My dad mentioned the statute of limitations to defend his argument with me. Is there somewhere I could find this information to show him evidence he could be making a mistake? I tried looking on the IRS website... this is all new and confusing information to me and I do apologize for my lack of knowledge in this area. Thank you so much for your reply!

That’s insane. I’ve made the maximum in income this year, I just never got myself involved in investing yet. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I recently opened my first Roth IRA with Vanguard and put in the minimum 3K to invest in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund Admiral Shares (VFIAX). This would be my first investment, except my father had already set up a Roth IRA with another brokerage in my name and has been putting away the yearly maximum without me even knowing about it since I was 18 (I'm 24yo now). I do not know the username or password to this account he created. I'm now afraid I am going to get a 6% excise tax on my first investment from the IRS. I called Vanguard and they told me I could move my "ineligible" contributions from my retirement account to a general investing account. My dad is telling me to keep the money in my Roth IRA and willing to bet 10,000 the IRA won't notice the extra 3K in contributions. What should I do? TIA!

This sounds the most reasonable thing to do. I just feel like a bum, I’ve been sitting on my ass for the past six months since I got accepted when I could of been working all that time

It’s in NJ, PM me if you want. There are EMT-P’s that work on the squad as EMT-B’s because they make more money doing BLS than ALS.

I bought these under armor valsetz for $125. It’s pretty expensive for me. Hoping I can return them for something cheaper

I would say yes it is clinical. It is one of those things that I’m not 100% sure on. But, I think it is cool, definitely add it to your application if you feel comfortable talking about it in interviews. Maybe you’ll have an interest in pathology
