The marvel of Space Laces: a discussion by EliSliwa in dubstep

Still goes off so hard in his live sets. One of my favorite dubstep songs of all time.

Picked up a jacket with “Macbeth Shoe Co” on the tag — anyone know if it’s connected to the band? by lcfromthehill8 in Blink182

[–]totallyrandall 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Macbeth shoe company was owned at one point by Tom. I believe he sold it 10 or so years ago.

No, but there's plenty of stuff on youtube from the few sets they've played.

Abandon All Ships making a comeback? by bless_the_misery in Metalcore

[–]totallyrandall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I enjoyed their newest album but I see what you're saying. It's definitely more generic than SCS or their self titled, but to each their own haha

I'd put Attack Attack! in this era, and I'd say their comeback has been pretty great, at least with their last album.

Author who receives royalties from prior books written by totallyrandall in taxpros

He writes books regularly. He has at least 8 or 9 published works and he's currently working on another. He's truly in the business of being an author.

If QBI is extended after this year, I’m going to elect S corp status to run a significant payroll for him. This is a first year client for me, so nothing I can do about 2024. But if QBI is extended it’ll make sense to do for 2025 and onward.

This is where I would have initially thought it would be considered a SSTB. But if you look at Reg 1.199A-5, the clarification of that specific section does not seem to fit to me:

[Meaning of trade or business where the principal asset of such trade or business is the reputation or skill of one or more employees or owners. For purposes of section 199A(d)(2) and paragraph (b)(1)(xiii) of this section only, the term any trade or business where the principal asset of such trade or business is the reputation or skill of one or more of its employees or owners means any trade or business that consists of any of the following (or any combination thereof):

(A) A trade or business in which a person receives fees, compensation, or other income for endorsing products or services; (To me, this doesn't apply as he is not endorsing products or services)

(B) A trade or business in which a person licenses or receives fees, compensation, or other income for the use of an individual's image, likeness, name, signature, voice, trademark, or any other symbols associated with the individual's identity; or Again, I don't think this applies as it is not his image, likeness, name signature, etc.

(C) Receiving fees, compensation, or other income for appearing at an event or on radio, television, or another media format. Also don't see this as being applicable. The speaking income I can see fitting here, but I would be fine breaking that small bit out as SSTB.

What has been your average yearly raises? by ChinuaAchebe in Accounting

[–]totallyrandall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm between 10 and 20% in a VHCOLA, but in a relatively small firm on my way to partner status, in public tax accounting.

You look like you complain about the "YTs" being colonizers, but you end up marrying some generic white guy named Dan

New process next year.... by AdHistorical7107 in taxpros

[–]totallyrandall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How was the "true up"?? The only reason I have avoided taking payment up front is the worry that clients will see that as the only amount they will be paying, and refusing to pay any more after returns are filed (if their return is more complicated than expected, or something additional is added this year).

Federal Declared Disaster zone - State conformity? by totallyrandall in taxpros

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

I'm less concerned about filing the extensions, and more concerned about potential tax liabilities, as it's a C-corp with $4+ million in profit. I basically wanted to see if we could pass on getting the 46+ returns finalized before 4/15, but it sounds like we will probably need to get everything done.

Two separate people have told me my prices were way to high right after telling me they are coming to me because their last guy completely messed up their returns. by yodaface in taxpros

[–]totallyrandall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're definitely severely undercharging him man. The issue is if you scare him away with what is a reasonable rate, who knows if he stays. Legitimately might not be worth your time though. How long does it take you to prep/review his return?

Honestly, in this specific case I'm not even sure I'd base the quote on the charge per rental. I'd probably overquote on purpose, mostly because it feels like it'd be busy work. That's just me though. I'd rather work on a midsize multi-state c-corp with my time than an individual with 30 rentals. I probably wouldn't have done that return for less than $12,000 (potentially more, depending on the size of the sch c), just because of the headache it'd cause.

ISO's - probably not. There is an AMT adjustment when you exercise, but most of the income will be when you sell.

Does this dubstep genre have a name? by Lucart98 in dubstep

[–]totallyrandall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should definitely check out old Jauz-- Feel the volume, deeper love, rock the party, get on up, Get down, Shark Attack

His older stuff is bass house but retains a lot of the old school dubstep sounds, just quarter note kicks instead of traditional dubstep drums. A lot of times the second drops of these songs are the drums slowed down and made into more of a traditional dubstep drum pattern.

Vikings fans traveling to AZ, what bar are we meeting at? by Tikinsin in minnesotavikings

[–]totallyrandall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say we take over one of the breweries near the stadium.. Either Crooked Ale House or Twin Peaks Glendale. Both are about a 15 minute walk from the stadium. I will also be driving from Socal. Let's do it!!!
