make sure to follow all install rules I looked into this some years back to replace a gas tank hot water system for a 3 bedroom home. I much liked the idea of freeing up space in the garage as my cars are big and space is tight. what I found is that to install a unit big enough for a 3...

cable upgradedat time of install I had XFinity install ethernet in my 1994 house last year. They would not use the 1994 cabling but said it had to be replaced, especially the wall connector.

central AC was 20+ years old. After considering options I left it in place but added a mini-split to the 3 upstairs rooms in parallel. I have been very happy. Most of the time I just run the mini-split in 1 or 2 rooms, but if needed I can still turn on the old central unit. electric...

shut off water when going away while these detectors have some benefit, I always shut off the water at the main if going away for more than 1 night. I know far too many people who have had disasters due to water leaks while they were away. I have a rental, and wrote as a lease condition...

An update a year later. I went back and filed an amended 2014 tax return. It showed an inappropriate 401K contribution. This was carried forward to 2015, and then the funds counted as my regular IRA contribution for 2015. I incurred significant costs - mostly CPA fees, but also IRS...

Thanks for the replies about 1099-R code E Hello Thank you to all who posted replies! They were very useful! I have put my 2015 filing on hold and filed for an extension. I think the advice that this issue likely impacts my 2015 filing is probably accurate. I now agree that this is...

Hello Does anyone have any experience with the 1099-R box-7 code "E" which means the plan is correcting a previous error? In 2014 I contributed to a 401K at a former employer. I then moved the funds to a rollover IRA and then to a Roth IRA. I received a 1099-R from the well-known and...
