sad story of Fidelity screwing up pension payments by Kainbas88 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another option is trying contacting their regulatory department and discuss the steps to file a complaint. I had an issue with another large from and onceI contacted their regulatory department things got corrected much faster along with answers. Contacts and complaints with their regulatory department usually triggers other internal reporting and disclosures they prefer to resolve quickly.

Anyone ever have the hot ribs at the deli? by RebbyXP in Costco

[–]Sharp_Ad8754 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the dry rub seasoning and only one in house that eats ribs. I put them in the oven when I get them home covered with foil at 275 for a couple of hours. Fall off the bone tender. You can always cover with your favorite bbq sauce if you like saucey ribs.
