Permanent Fund Dividend – Tax Information

The Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) is a program in the U.S. state of Alaska that distributes a portion of the state's oil revenues to eligible residents. The program was established in 1982 with the intention of sharing the state's wealth derived from its natural resources.

The amount of the Permanent Fund Dividend varies from year to year and is determined by the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC). The APFC manages the Alaska Permanent Fund, which is a fund that invests a portion of the state's oil revenues. The dividend amount is calculated based on the fund's performance, and each eligible resident receives an equal share.

The eligibility requirements to receive the Permanent Fund Dividend typically include being an Alaska resident for a full calendar year and not being absent from the state for more than a specified number of days. Other requirements may also apply. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information about the Permanent Fund Dividend program, including the dividend amount and eligibility requirements, it is recommended to visit the official website of the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend Division or contact them directly.

The fucking reason is the huge amount of money that Intuit and other tax prep companies throw at congresspeople specifically to prevent the streamlining of tax filing for the 95%.

So, yeah, it's not because anyone actually working at the IRS thinks it needs to happen (they have the info on hand already for 90+% of the country) - it's capitalism.

For people with anxiety about filing taxes, here’s what things that happen when you make a mistake on your tax return:

- it gets corrected

- you get a letter in the mail either asking for some additional information or a letter showing the adjustment

- you pay the amount (there’s options for payment plans too!) or get a refund

Things that do not happen

- you’re “in trouble”

- you are charged with fraud

- you go to jail

I know that most people are probably just joking/exaggerating when they say a mistake on their return means they get thrown in jail but when I worked with the public I always would encounter people who believed that would happen and they would be panicking about it. So I like to put this out there every year because if I can even prevent one person from feeling that way, it’s worth it

How to Use Your Last Paystub to File Taxes

Filing taxes can be a daunting task, but understanding how to use your last paystub can simplify the process. Whether you're an employee or a freelancer, your paystub contains crucial information needed to complete your tax return. In this blog, we'll walk you through the steps of using your last paystub to file taxes and highlight some useful tools like a paystub generator, 1099 MISC Form, and more.

Understanding Your Paystub

A paystub provides a detailed breakdown of your earnings and deductions. Key components include:

Gross Earnings: Total income before any deductions.

Net Earnings: Income after deductions.

Federal and State Taxes: Amounts withheld for tax purposes.

Social Security and Medicare: Deductions for social security and Medicare contributions.

Other Deductions: Any other deductions such as health insurance or retirement contributions.

Steps to File Taxes Using Your Last Paystub

1. Gather Your Paystub and Relevant Forms

Before you begin, ensure you have your last paystub of the year. You may also need other documents such as the 1099 MISC Form if you're a freelancer or independent contractor.

2. Review Your Paystub

Check that all information is correct, including your gross and net earnings, tax withholdings, and any other deductions. If you notice any discrepancies, contact your employer or use a paystub generator to create a corrected version.

3. Calculate Your Total Income

Use the gross earnings listed on your last paystub to calculate your total income for the year. If you have multiple jobs, add the gross earnings from all your paystubs.

4. Enter Information into Tax Forms

Transfer the information from your paystub to the appropriate tax forms. For employees, this is usually the W-2 form. Freelancers will use the 1099 MISC Form.

5. Deductions and Credits

Review any deductions or credits you may be eligible for, such as educational credits, retirement contributions, or health savings accounts. Ensure these are accurately reflected in your tax return.

6. File Your Taxes

You can file your taxes online or via mail. If you’re using a tax software, it will guide you through the process, ensuring all information from your paystub is correctly entered.

The Handmaid’s Tale 6x02 - “Exile” (or "Yeah, Yeah, We Knew They'd Be Back")👀

Damned if this show doesn't have a tight stranglehold on my brain, here I still have to file my taxes and a million other things and keep blowing them off to ramble on more about June and Nick and the Gilead gang instead. So sue me, the story is just so much more interesting than 1099's and laundry! Anyway.

Note: for this recap (as with 6x01) I've largely consolidated plotlines by character/location/plot chronology in favor of how scenes are presented chronologically in the episode. Obviously the editing/placement of scenes is an important part of the experience of watching the show but this just helps me keep my thoughts better organized and hopefully be a little (maybe tiny bit) more concise lol. Not sure this will stay consistent, may depend on the episode. As always, screencap & captions are my own.

