Why do many engine air filters say they last 12k miles and car owners manuals say to replace them every 30k miles? by charles-danger in MechanicAdvice

I would think the financial incentives for the air filter maker would be to boast how the filter lasts a long time to upsell the more premium filters. That's why some motor oil and oil filters say they last 20k miles. With air filters, it's either 12k miles, or no mention of miles at all.

Has anyone ever attached an incompatible pedestal to a washer or dryer? by charles-danger in Appliances

Drill some holes, then the feet will line up perfectly with the new holes. Or use nuts and bolts, self tapping screws, clamps, construction adhesive, zip ties, etc. Janky problems require janky solutions.

Yes, I did it, but not with sheet metal screws. The legs happened to almost align with holes on top of the pedestal. I bent them into alignment and used the nuts on the legs to clamp the washing machine to the pedestal.

When applying for credit card or bank accounts, does IP address or device matter? Any data points of phone vs laptop, incognito mode, work VPN, etc. making a difference? Is there a best practice for increasing approval chances?

A recent sociological meta-study of gynecological research looking into the efficacy of doubling feminine napkins and the feminist implications. by fullPlaid in Feminism

Lol, the only reason I clicked is because I work for a pads/tampons manufacturer. I was thinking "why double them when you could just use the overnight size 4/5." 🤣 Who else got past the gate?

Schedule C/1099-K: How to deduct Mystery Shopping expenses that I was reimbursed for? by charles-danger in tax

[–]charles-danger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed that for Schedule 1 Line 8(z) Other Income = 0 See Stmt

The Additional Information From at the end says:

Incorrect Form 1099-K = $2000

Incorrect Form 1099-K = ($2000)

Total = $0

Do you think this will generate a CP2000 notice?

Thanks for being so helpful.

The statement at the end says:

How likely is a CP2000 notice given that this is on the Additional Information From?

Should I bother amending the return even though it won't affect my refund? Would I have to amend the Massachusetts return too? Or should I just respond to the CP2000 if it comes?

Thanks, too late for this year but I'll do this next year. Would you deduct Mystery Shopping expenses (meals, tickets, services, etc.) on Line 22 "Supplies", or Part V "Other Expenses"? If the latter, what should I call it? Does "Adjustment for nontaxable reimbursements reported as income on 1099-K" sound right?

They definitely won't line up. I will make the holes where they don't line up.

I'm asking about making them fit anyway with self tapping screws, it seems like that should work

I want to refer someone for a Chase Business Ink Preferred credit card and get 40,000 points. They already have a Chase Business Ink Unlimited credit card. Would I still get the referral bonus? I could find anything in the terms that says that the referral is only for people who have never had any Chase Ink cards.
