    What is the best way to pay estimated Federal Taxes in Retirement?

    It is difficult to get money back from the IRS on any amendment you might make to the original Tax Return. I usually do an estimate on our Taxes on the Turbo Tax with the income we have and send quarterly the estimates.

    Is anyone had experienced the IRS servise like me?

    If we are going to look at our budget deficit ($1.8 trillion) than surely $1billion is nothing. A question is: How soon it might be until they will destroy the US$ by issuing freshly printed money, without economy adding adequate goods and services to cover the freshly printed $$$.

    Is anyone had experienced the IRS servise like me?

    The TurboTax Premier, I use for Taxes, allows only one Filing over electronic transfer and I am sure it is not delayed so long because of mail. In 1993 I was looking for a better pay as HVAC Tech and got 2 offers. One is local county job for the office of education, the other for manufacturing...

    When do you die?

    When people make plans, G.d may laugh at it, an old well known proverb. DW and I have A Trust and it goes to our only son, who is going to decide on our 3 grand kids: who deserve what. Our son manage 58 techs and 6 supervisors at his job. We hope he will manage properly our inheritance.

About 3 years back, I invested in one of the well to do, large oil company Lukoil, no warning of de listing from E-Trade, it was de-listed and the investment was frozen after Russia attacked...

    Estate Planning cost and landmines?

    Original estate planning was done in 2001 for $1,700. In 2022 we decided to update it as our only son was married and with grand kids. To update the estate we were quoted from $3,000 to $5,000. We got a $3,500 charge, because the lowest price comes with poor reviews and wise versa.

    BRIC

    Agree, that the Gold does not go up. We do have Gold Funds what supposedly should cover an investment by Gold, when requested and in reality they return an investment in Gold only on investment amount of over $1mil., the rest of investors (majority) will get only paper Gold - shares or US$ if...

    BRIC

    It is dangerous to invest in some foreign countries stocks and funds, at least I had a very bad experience. One on China telecom: I was informed only about one week of stopping of trade on US stock exchange and sold with a big loss. The other investment was with Russian Lukoil. No any warning...

    Most Credit Cards Administrations have auto confirmation request on anything with large amounts so is the Wells Fargo. This is specifically done to avoid payment on a fraudulent charge.