The opening of the episode "Exile" presents like the prologue of a gorgeously dark fairytale in the the nighttime woods, with floating leaves that almost looks like tiny glowing orbs of light. I'm just waiting for an ethereal voice to start narrating "Once upon a time", but the only thing we hear aside from the fairytale prologue score is the creature sounds of the forest, the rustling of the wind and the increasingly distant train engine as it travels far into the west, leaving us behind. Then, a baby cries. A woman breathes in pain. The exiled queen and her little prince Serena and Noah have, perhaps  miraculously, survived the jump/fall (helpful push, no?) from the train intact and uninjured (although Serena does seem to be limping a tad?) and of COURSE the first building they come upon in this wilderness is a freaking church, just so Serena gets to continue feeling justified in her faith that she is God's very favorite special child. Unfortunately, though, the church seems to be locked up tight so there go Serena Joy's romantic fantasies of dramatically throwing the doors open, yelling “SANCTUARY!” (just me?). Fortunately, they are come upon by a woman just heading out, who hears them and asks if help is needed. Serena awakes in the car to daylight, having arrived at her sanctuary in the form of a religious faith-based farm cult community they call Canaan, "still in Canada", we are reassured. Honestly it's really a bit hard to tell at first if they are Gilead-religious or just “regular” religious (props to Gilead I guess for by comparison making even some of the more wacky extremist religious groups irl look, idk, pretty chill actually?) The leader, Abigail, seems to know there's something more to "Rachael's" story (really Serena? Subtle as ever), but still she warmly welcomes the newcomers into their women-and-children only community. I mean Serena does infer she’s not a “regular refugee” (I’m a cool refugee) so I guess there's that.

In Alaska, we are treated to another super sweet “let me be your mirror" parallel/callback, this time with granny Holly singing to baby Holly, as June slowly rouses (ostensibly the morning after arriving). Holly immediately clocks that her granddaughter is SO smart (a little genius!), bittersweetly calling to mind Nick's words way back in season 2 (nah, she's too smart, like her mom). June doesn't want her handmaid ear tag out (not until all the handmaids are free) but she will take some pancakes (another Osborne tradition/callback). June and her mom catch up about what has happened: where they've been and how they survived. It would seem like Holly WAS the "doctor who gave a shit" at the liberated agricultural colony the refugee on the train was talking about... except that the timeline seems off: Holly says her colony was freed 6 months ago and I swore the woman on the train said for her it was just one month, so perhaps it's just a coincidence. Regardless, it is good to know the army may be fairly prolific in liberating multiple colonies (although this also does seem to call into question somewhat Mark's statement that their military is essentially fully depleted?). Anyway. June recounts her and Hannah's harrowing capture and her current state "She's healthy and so, so beautiful. And I've really tried to save her, I really tried to get her out." And then, heartbreakingly, "But the last time I saw her... she didn't remember me..." Holly is oh so gentle and empathetic in this scene, and June gets some long-awaited comfort and validation (that she never thought she'd be able to get) from her mother, who tells her "oh you are tough" and that she knew June would survive (it was what kept her going) *sob*.

(Holly squared💕)

Luke is being freed from jail and god does this show love a cool shot of puzzle-like stairs or what?--as he descends (interestingly) his way to freedom (for now at least). Mark has gotten him out on bail but it seems he's still some long months away from a trial. At least he finds out that the train with June and Nichole made it safely to Alaska, but he's still on the very verge of LOSING it given everything going on--namely his arrest from defending June from the murder attempt, and importantly, Hannah still being trapped in Gilead and inching ever  closer to "marriageability" age. Now there are some that may say to Luke's raging "she's getting older EVERY DAY" that, well Luke, she hasn't been frozen in time before, she's has actually been getting older every day for the last 7 years now and it hasn't seemed that urgent to you til now,  but to that I would say... actually nothing, because that would be accurate. Still I suppose that maybe somehow the urgency didn't hit him as hard until he saw her in purple and June freak out about the purple, or that until June came home wanting to fight and make Gilead pay he didn't realize there was any other way of fighting back besides going to the overworked overwhelmed embassy saying "a little help please?" But now that I'm reading this back it doesn't sound like a great excuse either. Listen, IDK what does on in the man's head but he is clearly just a ball of rage and nerves right now so when Moira lets it slip that "Mayday is doing something" he spits out "I'm in" with nary a question asked (really, I think there should have been at least one or two questions, Luke). As Moira says "you don't even know what that means" which again he blows off but we shall see there may be consequences later.

