    Pay Tax yearly on I-bond Interest

    I use the Treasury Direct calculator even though I have only electronic bonds. I have to break my $10K bonds into two $5K bonds. I can verify that it works correctly because it agrees with my TD account for the current value.

    How to add the generator power input to the switch

    After Superstorm Sandy in 2012, I had an electrician install a new service permitting manual switching between the main breaker and a generator input. He also installed a Reliance THP108 which serves as an alarm triggered when the power comes back on.

    What is PenFed's problem

    I have two Visa cards with Penfed. The Platinum Cash Rewards Visa still pays 5% on gas at the pump but all other rewards have been eliminated; use another card if you have to pay inside or you'll get NOTHING. Also, at some point, I had to add a $500 direct deposit to keep this card. My other...

    Stimulus direct deposit, checks and EIP cards.

    Mine is showing as pending, labelled "IRS TREAS 310 - TAX REF", and is consistent with my 2019 AGI, which was fortunately somewhat less than my 2018 AGI.

    Depositing checks online WITHOUT phone apps

    One thing I like about Alliant Credit Union is that they do not require a special endorsement like "for deposit only" or "mobile deposit". If this were required, I'd consider endorsing a COPY of the back of the check, so that the real check would be "clean" in case I had to deposit it somewhere...

    Depositing checks online WITHOUT phone apps

    Alliant credit union https://www.alliantcreditunion.org accepts online deposits from scanned checked images, which I have made from a flatbed scanner. It has been simplified and improved over the years, but I have fewer checks to deposit in recent years. I've had only one or two a year in...

    File Amended 1040? What would you do?

    Last year, I underreported my interest income from Ally Bank by $16 on my Federal return; I found the error when doing the state return later. I had problems with Turbotax importing interest from multiple Ally CDs. I don't use Turbotax for the state. I decided not to amend my return, figuring...

    Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)

    I kept my TSP when I retired at the end of 2011 and decided to start monthly payments in 2014. I realized that I'd made a mistake, but due to the limited choices allowed my only option was to roll the whole thing into an IRA, which I did within days. For both actions, I did have to get the...

    I'm done with Quicken! - What else?

    I use Quicken 2000, but I make all entries manually, not downloading from the Internet. For one thing, this serves as a check. I do have a significant task to update investment accounts monthly, as I update their values manually.

    Tolls East coast- what do we need

    This is what the New York Service center says about using your own EZPass on a rental car: Should I add my rental car information to my E-ZPass account? Do not add rental car information to your E-ZPass account. However, you can use your E-ZPass Tag in any vehicle of the same class. Please...

    Any Quicken 2013 users?

    I also use Quicken 2000, basically tracking everything. I don't want downloads because I want to reconcile bank records with my own. The only problem I have with Windows 7 is that the screen is blank until I hover over the accounts on the right and select one.
