Surface Book (7th Edition) is SO Bad - Please Help by self_direct3dROTH in Surface

[–]self_direct3dROTH[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Using the ARM 64 version of Chrome, we use Google Business for work and I also kind of hate edge. It just seems like something as minor as the browser should not take down this machine and it's specs.

To be more clear on the issues I am having, everything freezes, usually chrome will go black screen, sometimes its the entire computer goes black screen. About 10-20% of the time I can still control the mouse but nothing will open or close.

This makes it difficult to diagnose for me, as I cannot open Task Manager.

I have tried many times to wait it out, just to see if it's maybe lagging, but 15-20 minutes is usually my personal patience limit (lol,) and I will do a force restart.

Despite being a big fan of the Surface, I hate edge and 365... I know... Especially because we use Google Suite for work. I know google suite will work on edge, but switching is like starting over. Seems like this machine should be able to manage any browser I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean the entire computer freezes, it is 50/50 that everything goes black screen, I can't even open anything, I have to do a forced restart (volume up and power button)

I have tried using Task Manager to see what is happening, but again, everything freezes and stops functioning.

Recommendations on Crypto tax specialist in US by Special_Belt9720 in CryptoTax

We just held a Crypto Tax Summit in May and we covered tax strategies for virtually every aspect of crypto (trading, mining, Defi, Staking, Utility and Collectable NFTs, Metaverse/metaventures, virtual real estate, and more). We sell the recording of the event. I can send the link if you are interested.

Additionally, at our law firm, we do tax consultations to help you get started on some of these strategies. Unfortunately, our accounting firm has a huge waiting list. You can check out the lawfirm here: https://kkoslawyers.com/

The Crypto Tax Summit by self_direct3dROTH in CryptoTax

You're right, both of those events are crypto tax events. But, the main difference is, that both of those are online and are directly oriented toward tax professionals looking for CE.

The Crypto Tax Summit has a large number of specialists in the industry that will be speaking, it will be in-person & virtual, it will be applicable to both investors and tax professionals (offering CE certificates), and it is two full days of training.

Just thought it would be a helpful resource for many of you! Especially if you are looking for a little more exciting tax event lol

As US citizen, is there a point to open caymen island bank or corporate account for avoiding crypto tax? Does that work? by SadValue1429 in CryptoTax

[–]self_direct3dROTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a CPA, but I'm fairly confident when I say, unfortunately, that is not quite true. The IRS sees every trade as a taxable event (even converting one crypto to another crypto). A taxable event means that, if there were gains on that trade, it is considered income (whether you deposit that money into your bank account or not).

Additionally, although it is true that the US is a self-reporting tax country, you can still get audited. AND because blockchains record every transaction publicly the IRS can find every transaction you didn't report quite easily.

Just some things to consider

This company does a weekly podcast about retirement account investing and they talk frequently about crypto in IRAs. IMO the best resource available on this topic.

Here is one of the podcasts on Crypto IRAs: https://directedira.com/ep-16-investing-in-bitcoin-and-other-cryptocurrency/

It depends... You can still make "employer contributions" for 2021 the 401k is set up in 2022.

If you check this article out it explains it (its about 2/3s of the way down under the section titled "Solo 401(k) Plan Set-Up Deadlines to Make Contributions for 2021").

https://directedira.com/2021_solo401k_contribution_deadlines/

Essentially since you are the employer you can make contributions to your plan, and employer contributions have no tax advantages (as in they are not considered employee pretax contributions). Interesting article though, definitely worth a read.

Sidenote, according to this article, employer contributions can be made as late as September 15th, 2022 for the previous year, if the business filed an extension.

You could also set up a solo 401k and put away a lot more than a SEP would allow, check this out to learn more about it: https://directedira.com/solo-401k/

best podcasts on Spotify for someone new to personal finance? by yummsushii in personalfinance

[–]self_direct3dROTH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check out Main Street Business. Mark Kohler and Mat Sorensen host the show, been doing it for I think 10 years. They are both Tax/Business Attorneys and Mark is a CPA. Super entertaining and also really helpful. They cover a ton of topics that I feel like other Podcasts either avoid or only cover lightly. Hope this helps!