Back in good old Gilead, Commander Lawrence has maintained his same signature snarky brand of humor since we last saw him but also, my goodness, is he also not downright jolly(?) this season? (and praise be, the fun neck cravats are back!) At first blush one might say it must be the influence of his new bride and the honeymoon period but no, it seems the imminent success of launching his pet project NB to the world is what has him in such high spirits, even in spite of having to endure Naomi's expedited and determined efforts to fully redecorate his haunted gothic mansion. (I have a confession:  I realized I am actually both these toxic people in the relationship, 1. "but it's ugly and it's ruining the room! AND variably also 2. I have this room to keep my things in! All the things! None of my things are ugly though of course!). This odd couple dynamic is great fun to watch and as finally an official series regular this season, Ever Carradine's fantastic comedic leaning into Naomi's newly wedded "bliss" (and later her on-and-off rivalry with Serena) was a real bright spot of levity for me here.

As Nick retraces the steps of his epic wedding reception punch and to his great amusement comes upon the happy honeymooners' little lovers' spat, Lawrence greets him with a … "hey Champ" (lol) and takes the excuse to withdraw to the study for a boys chat (but not before reminding his bride "don't touch these, please!.... “I’m a… commander”. But Lawrence hasn't safely escaped the disrespect yet because as he implores the younger commander "I didn't have anything to do with (the attempt on June's life), you believe me?" Nick hits back with a smirk:"I don’t believe you have the power or the capability" OH SNAP. Again, the sass at peak levels, season 6 Nick does NOT give a fuck anymore and I’m here for it. Just full of snark and (sexual) frustration. Our boy, fuck yes. Daddy Wharton suddenly joins them and commences a congratulatory chat on New Bethlehem, which so far seems to be a great success due to bougie-ass commanders loving their foreign cars and Rolexes or somesuch. Sure, I guess that tracks (but I think at lot of them have still got to be nervous their favorite toys--the handmaids, of course--could be taken away if NB reform becomes to popular and spreads, which is as WE know of course, Lawrence's whole long-term plan). Wharton wants to know where Mrs. Waterford fits into this (who, Serena??) and Lawrence has to divert with some vague excuse of postpartum "lady stuff" to obscure the fact that he actually has no idea where she is--Side note: "The Wheelers turned out to be...problematic" cracked me up. You mean, operating exactly like every single wife and commander couple in Gilead who's ever had a handmaid or stolen someone else's child to raise? Problematic like that?--Well, Wharton thinks they would want her there for diplomatic visits--and at this moment baby Angela performs the most adorable jump scare "No!" (apparently she doesn't have the highest opinion of Serena Lol) and (grand)Daddy Wharton kindly spirits her off to find her "mom". Lawrence confirms that yes, he will jump just as high as the high commander asks him to so he asks Nick to have the Eyes track down the former Mrs. Waterford, despite Nick being quite reluctant and generally agreeing with Angela--he's like, fuck, Serena? Really? Can we just not and say we did??--Either Nick, like June, also has a weird undeserved soft spot for his former mistress (and lest we forget, his rapist as well) or he just really doesn't want to deal with her again (and who could blame him for the latter).

(what, is this a bad time?)

Sorry but I've just gotta say, Mark is definitely getting desperate if he's sending this current antsy, agitated version of Luke in to do important rebel spy work... I get that he's restless waiting for his trial, worrying about Hannah and missing June and Nichole, but seriously this man needs to try and meditate or something. Maybe, you know, do some training and mental work to try and be at least somewhat prepared for what he's getting himself (and Moira) into. At least Moira's got a little bit of subterfuge experience under her belt even if it's been a while (solo at that). And Moira of course can make her own decisions but I'd certainly be worried if this was the mental state my mission partner was in--his twitchy impatience is really giving me anxiety. And him telling Moira "don’t say anything about what we’re doing (to June) ok?" WTF, Luke this isn’t a fucking surprise birthday party you're planning, she needs and moreover deserves to know what your unqualified ass is doing ffs!! After everything she's lost and survived and what you both have been through the last few seasons you're really going to go all I know what's best for June again and keep this from her--ostensibly either to keep her from being mad (at least in this moment) or to "save her from herself" in case she would (rightly, as it seems) panic and leave her current safety in Alaska (which, SPOILER ALERT) she's gonna have to do anyway? He knows it's wrong too by the guilty look on his face as they hang up. Apparently he's just so completely confident (for no historical reason, mind you) that he'll pull off this mission flawlessly and be back before she noticed he was gone. But of course instead, just leaves her to blindly worry. Really, after all of Luke's self-absorbed whining in s4 about June "choosing" to stay in Gilead instead of "return to him", and after Moira spending most of s4/5 treating June as a reckless liability I find it insanely hypocritical they didn't tell her about the mission, instead leaving her to grow increasingly more worried when she can't get ahold of them on the phone. I mean it's not exactly as if June could have rung them up when she was on the run in Gilead, but they certainly had that chance and decided (seemingly on Luke's lead) to leave her in the dark. On a happy note, during this first phone call June gets the relief that Luke's out of jail for now, and the joyful opportunity to break the news of her and Holly's incredible reunion, putting her mom on the phone to say hi (Rita's reaction never having met Holly was adorably endearing, I half expected her to blurt out "I love you!" too).

