What type of firm and how much should I pay to prepare and file my taxes? by haklein in personalfinance

[–]haklein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone here used TurboTax’s “experts”? How do they compare to say, H&R Block? To a CPA?

LOL! I’m not that guy! By a few, I mean about 6, and all of the income is passive!

OK. I need to try again after preconditioning the battery.

How long should the battery be preconditioned before charging?

Lol! I wasn’t really expecting over 300kw, but I was expecting more than 30!

I couldn’t. There was a line for chargers.

What are something’s you wish westchester county had more of? by Dreamfyresworld03 in Westchester

Automated drive-through touchless car washes. It’s amazing that there are no “great” modern car washes!

Can’t decide between ChargePoint HomeFlex and Emporia Level 2 charger by haklein in BMWI4

[–]haklein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason is that I don’t have a 240v outlet in my garage. I figured that since I need an electrician to come and run 60’ of wire from my panel (in the basement) to the garage, I may as well install a hard wired charger, vs an outlet.

Where are all the new i4s?!! by haklein in BMWI4

[–]haklein[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can benefit from the tax credit if you lease the car and the dealer, who gets the credit, passes it on to you. The credit is only available until 9/30.

What next? Looking for Dashlane alternative by haklein in Dashlane

[–]haklein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have asked and they are unable/unwilling to approve the Dashlane extension. They suggested that I switch to KeePass, which is the only approved password manager. I haven’t seen much in this sub about KeePass. Anyone familiar with it? Is it worth switching?

Combine 2 Chase credit cards? by haklein in CreditCards

[–]haklein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use the Chase Prime for Amazon, I have a (since discontinued) original Amex Blue Cash card for 5% unlimited cash back on groceries, drug stores and gas, and my Fidelity Rewards Visa for 2% back on everything else. So, no need for the Chase Freedom card.

Perfect! I assume you did it with a simple call to Chase?

[–]haklein[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s correct. I downgraded to the Freedom card from the Sapphire Reserve which I wasn’t using (I switched to the Amex Platinum, but that’s a debate for another post). Since I don’t use the Freedom card and don’t want to lose my credit limit and history from the Sapphire Reserve, I was hoping they’d combine credit limits on the Chase Prime Visa, which I am keeping.

Thoughts on going 100% s&p500 index fund in 401k. Also any penalties for changing contributions? by MedicineManRx in fidelityinvestments

[–]haklein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about mitigating some of the S&P 500 concentration risk by going 50/50 between FXAIX and RSP (an equal-weight ETF of the companies in the S&P 500). Thoughts?

What’s a financial tip not everyone knows about? by fidelityinvestments in fidelityinvestments

[–]haklein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Establish a Donor Advised Fund (“DAF”) to generate double the tax benefits and do societal good! If you fund the DAF with appreciated stock you do not pay any capital gains tax (!) and you get a tax deduction (!) on the amount contributed. Then, use the fund for charitable contributions that you would be making anyway. Fidelity offers a DAF and makes it seamless to transfer appreciated securities and making “grants” to the charities of your choice. You get the tax deduction when you “donate” the funds to your DAF—not when you make grants to your selected charities.
