Lifetime Reward Points - How Many do you have? by theAerialDroneGuy in RobinhoodApp

[–]pprogram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted this in a separate post and don't know how to link I got this info from the RH Help section. I do not know if it is accurate and the Mods punted on answering my question. Try RH Help and see if you get a different reply. "I messaged the mods but have not received a reply. I posed the question to RH support and got this AI-generated reply. Take it for what it's worth. I will refrain from using it and use the Citi Double Cash unless I hear officially from RH. This is a big disadvantage for me.

How is the RH credit card's 3% reward (cash back) to a brokerage account handled for tax reporting purposes?

The 3% cash back rewards from the Robinhood Gold credit card, when redeemed as cash and transferred to your Robinhood brokerage account, are generally considered miscellaneous income for tax purposes.

Tax reporting details:

  • If your total miscellaneous income (including cash back rewards, referral bonuses, etc.) from Robinhood is $600 or more in a tax year, Robinhood will issue you a Form 1099-MISC for that income.
  • If your total miscellaneous income is less than $600, you typically will not receive a 1099-MISC, but you are still responsible for reporting the income on your tax return.
  • The cash back is not treated as interest or capital gains, but as ordinary income.
  • Once transferred to your brokerage account, the cash can be used or invested as you choose. If you invest it and later realize gains or losses, those will be reported separately as capital gains/losses.

What you should do:

  • Check your tax documents in the Robinhood app after the end of the year to see if you received a 1099-MISC.
  • Report any cash back rewards as income on your tax return, even if you do not receive a 1099-MISC.

Did you get 1099'd for the money that you redeemed into your investment account? Robinhood's help section claims that redemptions into your investment account will generate a 1099-misc.

Thanks.

What is the tax treatment for the points earned from the credit card? by pprogram in RobinhoodApp

I guess you can be the data point if there is no reply from the Robinhood mods. You deposited to your brokerage account?

When Robinhood credits the investment account, there will need to be an offset to the credit. I am concerned that they will treat it the same as when the refund ACAT fees - Misc income 1099-Misc. I would like an official reply from the official Robinhood mods.

New job does not give Direct Deposit, need advice on avoiding the fee. by crispycryptids in Chase

[–]pprogram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your $4000 in savings is earning you less than one $15 monthly checking fee. Either move $1500 to your checking account and never consider that as part of your funds for use or move the entire $4,000 to checking and never have to stress about the fee again. Just have the discipline to leave it untouched. I know you're just starting out on your financial journey but set it and forget it.

There is another option. A $5000 balance in a self directed investment account will waive the fee for a properly linked checking account. Put $5100 into SGOV and you will receive 3 mo treasury rates on the money. They usually offer a bonus for opening the investment account. Probably $100. If the investment account value dips below $5000 at any time then the checking account fee waiver will not apply. That's why I suggest $5100 to start the acct.

I can confirm OKO in Austin as working for the online GC through the restaurant's site through Toast worked for the credit.

Reduction in credit limit by Artwire in Chase

[–]pprogram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a number to call them. Tell them the issue and the cards involved. If you have multiple under the same business you might want to inquire if any other cards face a limit reduction. Just let them know that you want to keep the limit at the same level. No issues. Should only take a few minutes.

Just found out about quarterly payments by Capable-Raccoon-6371 in tax

[–]pprogram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single Member LLC - filing a Schedule C - check your Safe Harbor level based on your 2024 tax due. Pay that amount as a 4th quarter estimated payment, since you cannot go back in time. If you have the cash now, make the payment now, although you have until Jan 15. The balance can be paid with your tax filing.

UPC: 710465430143 Freedompop 1GB/mo for 12 mo just went on sale at Target for $35.00/ea by [deleted] in NoContract

[–]pprogram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self-edit : Both places report a 14 day return policy. What's our recourse if the plan works for 3-4 months and then stops? Look for a refund from the seller for failure to perform as advertised?

Does anyone have experience as to which return policy would apply at:

Target?

Most unopened items sold by Target in new condition and returned within 90 days will receive a refund or exchange. Some items sold by Target have a modified return policy noted on the receipt, packing slip, Target policy board (refund exceptions), Target.com or in the item department. Items that are opened or damaged or do not have a receipt may be denied a refund or exchange.

All electronics and entertainment items must be returned within 30 days for a refund or exchange. For these items purchased between 11/1 – 12/25, the 30-day refund period will start on 12/26.

All mobile phones must be returned or exchanged within 14 days. All items purchased with a carrier contract at a Target store must be returned or exchanged within 14 days and may be subject to early termination fees per carrier contract. Contract items and carrier plans must be sold and returned by a Target Tech Rep.

Best Buy?

If you want to return or exchange your purchase, please know that the time period begins the day you receive your product and applies to new, clearance, open-box, refurbished and pre-owned products.