TWO MONTHS LATER--

Our two female protagonists seem to be a bit more settled in to their new digs, with June still kicking it in Alaska with Mom Holly and the adorable baby Nichole/Holly, meanwhile Serena's picks tomatoes on the commune with (a pretty cute as well) baby Noah. The gardening causes her to flash back to distant pre-Gilead times with her father, a seemingly kindly but ostensibly right-wing preacher who approves of the type of views ("a new eden") that Serena outlined in her book and became the blueprints for Gilead itself. Sadly, Papa Joy also seems to have Parkinsons, although he seems spry enough as he herds her off to find some lemonade and gossip about her new boyfriend, FRED (hoo boy!).

At first I'm not really sure what the purpose of Serena’s daddy flashback is besides try to give her more humanity and tug on our heartstrings--I mean after meeting Serena's mom in s3 clearly her dad was the "nurturing" parent and she likely didn't get much parental warmth after he died. There does seems to be a real ongoing theme this episode of parental relationships. There is also some irony in her wanting to create Gilead (a “new garden of Eden”) for her dad and then was so busy making it happen that she may have missed out on the last good days she would have with him. Maybe it's mainly to show Serena finally looking back on her role in the rise of Gilead in perhaps (dare I say it) a somewhat self-reflective way? And then of course we have the commune leader reveal she’s always known who Serena was and does not seem to approve (although thankfully for Serena, unlike the train goers has decided to offer her some grace)... Perhaps it is Abigail's faith that leads her towards extreme forgiveness as Serena admits "It (Gilead) all went wrong" and she gently chides back, “all by itself..?” Lol

Enter… Commander Lawrence (good day, Joseph) of course, pulling up in his shiny car with a shiny new quip (or two). And of course, the new “Mrs. Lawrence”, as she smugly corrects Serena LOL. I guess she just couldn't bear to be apart from her new hubs. Lawrence asks Serena for a little stroll to give her his best pitch (and mea culpa): seems there is a place for her in Gilead after all (or Gilead 2.0 at least). Serena plays coy and hard to get ("Men make a mess of things”, after all--which I generally agree with but she does a pretty good job of that all by herself as well). But I think we all know where this is going (as Lawrence counters “You’re bored out of your mind”--which I also have to concur he has a point). Even without the threat of the Eyes and the baby-snatching wanna-be Wheelers, I have a hard time believing that Serena’s ego and ambition would ever really forgo this opportunity to play Gilead’s (or New Bethlehem’s) Sweetheart, in favor of quietly and anonymously living out her days as a farmer trad wife without a husband in this religious reenvisioning of "Herland". Symbolically, Serena has been sheltered in this garden of Eden of sorts; offered a new kind of peace and penance, but she's now tempted by the snake (Lawrence) holding out the apple that is NB and her “special role” in it, and really it's only a matter of time before she caves.

