    Death and... Taxes.

    You probably cost yourself some money since the childcare credit is nonrefundable, but could have pushed your child tax credit into the the additional child tax credit, which can be refundable.

    Death and... Taxes.

    The whole need for the postcard was just political nonsense. The old forms made more sense since everything flowed to page 1 and 2. Just about nobody has 5.5" x 8.5" paper sitting around to actually print it on the new size anyway.

    Terry McLaurin will probably be a late midrounder that you guys can snag on the cheap. He probably checks all of the boxes that you're looking for.

    Death and... Taxes.

    The withholding table changes are most likely what got you. I think you'll hear this same sort of story from a lot of people this year. I work in public accounting so I advised many of my clients to go ahead and adjust theirs early to avoid this. You also most likely paid less taxes relative...

    Safeco is pretty good if you can get it there. I have auto, home, and umbrella through them. I had Allstate shoot me a quote just this week and they came in $800 per year higher for nearly the same coverages and deductibles.

    He already said he's staying at Cincinnati. It's a better situation than going to WVU anyway. He can put together high win seasons easier at UC since it's a weaker conference than the Big 12. It'll give him a better shot at a top tier coaching job rather than floundering at WVU as well.

    There are prior games where he didn't defend the copyright, so that could work against him in his case against Epic. He's probably just fishing for a settlement.

    Ohio State's new coach may be paying off already. Supposedly 5-star Zach Harrison is going to commit tomorrow. Also, sources are saying that Ohio State is the front runner for Justin Fields if he does end up transferring.

    Car ?'s

    Most fuel pumps are cooled by the gasoline in the tank. So if the fuel is constantly low it could shorten the life of the pump.

    Are you just putting them out on the street for leaf collection? If so, just blow them into a pile, rake them onto a tarp and then drag it to the street. Or just blow them all to the street depending on your yard setup. Mulching seems like a wasted step in that scenario.

    That's just the value that they assess the property tax on. It usually isn't the same price, unless Texas does it differently. Even using map search in Tarrant county won't bring up the sale prices.

    Which .Gov entity to possibly take employer pay/benefit fraud to?

    So you're saying the full H&W should be going to the 401(k)? Are you sure they didn't put you back on the health plan by accident once you were rehired? Health insurance costs went up a lot so that could be what is is causing the decrease to your 401(k) contributions since you were rehired.

    A lot of counties also have a real estate tax website where you can pull up a map. Then you just click on each home around the one you're looking at and check the past sales. Zillow above works as well, but sometimes it'll miss sales.

    As of now Monterrey's state has a level 3 travel advisory. The city itself isn't that far from a state with a level 4 advisory. I doubt it would get better by next year. Monterrey is probably safe if you don't go out at night though.

    It looks like Palatka is fairly close to St. Augustine. I'd just live there as I'm sure it's a much nicer city than Orlando or Jacksonville. Any of the beaches close to St. Augustine look to be 40 minutes away from Palatka, so I'd imagine there are subdivisions within your 30 minute requirement.

    The Best Year for Movies from 1970-1999?

    I was born in 86 but I remember all of the movies from 87 very well after looking at a list. I think I've watched the majority just because they'd be on TV about the age where I actually began to remember stuff. This year has to be tough to beat. The Running Man is my favorite easily.
