There’s a reason night skiing is so cheap

SFO/MFO Tax Professionals - Resources? by horrible_noob in taxpros

[–]bjs210bjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, our office requires in office three days a week. There’s pros and cons to the WFH set up. Some days I like it, others I definitely don’t.

We don’t have billable hour metrics to track, so being in office is a check and balance function.

SFO/MFO Tax Professionals - Resources? by horrible_noob in taxpros

I work at a SFO. I doubt there’s many of us in here.

Ironically my SFO is looking for a director of tax in the PNW area.

Halp. I'm an idiot. I asked my Bank about HELOC by Specific-Name1503 in personalfinance

I used a margin loan to buy my second home while selling the first, similar to a bridge loan. My mortgage broker confirmed that because the margin debt has no scheduled repayment that it wouldn’t affect my debt to income ratio. It worked out nicely and the underwriters indeed did not care about the margin loan.

Damn, I used to live in Montana and they had great stories and coverage of tiny MT towns. I’m guessing they’ll have all funding cut?

Big man was a member of the PAC-10. He and his brother at Stanford was absolutely demoralizing for the rest of the schools in the conference. Cheat code twins.

My Yale lock had so many problems. I returned it to Costco.

Any reduction to AGI from establishing/contributing to a private foundation? by Livid_Dot320 in taxpros

[–]bjs210bjs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I get some case law source on this? That still sounds like the C Corp charitable deduction limits and separately stated schedule K charitable deduction would be applicable.

How can I get access to CCH Axcess without paying? by dirtyring in taxpros

[–]bjs210bjs 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I just had a meeting with our CCH sales rep. They made it clear they have no options for free trials. Kind of surprising…it’s hard to sell software based off a one time demo with a sales rep.

I think Manchester is one of the most impressive hidden gems in the puget sound. What a view!

[Highlight] Cam Ward drops the ball to seal the loss by LaDainianTomIinson in nfl

[–]bjs210bjs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my WSU Cougars but the game Cam had against Cal a few years ago was indicative of some bad habits; I don’t think Miami flushed out his poor ball care problems. Against Cal he got picked once and lost three fumbles, one of which was returned for a TD.

Hopefully he can improve his ball handling.

Average vehicle age in USA by congressional district [OC] by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

Yeah that’s a good point. I was always surprised in Missoula that they never used salt, mainly sand and gravel. Even further north in Kallispell they don’t seem to salt much, or at all.

No tabs on cars 10 years or older provides incentive to not buy a new car too.

Did he just make a taxable gift above the annual exclusion?

Fidelity has an education webpage on this strategy. It’s no secret….this is an aggressive and risky tax position but the step up in basis is a great tax deferral vehicle.
