    Marriage Tax Penalty on Social Security wish I knew earlier

    I think that is how it is handled. I found out the article I posted is misleading, as they (IRS)have a clause that closes that loophole by making you pay 85% of ALL you SS if you file married separately.The article did not address that. Wish I could edit my post, but that button has gone away.

    Marriage Tax Penalty on Social Security wish I knew earlier

    I can find no way to edit or delete my post. The article I linked is misleading, because if you file married filing separate ALL your Social Security (85%)is added to your taxable income,and you are not able to use the calculator in the worksheet.

    Marriage Tax Penalty on Social Security wish I knew earlier

    EDIT: After I posted this and doing more research, I see the IRS has effectively closed this possible loophole by requiring anyone filing married separately to report as taxable 85% of all SS income. Slams the door shut. I am leaving my original post so anyone seeing it and revisiting can see...

    Ibond 1099 question

    I have I-Bonds i bought in 2001 and did not pay taxes each year. About 6 or 7 years ago, I realized how big a hit I would get at 30 years when you have to pay tax on all interest, no matter what. So one year would move my tax rate way high. So I reported all interest to date on my tax return 1...

    Update on Cord Cutting (Cable TV) - 2021 version

    Try NewsOn and VUit apps to see which of your local stations has their news on it. I get mine over the air but sometimes use it for other areas or repeats. Its Free. Roku and the others have it I think.

    Best CD, MM Rates & Bank Special Deals Thread 2022 - Please post updates here

    With all the trouble I and other had back in 2016 opening an IRA and funding it to get the 3% 7 yr CD, I decided I would never give them more business. When my CD matures in 2023, I am taking my money elsewhere and closing my account.

    Amazon Visa card 10% off on gas until 12/31

    You can check your online account after the purchase has posted, and it will show what bonus you get. Most of my other credit cards, you have to wait until the end of the promotion period, but on this Amazon Chase Visa, it shows and is paid each month.

    Amazon Visa card 10% off on gas until 12/31

    I signed up for this offer when it first came out. I do think Chase offers are targeted, so not everyone gets the same offers. I also have a Chase Marriott rewards card, and it had an offer for 10 points per dollar on gas instead of the regular 2 points. Somewhat same offer.

    You could close it now, put it in Ally savings at 2.1%, and pull the trigger whenever the rate gets high enough for you.

    Any reason you are not in an online savings account, paying maybe 2% or a little more now? Not much, but better than nothing.

    Update on Cord Cutting (Cable TV) - 2021 version

    I had it a few years ago.I used a Roku for it. It goes up after a year, and the local cost channels goes way up. If you want a box and DVR, it was like 10 for a box and something like 15 for DVR. I have settled on over the air antenna(and a Tablo DVR) and a Sling subscription for $35 month. I...

    Best CD, MM Rates & Bank Special Deals Thread 2022 - Please post updates here

    The card I had was 5 cents on gas 3 cents on groceries and 1 cent on all other. They changed it over to points, if I recall right, no option. They offered a 5 cent for gas only card, but I did not want one with a good reward on only one thing, and I don't think they currently offer that card...

    Best CD, MM Rates & Bank Special Deals Thread 2022 - Please post updates here

    When I had that card, several years ago, they changed to points that were not worth 1 cent per point. It turned the 5 points into maybe 4.1 cents. Same with 3 points on grocery store. That went down to like 2.4 cents per point. I had used that card for years, but moved to other cards after that...