Listen, I still contend the 5x03 post funeral repast at Lawrence’s house where Mackenzie casually spoke of assassinating June over mashed potatoes while Nick desperately tried to control his face in front of his wife and colleagues was The Most Awkward Dinner Party Ever, but this one has to come in close second. "I’m more of a pray in silence kinda guy" Lawrence quips (seriously how has this man survived in Gilead for this long, they must really really admire him for his mind or they are really just that stupid) and their second choice Naomi comically flubs it (she must have failed grace at wife school). Luckily Serena Joy is there to take over and she just can’t miss the chance to upstage poor Naomi. She is. That. Bitch. (God Ever is fucking funny though). The very picture of smug self-satisfied piousness, Serena effortlessly rattles off a prayer that is very clearly, all about her. Some key words? “Justified” (yes, check--she loves that one), “glorified” (check--glory??  even better!) And upon finishing with a triumphant “and he will bring us back from exile!” Serena knows that yes, in fact she WILL be going back to Gilead, and she’s gonna be a STAR (more false piety and humility etc. etc. because GOD HAS A PLAN etc.). She is on the same plane as Moses and Elijah and Noah and will heal this broken world, goddamnit. I’m a little surprised she didn’t throw Jesus in the mix there too but then again we know the Gileadeans love their Old Testie the very bestie!

(it's me, hi, I'm the savior, it's me)

Back in Gilead, it's another season/another ominous father figure fireside chat for Nick. And uh oh, Daddy Wharton seems to know all about Nick’s daddy issues (is that in Nick's permanent Gilead record or has he actually been vulnerable enough in the "better times" to share his past with Rose, who has now shared with her father??). And then shits on his mom for having been a working parent. Rude, sir! Poor Nick, we knew his dad was not a good provider or support system from his s1 flashback but just how “difficult” was he? Wharton continues: "Waterford, Lawrence. You’ve let these men come into your life and guide you”(and here I just want to point out, more like he "guided" Fred into his early grave if ya know what I mean... the omission of Pryce here is also striking but then I guess that relationship was well on the hush hush given the secrecy of his Eye status)… and now apparently it’s Daddy W’s turn and I am more scared for our boy than ever. Nick says he was never confused about these men's role in his life but I just have to hope he doesn't let himself get confused with Wharton, who just may be the slickest of them all (not a hard bar to beat with Fred at least). "You’ll be a father yourself soon" he says, ironically echoing similar words from the ghost of Fred (and again to that I say um EXCUSE ME SIR, HE'S ALREADY HOLLY/NICHOLE’S FATHER THANK YOU) and harps once again on good choices and high potential, and once again I really do not think that his idea of these things for Nick mesh with mine (also, NOooo he did NOT call Nick "son", I am cringing at yet more involuntary Fred flashbacks). I believe we are getting subtle signs that Nick is more stressed/affected by his father in laws words than he would like to admit, as he seems to be drinking more than we’ve ever seen(?). Whether because he is moved by the speech or more likely just more wary than ever due to the scrutiny he's under, he throws Mark Tuello's spy sim card into the fire then sits back down to do some more sexy brooding and perhaps think wait, fuck what did I just do? And then becomes a Dark Sith Lord (just kidding, you might not know it from the score and the lighting though so that was a pretty neat trick). It's the sudden switch to slow motion as the camera rotates and the music begins to distort that REALLY gives the feeling of an ominous shift happening, as Nick's face is slowly consumed by the shadows.

(shit, guess I better remember to pick up my hooded cloak at the dry cleaners tomorrow)

Meanwhile, June is trying to get hold of Luke (again) SERIOUSLY DOES THE MAN NOT REALIZE HOW FUCKING HARD IT IS TO MAKE A PHONE CALL HERE, THEY HAVE TOLD HIM THIS FFS! Just how long did she have to wait in that super long phone line just to get the answering machine? Just rude. We can see her trying to stay calm but she's clearly getting concerned. Finally, desperate with worry after what has to be weeks of no reply, she cuts the phone call line again and this time dials Mark. She gets through and he must waste no time in telling her that weeelll, there may have been just one little thing Luke didn’t tell her and now something has gone wrong best and her best friend and husband are stuck in imminent danger while she's stuck in Alaska (or is she, we'll see about that!).

“MAYday??” Holly exclaims back in the house (he did WHAT now??) I know, Holly I know. She is incredulous that June seems to be jumping up to head back in "you're not a spy, you're not a soldier!" which really kind of just undercuts how much of June's story since Gilead Holly has yet to learn lol. “Ehhh you don’t really know how much of a badass bitch your daughter is now what I’ve done, Mom”.  

