As a tax professional here's my opinion... If you are comfortable with your current provider, stick with him/her. This person is familiar with your tax history and how your change in income will effect your tax liability. Knowing this, you can properly plan a payment schedule (either through withholding or estimated payments). I recommend setting up a meeting with your provider to discuss your situation and do some tax planning.
 
Topics I might suggest... The effect receiving the IRA income will have on the taxability of Social Security (if you are receiving it) and the overall impact it will have on your general income. Will it push long term cap gains into a higher rate? How will the IRA be taxed in your state?
 
If you are the beneficiary of an estate or trust, speak to the trustee/representative of the estate/trust to find out if you will be receiving a form K-1. This is, basically, the income reporting form from the distribution of the assets of the estate/trust and is reported on the recipients 1040. (Think of it as an estate/trusts W-2.) K-1s are often the last tax form a taxpayer receives. To spare yourself the annoyance and expense of amending your return find out if one will be issued before you file.

I've been to Hell, MI. My advice? If you're going to visit, don't blink. ?

Thanks so much for all of you. Met up with him today. All your positive comments were dead on. Can't wait for a repeat.

The abusive use of the support animal label is out of control. I've dealt with it too many times to count. When I ask the legally allowed follow up questions of the owners I generally get 2 responses:
A meaningful answer (generally from legit service animal owners).
 
A declaration that I'm not allowed to ask (generally from fakers).
 
Legit owners are pretty aware of the laws and statutes and simply comply. Fakers make a production of the interaction, possibly to get the additional attention they seem to crave.
 
Just my experience.

I'm a proud and responsible dog (2 of them) owner and I've flown with both. They are small and fit under the seat in a pet carrier. It's costly to fly nowadays with pets. I remember when it was $25 per one-way and now $100 and more depending on the airline. Pet owners taking advantage and abusing laws angers me to no end. Events like this will begin to ruin the TRUE/LEGITIMATE medical need some people have for their companions. I'm not one of them and would never take advantage of the "loopholes" many pet owners abuse in the laws. That being said, maybe it's time for changes and maybe pets like this will need to be required to wear muzzles in order to accompany their owners if not in a carrier and under the seat.

Thank you both so much for the information. He sounds great. I've reached out to him. Fingers crossed. ☺

In college had a purple Pacer. Loved that car.

Photos have been updated and none of them look familiar now.

Adult content businesses have historically been ahead of the curve I embracing technology.

Ok time. Wouldn't repeat.

My godson, who is coming for Thanksgiving after a 2 year absence, requested my twice baked sweet potatoes and ginger carrots. He said he just can't make them like I do. Haha
 
What do you make that makes your meal special?

Can we go back to the tradition of Victorian hair jewelry instead?

I agree. But I think that it invites a battle with her if you even have the TV on, or even available.
 
I'd say, if you have to have her back in your house, put the TV away. And anticipate:
 
"Where's the TV? I want to watch something."
 
"Sorry, Mom. I've put the TV away. We won't be using it this week [or however long she is visiting]."
 
"But I want to watch something!"
 
"Sorry, Mom. I've put the TV away. We won't be using it this week."
 
"You're being rude. I'm a guest in your house and you need to get the TV out for me."
 
"Sorry, Mom. We won't be using it this week."
 
"You're doing this because of me, aren't you?"
 
"I'd just prefer not to use it this week."
 
"But why did you put it away?"
 
"I'd just prefer not to use it this week."
 
"That's no reason. Why are you doing this?"
 
"I'd just prefer not to use it this week."
 
I think you understand the tactic here....

Happy Birthday to my dream husband.

Happy Birthday to my dream husband.

Walked into an audition and saw him warming up. Imagine the statue of David come to life. Chocolate brown eyes, shining curls of thick brown hair, lithe muscled and 6' tall. I was knocked out. The only difference is that, unlike the statue, he was very well hung.
