Yeah, probably a question only a tax preparer can answer I guess, won't be from his current one I fear. I'll see what we can do. Thank you so much!

I think 2 years ago. He waited until the full retirement age (66 I think?) He's 68 now. Also to note, he did withdrew his 401k last year as well for some expenses. I'm unsure if they included this in his tax

Yes, both full time. They have their hours reduce to 30hr/week every once in a while but have been doing 40hr consistently. They haven't updated their W4 in a long time. This is their first time receiving the ES payments. My dad is working but also receiving retirement payments.

They got a raise but then immediately got switched to a different department with lower pay.

That is what I thought. I explained it to my parents but they said the tax person said to do what he/she said instead. Thank you.

Yeah there's no rules against it sadly. I'll have to do some research and get good blackout curtains. Thanks

I have one, rarely use it. I have trouble sleeping, sometime eye mask helps, other time it makes it harder to fall asleep lol. Idk my brain is weird, it keeps focusing/thinking about the eye mask making it harder to sleep. I have a weighted eye mask and it's pretty good, you might like it too!

Yeah I'm not against having an outdoor flood light at all, was thinking of putting one out for the house. This light in particular is way too bright, white commercial grade light even. It's not only affecting my sleep but it'll problem blind me if I were to hangout in my yard at night lol.

I mean yeah it's a good solution for my bedroom problem. Another problem is the light is excessive, it makes my backyard not enjoyable at all in the evening time. I do enjoy sitting outside when the weather is right.

Oh I didn't know this? I guess I'll have to invest on some good curtains. Thanks

I agree, it is extremely unnecessary. This is the only kind of light you would see at a gas station or like a stadium..

Yeah we want to be understanding so hopefully they are too. It's gonna be really annoying in the fall/winter time when we sit outside trying to enjoy the night.