June adds that "there's a commander" working for the Americans, who has gone dark but "he'll respond to me". Holly gives a knowing look, immediately clocking that this is Nichole's father, but incorrectly assuming he was "June's commander" and June merely "did what she had to do". June's amendment that he was the driver at her commander's house does not bring much comfort though and Holly's distrust only seems to deepen. Her math: the drivers are Eyes; Eyes are all bad. All monsters. Not to be trusted. And could be setting a trap to get Nichole. June fiercely denies this characterization of Nick "No, not him. He loves Nichole". The irony is that now that June wants to step up and fight "it's what you taught me!", Holly just wants June safe. “I was wrong! I lost!” She can't bear the thought of losing her daughter once again. She insists “All you can do is survive and protect the people you love” to June shoots back “That is what I am doing! (and ironically it’s also what Nick has been doing this whole time). And YES, HOLLY, NICK IS INCLUDED IN THE PEOPLE SHE LOVES, SHE LOVES HIM OK). The heatedness comes to a boiling head when Holly finally flings out "my daughter fucked a nazi and is running across the country to see him" (OH NO SHE DIDNT).

Her words hit like a slap in the face to June and the viewer. But thinking on it in the full context of character history, the argument isn't really that surprising. June and her outspoken radical feminist/activist mom have always been somewhat at odds (even if June's now caught up to the larger fight), and to Holly, men have been--at best--a likely distraction from your true potential, and--at worst and especially now after all she's seen--monsters, all of them. Holly's outburst is a deeply emotional reaction coming from a place of long-held black-and-white biases and worry for her daughter, but moreover her recent trauma over the last long several years, suffering and watching her friends be killed. My first instinct was of course screaming for June to defend Nick's honor more vehemently, offer the concrete examples that we know prove he's a good guy. But I think I get it. She's exhausted, scared and flustered at the reemergence of this old (but long buried) dynamic with her mother. She feels the familiar resentment of her life choices being constantly questioned and judged and, overwhelmed, resorts to her old standby of lashing out in her own personal attack when Holly insists she leave Nichole there: "why, so you can abandon her too??" She's of course immediately regretful of her rash words as her mom walks out, stunned, though still no doubt is also stinging from Holly's. Deep down though June probably knows nothing's going to truly change her mom's mind but time and seeing for herself. I can only hope that June and Holly do get to have that deeper (and calmer) conversation about Nick: everything he is to her and everything he's done for her and baby Holly (he helped me to survive). And that maybe one day, she gets to actually meet Nick and--if very likely give him a fair amount of shit (we'd expect nothing less!)--eventually see and accept him for the good man he is (and good for June). That'll be my headcanon anyway!

Sitting outside, June and her mom make up, and June tells her "I know you didn't abandon me". Holly once again implores June (but in a gentler, more diplomatic manner this time) to leave her Nichole in her care her while Junes heads off back to No Man's Land and I swear to god if this whole "this is for her safety, it could be a trap” thing turns out to be foreshadowing for Nick doing something he would NEVER DO (like put his beloved daughters safety and/or freedom in jeopardy) I WILL RIOT. That said I would certainly not begrudge Holly getting some familial bonding time with her adorable little granddaughter namesake, and as much as I want Nick to be able to see his bb girl again I DO think it’s probably best not to take that sweet innocent little baby toddler into a dangerous rescue mission so close to Gilead, no? And of course if June had left her with Mark to babysit I’d just be left to obsess over my on-again/off-again Testaments conspiracy theory… again. So it’s probably for the best. Probably thinking the same thing (about the time the Hollys have missed together and rescue mission danger, not the conspiracy theory), June agrees. Her mom saying the name "Nichole" then seems to trigger a memory, and June smiles at the secret she now reveals, telling Holly how she actually named her daughter after her when she was born, "her real name's Holly". Ok so then I have a bone to pick back up with you, June, why TF not use her real name then?? Wouldn't it in fact be safer because Gilead knows about "Baby Nichole", they've never heard of "Baby Holly"! Is this like a fae thing where they can't use her "real name" because it holds too much power and gives too much of her power away to the people who know it? OK I know, I know, it's because of Margaret Atwood and the Testaments. It's just funny to me whenever they bring up "Holly's her real name" just to ignore it again while she's young enough to not know the difference and there's no reason to "honor" Serena's legacy of "motherhood" anymore. Poor kid, Holly/Nichole/Daisy/Jade is gonna be so confused. Well, at least mama Holly knows now that June was thinking of her and missing and carrying on her legacy in this way. AND we baby Holly truthers get to feel re-validated. Speaking of which, GEEZ BB HOLLY/NICHOLE IS SO FREAKING CUTE, I'm not even a "baby person" and that little smile when she looks over to June, my heart MELTS. June and mom Holly share a tearful and touching embrace, and soon it is time for June to say a bittersweet goodbye-for-now to her sweet daughter as she plays with some blocks--little Holly: BB GENIUS, amirite?  (ok but why does that toy kind of look like a dick though. Really. Just me???)

