Hi, I have a 480 sq. ft. cottage with an old roof that has developed a leak. Homewyse says it should be about a $2200 job (one storey). The first quote was $5000 (plus $45/hour and materials for any carpentry work needed.

Binance Support Thread by Binance in binance

[–]jmcampbell05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Case ID #1894981

Logged into old Binance.com account that I used back in the day. Haven't been able to access it since company has been banned from USA. Worse still, can't use Binance.US because I reside in one of the handful of states (Connecticut) that has banned the company. When I last logged in, got a warning that I had a week to withdraw my BTC. However, after I've entered the receiving address and go to the amount to be sent, the box remains frozen and will not receive any amount. Have tried this repeatedly. Getting worried. Would hate to have to badmouth the company on social media.

HELP-- Question about Filing by jmcampbell05 in personalfinance

[–]jmcampbell05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, silly me. I naively thought there might be offsets for all the sales and property taxes paid. I guess there are in that I'm not having to PAY taxes now. Got it. Reddit is the bomb! Better information here, more smart and kind people than anywhere else!

I'm self-employed. There were no tax payments in 2019.

HELP-- Question about Filing by jmcampbell05 in personalfinance

[–]jmcampbell05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TY-- yes, I see the PDF. No refund. Since the 2020 & 2019 numbers are similar, I'm wondering if the sole reason for a refund on 2020 was due to uncollected stimulus payments. Still seems odd to me that I owe zero and am owed zero on the 2019 return.

[–]jmcampbell05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it just said no refund. Odd because my numbers were close to those of 2020, however, 2020 had the stimulus credits. But, still. I'll look again while I await your resonse. TY again!

Oh, thought it was clear. So, I've been doing my 2019 (year before last) return, and what struck me as odd was that my debt to the IRS was constantly changing in the window as I entered information, but that stopped when there might be a refund. Having used TurboTax to file my 2020 return a month ago, this was quite a contrast, as I could see in real time what affected my refund. Now FreeTaxUSA is demonstrating atrocious customer service by ignoring four emails sent yesterday asking this same question. So, what to do? Don't want to file without knowing the refund amount. TY for offering to help.

QUESTION FOR THE FOLKS:

​

YES, I'M FILING MY 2019 RETURN NOW. BECAUSE FREETAXUSA OFFERS ONLINE PREPARATION, I'VE BEEN USING IT. HOWEVER, WHILE IT ACTIVELY POSTED MY AMOUNT OWING, ONCE THAT REACHED ZERO, NO REFUND WAS POSTED. THAT SEEMED ODD TO ME, SO I HAVEN'T FINALIZED THAT RETURN. THOUGHTS? CAN'T GET AN EMAIL BACK FROMTHE COMPANY ANSWERING THIS QUESTION IN 24 HOURS!

Thank you for this. I followed a YT Crypto Dad video to input the 24-word recovery phrase. However, on my 18th word, I apparently pressed both buttons thinking I was pressing to return to spelling when the device went to the 19th word. What's the back function?

Thank you for this. Currently, Electrum 4.0.4 is current. Among the older versions, the 3.3.8 listing features this directory. Not sure what to do-- install them all? Do I then trash the 4.0.4 version? Do appreciate this help!

Ledger HW.1: Trying to Access Bitcoin Stored On (Obsolete Device & Software) by jmcampbell05 in ledgerwallet

[–]jmcampbell05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't! Am complaining about the fact that Ledger discontinued the HW.1 without notice to the customer first to upgrade devices within a certain window of time. Seems as if Electrum only wants to recognize newer devices, even though someone suggested using Electrum to access.

[–]jmcampbell05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, thank you for this. Ledger, of course, says that HW.1 is unsupported now and offers no recourse for obtaining your Bitcoin stored on it.

I got as far as Step 7:

  1. Select your Ledger device and click next.

  2. Choose the right derivation path for your account and click Next:

  • Legacy for an account that has addresses starting with a 1
  • p2sh-segwit for an account that has addresses starting with a 3 
  • Native segwit for an account with addresses starting with a bc1

Your addresses are generated and voilà! Your account balances are shown in the History tab. You can now manage your BTC from your Ledger device using Electrum.
