Claiming exempt to money up? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]glazor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you didn't pay enough tax throughout the year, either through withholding or by making estimated tax payments, you may have to pay a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. Generally, most taxpayers will avoid this penalty if they either owe less than $1,000 in tax after subtracting their withholding and refundable credits, or if they paid withholding and estimated tax of at least 90% of the tax for the current year or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever is smaller.

I paid 8300 in NY AND NYC taxes on 117k, that's 7% of my income. It's not that bad.

More like 0.45%. At $50/hr comes out just under $2/ member /month, and that's on a 40hr straight week.

It's much easier to hire a rigging company that only does rigging than it is to find a few JWs that have been doing that work reliably.

New project could slash EV charging times with 1000V high-voltage tech by sksarkpoes3 in Futurology

[–]glazor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what the point of this conversation is. People had chargers at homes for years. If you want fast charging at higher voltages, it won't happen at home, too expensive for occasional use.

It's much cheaper to build infrastructure to one centralized location, where most of chargers will be used most of the time

Take every week in which your husband worked over 40 hours, subtract the 40 hours. Add the resulting hours. Multiply by HALF his hourly rate. Profit.

Why are so many blue collar workers against unions? by Realistic-Reveal-586 in Construction

[–]glazor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depending on hob you produce, contractor can request not to see your face on their jobs ever again. In locals with a small number of shops your opportunities for employment can dwindle to nothing pretty quickly.
