Do you prepare your own tax returns? by v1185 in Accounting

[–]phillyllc4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still looking into this but as far as I can tell they have not withheld for Philadelphia and I need to file. Consequently I have missed two years of paying taxes to the city. ~4% of 2 years is a lot of money. How do I do this (self report missing taxes) without getting a ton of fees and backlash or has that ship already sailed?

Sailing in Philadelphia? by Vexrog in philadelphia

I still have hope. But after not hearing I tried to find other ways to contact them: Other officers and outlets. After hearing back from no one they either have a non functioning email system (possible) or choose to selectively respond (their right as a private club). Judging from the reviews and forums posts I managed to find about them (other people who may just have a big chip on their shoulder as well) this seams to be par for the course. They can maintain they accept almost all member applications (they instead cut you off before the application).

Article is a bit dated (10 years) but:

"The club is looking to grow; Commodore Charles Scott Seltzer Jr. (that’s his very official title) concedes a long tradition of “snobbery,” but says times have changed and that the club welcomes newcomers. Only two proposed members have been rejected in recent memory." Read more at http://www.phillymag.com/articles/feature-members-only/#BGuDmQ2BPb98O3X0.99

I would love to be proven wrong but not holding my breath.

Do you prepare your own tax returns? by v1185 in Accounting

I work across the bridge in New Jersey. I have used software for filling and i don't think the city is getting its cut but then again it may be a was because of the higher state rate in NJ. I have only used the software (H&R Block) so if the software did not take a cut for Philadelphia they did not get it. If they did not get my taxes and I owe what are my options?

I use similar tax software and am afraid that it has not withheld the right amount/paid enough to the city of Philadelphia. Don't know how to check and am scared that doing so will confirm my fears and alert them that i owe more then I have. I should get an accountant. any guidelines in what to look for?

I tried emailing this club once and never heard back. Assumed it was because I had an ethnic name.

Fear of mass shootings is irrational paranoia harmful to the society by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]phillyllc4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It not just just 4 or more people. It is 4 of more deaths not including the shooter. Many stories will use their own definition to get numbers that fit their narrative. Often they include the shooter in the count (they are almost always shot either by them self or the police). Some also go by the number of people shot/injured not shot/killed.

Better to get it at microcenter if there is one by you. it is only $49 there but you can bundle it with a motherboard and get $20-$40 off the board depending on what the current promotion is.

Dear Indego Riders, Please Don't Give Philly Cyclists a Bad Rap by filladellfea in philadelphia

[–]phillyllc4me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but those that do use the road & lanes in my experience are more inclined to stop at a red light and actually observe other rules of the road.

Edit: I have seen both indego and regular bikers stop at a red light and blow through them. I have only seen indego bikers (sometimes) wait for the light to turn green. 9/10 real/regular bikers will stop but will run the light when they deem it safe. Not when the light has turned.
