| Forceful_Dragon 03/07/21 12:37:28 AM #466 | The irs shouldn't have to change much except what is considered an acceptable adjustment/reduction to taxable income in cases where unemployment is being reported. But all the major software people will need to adjust their software so the returns they are submitting are taking advantage of the change. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 03/06/21 11:27:22 AM #393 | LordoftheMorons posted... Hey FD, I have a tax question red13n posted... use the link from the IRS website. This will bypass that. At least it does for turbotax. Basically this. I'll elaborate: This is the IMPORTANT INFORMATION that EVERYONE should know. 1) Go to www.irs.gov 2) Click "File your taxes for free" 3) If your income is below 72,000 there will be an option to file your taxes for free. And that's regardless of how complicated they are. The important distinction is that you use the link from this irs.gov page to reach the filing website. ~~ For example, I use TaxAct to file my taxes. If I went to the TaxAct website directly and set up an account I would definitely be charged to file my taxes. But instead I click the link on the irs.gov page and so I set up a Free version TaxAct account and they cannot possibly charge me. Those sites are all required to have a free filing option if you meet certain income requirements (which vary from site to site). But they are not required to make it apparent when you just go directly to their site. So millions of people every year end up paying their software when a couple of extra clicks would have them filing for free. red sox 777 posted... No. That would be illegal. But you don't need to buy the software - you can fill out the forms yourself. I mean, this is true, but NOBODY should be filing taxes by mail this year. We are SOOOO backed up that you are adding months of potential delay by filing by mail currently. But if you do want to file by mail and you have enough of an understanding to fill out the forms yourself (which is honestly not that hard if you go line by line and refer to the 1040 instructions if you get confused) then you can use the "Free File Fillable Forms" page on irs.gov to populate the forms and then print them out. CaptainOfCrush posted... The people who will need to amend their already filed tax returns to get a bigger refund will also need to pay their tax preparers again in order to amend them. Which is why (almost) nobody should be paying to have their taxes filed in this day and age. --- |

| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 367: Cuomophobic |
| Forceful_Dragon 03/05/21 11:29:34 PM #372 | red13n posted... I am owed a pretty significant refund if this is indeed the case. Good news! As of last year you are able to file 1040-X amended returns electronically now. If your taxes have finished being processed you can get that started. It will probably still take a few months to process but paper 1040-X returns are so badly backed up that doing it electronically will be much faster. But you'll need to wait for the original return to finish processing first. Hopefully it already has, but many people made errors when filling and are currently experiencing delays. (Most of the ones I've reviewed have involved people who received their stimulus and then claimed the recovery rebate credit on their taxes because they didn't understand the questions about it which hopefully you did not do) --- |

| Topic | Are you ok with the proposed 80k yearly income limit for the 1,400 stimulus |
| Forceful_Dragon 03/04/21 4:33:40 PM #52 | The changes to eligibility are dumb, but it's hard to say "wow dems so awful" when republicans by and large will be VOTING NO to there being additional stimulus. Also Stim #1 and Stim#2 were issued based upon 2019 income information (or in the case of Stim#1 the 2018 information was looked at if 2019 hadn't been filed yet), but the bottom-line determination of eligibility for both of those payments is your income from 2020. So if you had pandemic related loss of income in 2020 then you had/have the option to claim Stim#1 and Stim#2 on the 2020 tax return because both of those payments are coming from the 2020 portion of your account with the IRS. Will Stim#3 work the same way? Impossible to say until something is actually passed and being implemented. The fact that 2020 returns are already being processed makes me think it would be difficult to retroactively make it a part of the 2020 tax module. Would everyone who already filed get the $1400 issued retroactively based upon their 2020 information? Would the system still look at 2019 in instances where 2020 has not yet been filed? In the case of the latter would the $1400 then also be claimable on 2020 or will it be designated as part of the 2021 tax module instead? If that's the case then someone who (A) does not qualify based upon 2019 and (B) does qualify based upon 2020 but (C) has not filed 2020 yet so 2019 is the most recent information on file would probably slip through the cracks until they could eventually claim the $1400 as part of their 2021 taxes. But that's just one possible implementation and until it is passed and in progress we wont know exactly how it's being issued.

