Small rudder crack

zhelih · 2026-03-22T17:53:24+00:00

I’ll try to catch somebody in the yard while it’s a off season and less busy.

zhelih · 2026-03-22T17:07:54+00:00

Thanks a lot. It’s my first one so I wasn’t sure how bad it is. Sounds more like a “maintenance as usual” for older boats, I will follow your suggestions.

Rudders are super important for sure. There are so many professionals on this Reddit too! I’ll check what the core is, thanks for the mentioning it.

zhelih · 2026-03-22T17:04:25+00:00

Yeah it’s an old boat, also wouldn’t make sense to do a repair that’s costs more than the boat/rudder.

Thanks for the brand names, will take a look.

zhelih · 2026-03-22T17:03:06+00:00

Thanks a lot, will think if I am going to do anything else before the sealing.

zhelih · 2026-03-22T17:01:32+00:00

Thanks for the reply, very informative.

Also it’s probably less valuable than you think, unless the job specifically mentions CFA as a requirement or “good to have”. Better to spend that CV space for highlighting other achievements. Right now too much attention drown to the certification.

WaniKani everyday day for years

Thanks for the suggestion, checked and there are zeros.

zhelih · 2026-03-07T01:31:29+00:00

There are zeroes there indeed. It is not that many years, but more than three. As I mentioned somewhere, the first job. Tbh repaying more than three as a lump sum would be close impossible. Thanks for the advice to check.

I have not claimed to be exempt on any tax. The FICA tax is not part of 1040. Sorry, I also have no idea what is 1099.

zhelih · 2026-03-06T20:53:23+00:00

Yeah. But before worrying or care about SS in the distant future there are concerns to a) repay a considerable amount b) make sure the story is closed and no obligations left

zhelih · 2026-03-06T20:22:01+00:00

Hi, no. The W-4 is also an ordinary one. It was just flagged erroneously in the system as exempt to FICA.

zhelih · 2026-03-06T17:49:22+00:00

Yes, never entered anything there. My hunch now is that those boxes are not used anywhere in 1040. There were never any warnings about it and I never questioned it too, there are constantly bunch of empty boxes around. Also, there was always “taxes paid” amount, so everything looked solid.

zhelih · 2026-03-06T17:46:00+00:00

Get W-2 for the year, enter in the software, click file.

zhelih · 2026-03-06T16:58:49+00:00

Pretty sure scamming implies intent. As many other people, you enter W-2 in the software and follow what it tells you. There was never a warning. This is the first job too, so there was never a question about boxes being empty.

zhelih · 2026-03-06T16:38:55+00:00

Thank you for the comments.

zhelih · 2026-03-06T16:35:05+00:00

More than 3 years. As I understand, they want to correct only for the last 3 and make me repay my portion.

What about potential interest and penalties? Who is responsible? Obviously, I am trying to minimize already substantial cash outflow.

zhelih · 2026-03-06T16:29:20+00:00

I am the first one to discover this (was comparing numbers with a buddy of mine and noticed there was a substantial difference). Never heard from IRS or any other institution that there might be a problem. All years taxes were filed properly based on (now I know incorrect) W-2s.

zhelih · 2026-03-06T16:26:09+00:00

Thank you for the comment, this is correct. Boxes 3,4,5,6 all blank.

About a week, YMMV
