List of caveats I can think of: * Covers regular federal income tax only. Does not cover any of the taxes on Schedule 2, nor any state/local taxes. * Assumes both individuals take the federal standard deduction as Single (not Head of H

Using the example from the top-level comment, you would install an IME, switch to hiragana mode, start typing "kouen" and convert to kanji when you see the right suggestion. It might sound complicated at first, but you can do it p

There are a few caveats with the medical expense deduction. * It's only a deduction for income tax. FSAs let you save on FICA as well. * It's an itemized deduction. You only benefit after your total itemized deductions exceed the

What I'm trying to say is that a story with more details is more interesting to me than a story with fewer ones. They spent multiple paragraphs complaining about Slack, and gave Mattermost a brief mention in a single sentence. I'd

I really wish this post had more details. How was the price computed? If Slack charging per user, how did this organization have so many users? Why is their new provider more favorable in pricing? If Slack was previously offering a nonprofi

I think one aspect that is understated: "No Tax on Tips" is only a deduction for the purposes of federal income tax. W-2 workers still owe FICA and other payroll taxes on such income, and similarly self-employed workers would stil

Yes, and to add, it would count anyone who had any wages in that quarter, not necessarily those who are still employed. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f941.pdf

I agree, that part seems like a weak argument. Perhaps a more apt comparison is that China-based Luckin Coffee has far more locations in the country compared to Starbucks. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/

Your EAD allows you to work at any job. You're in a much better place compared to anyone who needs sponsorship. There's no particular difference between a person having G-4 status and any other person in nonimmigrant status when i

No, I think you have it mixed up. It's quite clear that the authority came from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which was was well known to have passed without a single Republican vote. It's also quite clear that in the context

I'd expect 5G home internet to be cheaper than satellite, though probably still more expensive than an ultra-low-cost cellular plan.

It's about 13% annualized right now. You need to add up both the failure to pay penalty at 0.5% per month and the interest at 7% per year. With good credit, you can likely get a cheaper loan.

Any EB1 petition you submit is going to be adjudicated separately from your EB2. If you want your case assessed, you should probably hire a lawyer to discuss the specifics of your case. You get to use your earlier priority date for any late

I perused the Bing rewards site [1]. It seems that you need 1,000 Bing searches to get a $5 Microsoft or Xbox gift card (3rd party gift cards seem more expensive). There are also daily caps on rewards from Bing searches. [1] https:/&#

I wouldn't frame the tax parts like that. Just by having a green card, you are generally subject to the same worldwide taxation as US citizens, with only subtle differences. Perhaps a bigger difference is that it's somewhat easier

The hardship waiver is likely going to be specific to the facts of your situation, so you may benefit from hiring your own immigration lawyer. If your waiver is denied, there's of course the alternative of your spouse going back to her
