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...
\_ The account custodian (bank/brokerage/mutual fund) reports it to

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.

2006/1/25-26 [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?
\_ Buy a house, stupid.
\_ I think at 90k, you should be itemizing.
\_ ~ 30% is what I pay, and I made $90K and am single.

2005/10/10 [Reference/Tax] UID:40038 Activity:high | 10/10 My parents are buying an apartment outside of the US for
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

2005/4/4-5 [Reference/Tax] UID:37059 Activity:nil | 4/4 Is there a Home & Business version of TurboTax this year? There was
one last year but I don't see one this year.

2005/3/21-22 [Reference/Tax] UID:36790 Activity:moderate | 3/21 Does the TurboTax CD this year let you pirate it onto more than one
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.

2005/3/9-10 [Reference/Tax] UID:36591 Activity:nil | 3/9 Anyone have a promotion code for a Turbotax State discount?
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

2005/2/2-3 [Reference/Tax] UID:36038 Activity:low | 2/2 (Re-post) Are any of you full-time grad students on fellowship at
UC Berkeley? If so, I am curious how you are interpreting the info on
your 1099-T. TurboTax is useless here. -- ulysses
\_ I'm in grad school and got a 1098-T. I wonder what the difference
is.
\_ Give your copy to me if its useless to you. :)

2005/2/1 [Reference/Tax] UID:36010 Activity:nil | 2/1 Do any of the full time grad students here have a good way to work
through taxes? My wife (a full time PhD candidate) just received her
1099-T and we are both at a loss as to how to determine what is
taxable and what isn't. TurboTax assumes one already knows this.
