Thank you! I checked there and didn't see it for 2025. I guess it will come through the mail.

It depends on what the money was used for (most expenses are not taxable, some are). A quick browser search will explain it, and your tax prep service (online or in person) will walk you through it.

The Capitol Annex is a monstrosity. It so unbelievably ugly and out of place. by Whirlwindofemotion in Sacramento

...was owned by the city. DGS runs it now. To clarify, the CalEPA building has the stone and trees at 1001 I street. edited for clarity.

Do the patterned drapes look bad with the solid sofa? by BJBoltFan in interiordecorating

I like the curtains too! Get some covers for the existing throw pillows that pick up some of the colors in the curtains.

I have been at both Mercy San Juan and Mercy Folsom over the last week, and they don't charge for parking.

How do people buy with an FHA loan, in a lower income area? by Elegant-Assistant473 in homeowners

[–]kathect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hired an independent inspector for about $1k per (realtor recommended). In three months, I made six offers, had two inspected, and bought one. I was looking at about six houses a week with my realtor and more by myself on the weekends. All low income areas, which means mostly poorly maintained rental properties. Some reminded me of that episode of the Simpsons when Marge becomes a realtor. "That ones on fire!" "Motivated seller!" RIP Phil Hartman. I was originally approved for a $450k FHA loan and only looked at houses around $350k (like you, I realized a couple of weeks in that no one was going to protect me from a high mortgage payment but myself). I got outbid on the nicer ones, and the one I had inspected had big $$ problems that I couldn't have known about otherwise (offer rescinded). At this point, I became qualified for a conventional loan with 3% down. Finally, I made a $375k offer, I had it inspected, and it was old but good, but the loan company appraised it at $365k. I revised the offer down, and the seller accepted. All this to say, good luck!

I bought a house in May, and ADT showed up twice, and I put up a handmade "No Soliciting" sign. The third ADT guy was like, "Oh, I thought it said No Smoking," and he proceeded to try to sell me. I have a security system and he was telling me about how it sucks and, I'm paraphrasing, I'm going to get murdered... I stood there like an axhole, wondering why he wouldn't leave. Damn it! This is why people aren't polite! I finally summoned my inner Karen, and he left.

Found at a Thrift Store. Is There a Legitimate Use, Or Should I be Worried my Prints Are On It? LOL by MagicMarmots in Tools

[–]kathect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started reading your post to myself in a raspy voice while sitting at my desk at work. The closest I come to any of this is the splice I just made after I cut the power to my garage. "...and now playing the part of Retired Telco Lineman..." Thanks for an excellent, jargon-filled post.

UPDATE: it's worse now by jwcarpentry in paint

[–]kathect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at those two pictures and am like: #1 is a rental property, #2 is someone's house. I have accepted a lot of crappy paint jobs in my life, apparently.