(the bwitch is back)

The closing sequence is a great split/multiple perspective parallel montage of June and Serena's respective returns from "exile", set to “Burn the Witch”: Serena as Gilead Boss Bitch Barbie dressed in her mauve power suit/power trench and preparing for her star turn (It's interesting that this mauve kind of pinky purple seems to be the “designated color” for single women in NB?? I guess we can infer it’s similar to the “plum” the pubescent girls in Gilead as “future wives in training” wear, since even though they are in fact children, according to Gilead they technically are single, or rather “eligible yet unmarried” “women”. Kinda fun and unexpected that we get a bit of somewhat unexpected new world building at this point in the show with NB, since Gilead proper world has been so well established for seasons now!). June suited up in black (or dark colors anyway) and a backpack, striding determinedly through a darkened field (at dusk or dawn?) while her mom and daughter look on in farewell . Serena on the private jet like the royalty she knows she is (for some the NB brochure really made me lol). June in the back of a military truck. Serena in a van pulling up to the gates of NB (there are definitely some very Stepford/uncanny valley vibes about this place, in a way it’s almost more disconcerting than Gilead proper in that it has the same unsettling quality but it’s a bright beautiful suburb where people seem to be happy and smiling), then sauntering up to her shiny new beachside property. June looking up at the massive Mayday safehouse, which appears to be a former resort/lodge or country club of some sort(?) and following Mark through a maze of hallways and stairs to the final big reveal: a seeming shit ton of uber drivers and pharmacists and teachers, all hanging out just waiting for her!

I loved the slow motion shot (is it just me or is there a LOT of slow motion used so far this season?) of Nick turning his head but standing standing his ground as Serena walks up, contrasted with the civilian mayday fighters one by one turning and falling in line behind June as she walks though the safehouse (ball?)room. HI THIS IS THE TWO HALVES OF OUR ALPHA REBEL POWER COUPLE OK? And soon to reunite (Hallelujah, amen). Honestly I feel like I’m left a little confused by this whole mayday plot thing… so there is a whole building full of people who are somehow involved in the baddie commanders info mission but Moira and Luke are the only two stuck behind and in trouble? What are they all doing there in that building if June's the one going in, for solidarity? Or is this a more long-term Mayday operations base so they're waiting for other missions/phases of the mission? What is going on. Am I missing something? Clearly. Anyway, maybe we'll find out later. What really matters right now is NICK AND JUNE ARE MEETING UP(!!!). IMMINENTLY. Someone's gotta go save her feckless dummy of a husband, after all.

[withgreatpowercomesmyfuckingdick]

Hi! Imma do something rare and actually make content, but its 11 at night and i just had a brain worm

for those of you that don’t know, i work at an accounting office. we do taxes. it is tax season. and now im thinking abt how AGSZC does taxes and what their papers are like and im inflicting it on the rest of you even if its gibberish

Angeal: A godsend. Keeps his forms in order and filed properly, calculates everything else himself like a good man. Papers honestly aren’t too bad, maybe 10-12 just because of his career/insurance plus his doubtless donations to charity, but aside from that. straightforward and done at his kitchen table

Genesis: A fucking NIGHTMARE. no doubt pays someone else to do it. and for fucks sake, i know he invests. constantly and consistently and probably in anything he thinks stands the slightest chance against shinra on the market. his 1099-B is a mess and definitely Not Totaled, so his is the bullshit you have to insert one. investment. at. a time. He’s the type that keeps fucking calling too, I can just tell. but, aside from the 1099-B, he’s probably got simple stuff as well. probably several 1099-INTs from several different bank accounts, maybe a couple 1098s floating around from vacation houses or some shit.

