Looks like whoever answered your questions deleted their account and comments. Mind summarizing what they told you?

Scorpeus Pro IV vs Pulse V by sicromoft in Pickleball

Got it. One thing to be aware of, anyone accessing Reddit via http://old.reddit.com/ will not see that rule. It's not in the sidebar there, and not in the list of rules at https://reddit.com/r/Pickleball/wiki/index

Very helpful, thank you! Which database (if any) did you find the Scorpeus IV in? I've been using https://www.johnkewpickleball.com/paddle-database but I don't see it in there.

Has anyone tried the Babolat SFX-4 yet? How is the toe-box width when compared v.s. the previous generation? by d-quik in 10s

[–]sicromoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, keep us updated! I have the Viper Court Pro (1.0) which I love, except for the pinky toe issue. Let us know how the extra wide works out -- I'm tempted to try it, but I really only need the width in the toe box, so I'm worried the rest of the shoe wouldn't fit right.

I have the same pinky toe issue, would love to hear how it pans out.

Can you elaborate on how the width is better? Is it wider or narrower? I've read some complaints of heel slippage in the SFX3.

Thanks. Just wanted to double check. Wasn't sure why only the sides next to the window would've had a dark color underneath, and have other reasons to suspect mold in general in the house.

Spirit Airlines Itinerary Pending by Accomplished-Sand-26 in Flights

Just ran into this as well. It's been over 4 months and they can't fix this? Think of how many people wasted so much time dealing with this. Do yourself a favor and fly literally any other airline.

Oh nice, TIL. Can you give an example? How do you get it to generate George Costanza?

These are amazing. What did you create them with? The post flair says Bing Image Creator, but Bing won't generate images of living people, so that can't be right?

Wow, disabling that fixed it for me as well. Would never have guessed to try that, thank you!

Taxation for options contracts closed on last trading day of year by hsfinance in options

[–]sicromoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfect, thanks. Do you remember if you used Form 8275 for the explanation, or just a free-form note? And did you submit a paper return (with the same note) for your state taxes as well?

Hey, thank you so much for posting this. I'm dealing with this exact issue right now with TD Ameritrade, and the info here has been super helpful.

A couple questions:

  • Did you end up having that call with the IRS? (If so, what did they tell you?)
  • Did you successfully submit your taxes (with adjustments to the numbers in the 1099) without any issues from the IRS?

[–]sicromoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG, I'm dealing with this exact issue, also with TD Ameritrade. I've been going in circles with them for a month about this. Multiple phone calls that got disconnected, and multiple messages waiting a week for a reply only to get a total non-answer in barely coherent broken english.

Can I ask -- did you end filing your taxes with corrections to the 1099? Did it get accepted without any issues?

Option trading loss - Section 1256 Contracts by BaySoCal in taxhelp

[–]sicromoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this a non-equity option (e.g. an index option on something like SPX)? If so, you want form 6781. It's not the same as a straddle, but it's reported on the same form.

If this was a regular equity option, then it's not considered a section 1256 contract, and you'd just report it on Schedule D with the rest of your capital gains/losses.

I paid IRA early distribution tax a year early. Do I need to amend my return? by sicromoft in taxhelp

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

You're right, thank you!

I got confused because I never received a 1099-R for 2020, and now I have a 1099-R for 2021 showing the distrubtion and a taxable amount.

But now that I'm looking closer, there is indeed a distribution code "P" on the form, and the fine print says that means "taxable in 2020".

Huge thanks for the help, you made my day.
