| 2013/9/2-11/7 [Reference/Tax] UID:54736 Activity:nil | 9/2 I'm young, and stupid. Does the IRS want reporting on 401K, IRA,
Roth 401k/IRA? I am decades from retiring, and no plan to withdraw
anything. But, I just realized that I haven't reported any of my
retirement plans to IRS for several years, now wondering if I'm
in big shit...

| 2007/4/19-21 [Reference/Tax] UID:46372 Activity:nil | 4/19 W-4 withholding question. For those who are married with combined
salaries of 2 x $100K, about how many allowances do you put on your
W-4? It seems like the computation method on the back of the form
omits the deduction of state taxes, and I end up putting down 0
allowances and withhold an extra $9K. Let's say there is no mortgage
interest deduction or significant investment income. Thanks.

| 2006/5/4-7 [Reference/Tax] UID:42927 Activity:nil | 5/4 Can the money spent on taking community college or UC extension
courses be deducted from my taxable income if they weren't part
of any degree program?
\_ No. I was in this same situation (taking some language
classes in the morning before work just for the sake of
learning) and I remember TurboTax saying it was only

| 2006/1/25-26 [Reference/Tax] UID:41513 Activity:nil | 1/24 I am single not married no itemized deduction. My income is
about 90K and I pay about 30.0% tax (both federal and state).
Does that sound about right?

their retirement and I am going to help them to pay for part of
the down payment (over $10,000). What is the best way to gift
the money to them?
\_ You can buy an apartment with only $10K down? What planet,
I mean, what country is it?

| 2005/5/20-23 [Reference/Tax] UID:37778 Activity:nil | 5/20 These obscure and complicated US tax laws are really annoying.
I just discovered that this 5-bagger stock (crxl: $3.67-$19) I bought
is classified as PFIC (passive foreign investment company). I would
presume the law is made for foreign mutual funds but unfortunately,
it also hits foreign biotech companies with lots of raised cash, but
little earnings. So now instead of a capital gains rate, I have to

machine?
\_ I have it, althought I havn't tried it on another machine, I don't
see anything that will prevent you from doing it...
\_ Last year there was some protection scheme that prevented one
from doing it.

Federal's free this year, but it'd be a shame to have to pay full
price for State.
\_ Promotion code? I had to pay to download. Then I submit a
rebate form to cover the price. Did that last year too, probably
the year before that too. Used to be it came as an .exe that

UC Berkeley? If so, I am curious how you are interpreting the info on
your 1099-T. TurboTax is useless here. -- ulysses