Disclaimer: This is not tax advice nor should it be misconstrued as such. Please consult a tax professional and do your own due diligence when filing. Do not interpret this as an official statement from the IRS as actions you should take nor as an explanation or how a potential Stim#3 will definitely be implemented. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 03/01/21 10:53:23 PM #424 | FFDragon posted... Some of us live in our cars during winter in a pandemic because society is on the brink of collapse. But why is it that republicans get to hold 'doing good things' hostage? Dems: We want to do Good Thing A and Good Thing B Reps: We don't want to do EITHER of those things, and we sure as hell aren't going to let you do BOTH. Dems: Well here is our proposal to do both. Reps: We aren't passing that unless you take off Good Thing B. And if you make any attempt to do both we will be loud about how you are just "playing politics" and how it's YOUR fault that Good Thing A is not happening because you are unreasonably trying to do TWO good things at one time. How dare you try to fulfill campaign promises. We conveniently forgot that Trump held the entire government budget hostage for a wall and our best defense was "well people voting for him knowing he would do this so clearly this is what voters want him to do. he has the mandate of the people". But clearly that logic doesn't apply to you when you win elections. . Like everyone wants Dems to play hardball to effect ACTUAL change.... until Dems actually try to stick to something and then public opinion flips? It's bananas. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 03/01/21 10:06:13 AM #47 | NeatoAnAccount posted... You can't, really. We still don't know with 100% certainty that Dream cheated. Yes, we do. There is no room for a reasonable person to view the evidence and have doubt. . Team Rocket Elite posted... How exactly does the Minecraft speedrun community defend against this? Dream took it too far but someone could be more strategic. I'm not sure that they do anything currently. In theory they could have someone show their minecraft installation folders before and after attempts so you could see any files that aren't supposed to be there? And show themselves launching the exe from that folder? Or they could get one of those Easy Anti-Cheat applications going like what fall guys had to use after cheating was rampant. I'm really not sure. --- |
| Topic | Who the fuck is Dream? |
| Forceful_Dragon 02/28/21 6:21:18 PM #42 | If he wanted to get away with it then he should have put in work doing many hours of legit attempts and then used the modded version of the drop tables for one single attempt and then go back to legit attempts. And then probably maintain a ratio of one cheated attempt for every thirty legit attempts to dilute the observable-ness of the manipulated RNG. Instead he had several full streams of cheated attempts. And so the impossible-ness of his luck was more conclusively proven by the aggregate result of many consecutive cheated attempts. --- |
| Topic | Who the fuck is Dream? |
| Forceful_Dragon 02/28/21 6:16:21 PM #40 | BlackMageJawa posted... I thought the controversy was that he'd done multiple speedruns and got 'impossibly' lucky every time? There's is a difference between being lucky and being so lucky across multiple runs that it's a mathematical fact that cheating occurred. The dude was playing a Modded version of Minecraft to alter the drop rates of items and trying to pass it off as vanilla. --- |
| Topic | Which (if any) MeToo-type reveals have impacted your enjoyment of a work? |
| Forceful_Dragon 02/24/21 12:56:56 PM #46 | JK Rowling does seem not understand the difference between Biological Sex (as defined by having XX or XY Chromosomes) and someone's Gender Identity (as defined by a person's own psychological view of themselves). When that comes up it feels like a very Black Lives Matter vs All Lives Matter sort of thing. "We are saying Black Lives Matter to call attention to the racial inequality that black people experience" "Yeah, but wouldn't you say that ALL lives matter too? ALL includes black people too." "I mean sure, but that isn't the POINT. That isn't the conversation that we're having right now." . "We are discussing gender identities because that is how we personally feel about ourselves and how we identity ourselves as people" "Yeah, but male and female are different things! Chromosomes. Science. Etc." "I mean sure, but that is not relevant to gender identity. Those are different things" Like you might as well respond by saying "Lima is the capital of Peru". It might be a factual statement, but it just doesn't have anything to do with the conversation. --- |
| Topic | Outrage after a TEEN made a GEORGE FLOYD Poster as social media demands ACTION!. |
| Forceful_Dragon 02/24/21 2:43:11 AM #69 | One last thing: it is important to be clear when saying things like racist. It's possible for a joke to be racist without the person making the joke being a racist. To use myself as an example I'm certain when I was a child I used the phrase "gypped" when I felt like I was cheated. I was fully unaware of the phrases origins and that it was a racist slur. To me it was just a word that meant "to be cheated or treated unfairly" the same way "pencil" means "a lead/graphite based wiring utensil". Eventually I learned the phrase's meaning and I removed it from my vocabulary, but the fact remains that I did use a racial slur whether I was aware of it at the time or not. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 02/24/21 2:35:18 AM #61 | The Utility Man posted... Simply that I just don't see this as a racial thing. Because it is a racial thing. SEP is taking it a step further and saying that her intent can be assumed to be negative. And while that is not an unreasonable assumption, it isn't a necessary assumption to make to counter the nonsense your are saying so I'm taking it a step back. The intent of the poster is irrelevant to whether or not it is racially charged. Maybe her intent was negative, maybe not. Doesn't matter. But I need to sleep so I'm done pounding my head against this brick wall. --- |

