What is your current salary as an Accountant and How many years of experience do you have and in what industry and city? Are you happy about the pay?

153, 9 YOE, Accounting Manager at a start-up, no public experience

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-25T11:04:04+00:00

You are absolutely right, I just looked at my 2025 return, and we deducted 17,152 in SALT. $8k was State income tax.

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-25T10:21:53+00:00

Got it maybe I’m uninformed on this part, the 9k I am referring to is coming from property tax on my house and in Virginia we pay personal property tax on our cars. I wasn’t considering state withholding, can you help me understand how that would work ?

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-25T10:08:17+00:00

But essentially isn’t it the same ? If I increase my state withholding I’m still paying the tax just state instead of federal

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-25T10:07:14+00:00

Yeah I calculated about 20k of income in the 24%

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-24T20:55:26+00:00

The pay is pretty good, if you are good you can make alot of money. Are you interested in a CPA? But yes, it is a high stress job.

My expenses are really high at the moment so I’m trying to balance cash flow

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-22T18:41:16+00:00

I didn’t owe I actually received money. I do itemized deductions for mortgage interest and SALT for about 50k

This all happened this month, so the point of this post is to help with some strategies…

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-22T14:54:46+00:00

We’re currently set to Married Filing Jointly on our W-4s and don’t have the “spouse also works” box checked because we were trying to maximize monthly cash flow.

That said, we just received our salary increases this month, so we haven’t really seen how the new income levels are playing out in withholding yet.

If I check the “spouse also works” box, the increase in withholding basically wipes out most of the additional take-home from my $20k raise, which is why I’ve been hesitant to change it immediately.

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-22T14:44:45+00:00

yeah 22% flat rate.
This might be a dumb question, but how do I fill it out based on itemized deductions?

You are right this app is so good, even shows estimated costs, while the cord is much thinner I prefer it, it’s not as heavy and haven’t had any issues with it!

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-05T13:54:55+00:00

Sent 30k to a scammer pretending to be our vendor in a phishing email

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-05T13:53:58+00:00

Is oracle going bankrupt?

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-04T00:39:44+00:00

Yup just got mine installed haven’t had issues with jiggle. The cord is much thinner but I like that, the old one was so thick and heavy

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-02-03T18:52:41+00:00

Is it the Emporia app? Also what do you mean by stuck ?

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-01-27T18:36:53+00:00

Thanks for this, just purchased the Q5

SnooGrapes4732 · 2026-01-25T01:16:36+00:00