Get that thought into your skull if nothing else. He'll, maybe she intended it to be a mathematical joke/reference and neither of us "got it". But even in that somehow-this-was-a-math-joke alternate reality it is still a racially insensitive sign to make. --- |
| Topic | Outrage after a TEEN made a GEORGE FLOYD Poster as social media demands ACTION!. |
| Forceful_Dragon 02/24/21 2:14:15 AM #41 | The Utility Man posted... It is however possible for someone to make a breathing joke about George Floyd without it having to do with his race or what came about afterwords. If you believe this then you are not being racially sensitive or aware of the impact of those words and ideas. The joke wasn't about George Floyd's astrological sign. The joke wasn't about a physical feature that George Floyd had that caused him to be picked on in grade school. The "joke" was about his death. You know, that one time where he was murdered by police officers. It was national news and used as an example of racial inequality. Those thoughts and those ideas are so intrinsically linked that you do not get to reference his death in a vacuum. And if you are attempting to reference his death in a vacuum without all the other "baggage" ruining your joke then I'm afraid you are guilty of being racially insensitive. It literally could not be more clear cut. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 02/24/21 1:53:36 AM #28 | TUM when the thing being accused is "not being sensitive to the ramifications of the statement you are making" then you can't say "it comes down to the intent of the message". The fact that the intent was oblivious to the ramifications is proof by itself. That would be like if I got pulled over for driving recklessly and my excuse was "well my intent was to juggle three balls in one hand and solve a rubik's cube with my other hand and i just so happened to be on the highway at the time. How can I be guilty of driving recklessly if I did not intend to do so?" It's completely beyond the pale to suggest you can't do anything wrong unless it is premeditated. --- |

| Forceful_Dragon 02/19/21 12:01:49 PM #48 | ChichiriMuyo posted... As for the Ant Man physics - they weren't consistent with them in the first movie either. At all. Hank Pym carried a 45 ton tank on his keychain I was going to mention this. They couldn't even make it to the end of the movie where they explained things retained their mass. But looking into it a bit it seems in the comics they go back and forth on this issue as well and the closest thing they have to an explanation is that when things shrink or expand there is a transference of mass via the quantum realm so mass can either be stored in or pulled from the quantum realm as the situation requires... Or something :shrug: --- |