Sephiroth: Does his own. In ridiculously early. Makes almost no personal purchases so hardly has anything to pay. I can’t imagine not having a last name or not knowing his birthday doesn’t end up a legal problem somehow, so he likely has to walk directly into a damn tax office to say hey this is me and this is my shit no, someone isn’t stealing my identity. has one singular document and it’s his W-2. Which is. Fucking astronomical. Like, the number doesn’t even look right. His paycheck as a SOLDIER isn’t taxed, so he doesn’t really get much back on his refund. The only first without a healthcare /insurance form because why tf would Sephiroth have healthcare? What’s he gonna do, get sick?

not getting into how doing his own taxes was definitely a fight between him and Hojo at some point and ended up getting hashed out in a board room. Hojo didn’t like him having the autonomy of filing for himself instead of being claimed ad Hojo’s ‘dependent’. Sephiroth deadass threatened to go to court abt it. The President told Hojo to suck it up so they didn’t have to deal with scandal, Hojo wouldn’t tell Seph his birthday to be difficult, and here we are

Zack: Panicking. Late. Doesn’t know if his forms came in the mail, doesn’t know where he put them most of the time. Scrambles around for a fuck ton of receipts, ultimately has to request Shinra send him his shit again. DEFINITELY pays someone else to do it. W-2, 1095-A, 1099-C(s)(he has several debts i can feel it i love him but he screams bad financial decisions), probably some shit for his bike too. He customs it so I can see him listing some parts he buys for it as work expenses. Jokingly puts some money he gave aerith for flowers and what he spent to make her wagon as donations to charity and it actually goes through because the church is still considered a legal entity. Definitely has to pay late fees.

Cloud: Pays Tifa to do it. Filing for both of them is a nightmare cause all their shit burnt in Nibelheim, so once Edge gets right with the WRO they have to do all their paperwork from scratch and get reassigned SSNs. He genuinely has a fuckton of paperwork from doing the Strife Delivery Service. Luckily, only ‘employee’ he has is Tifa, and even then she doesn’t do things regularly aside from pick up the phone. Doesn’t make his business an LLC until he’s literally forced to due to his number of clients and someone trying to sue him for damages. 1099-NEC for TIfa for sure, then once he’s an LLC, some yearly maintenance to keep legal. Mileage and gas expenses go CRAZY on his self employment form, I fucking bet. I bet Cloud’s handwriting is shit tho. Tifa’s at her desk counting up his gains and losses for fucking ages because his fives look too similar to sixes. Eventually she wrangles him into installing some shit on his phone that counts it up, if only to cure her headache. Funnily enough, he does get veteran benefits from what’s left of Shinra’s shit, reparations of sorts, but he doesn’t keep it. All goes to charity, so that ends up in the books too.

alright, that was unnecessarily in depth and way longer than i planned. good night LMAO

Considerations for Filing Form 1099-NEC Reports

Filing Form 1099-NEC (Nonemployee Compensation) is an important tax reporting requirement for businesses that have paid $600 or more to a nonemployee for services performed during the tax year. The purpose of this form is to report payments made to independent contractors, freelancers, and other nonemployee service providers. These payments are considered "nonemployee compensation," and they need to be reported to both the IRS and the recipient for tax purposes.

Here are the key steps and considerations when filing Form 1099-NEC:

Determine Who Should Receive a 1099-NEC: You need to determine which individuals or businesses you made payments to that meet the criteria for 1099-NEC reporting. Generally, this includes payments of $600 or more made for services rendered, including freelance work, contract labor, and professional fees. Obtain W-9 Forms: Before making payments to nonemployees, it's a good practice to collect W-9 forms from these individuals or entities. A W-9 form provides the necessary information, including the recipient's name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN). This information will be used to complete the 1099-NEC. Complete Form 1099-NEC: You will need to fill out the Form 1099-NEC for each recipient to report their nonemployee compensation. This form includes the payer's information, recipient's information, and payment details. Make sure to double-check all information for accuracy. File with the IRS: You must file Form 1099-NEC with the IRS. The due date for filing with the IRS is typically the end of January for the previous tax year, but it can vary. Check the current tax year's instructions for the exact due date. Provide Copies to Recipients: You are also required to provide a copy of Form 1099-NEC to each recipient by the same due date for filing with the IRS. This allows the recipients to report the income on their own tax returns. Penalties: Failure to file Form 1099-NEC or to provide it to the recipients on time can result in penalties imposed by the IRS. Keep Records: It's essential to keep accurate records of the 1099-NEC forms you've filed and copies provided to recipients for at least four years. Electronic Filing: The IRS encourages electronic filing of Form 1099-NEC. There are various online platforms and software programs that can help with this process. State Reporting: In addition to federal reporting, some states also require you to report nonemployee compensation. Be sure to check your state's requirements and deadlines. It's important to stay up to date with the current IRS guidelines and requirements for Form 1099-NEC, as regulations can change from year to year. To ensure compliance, you may want to consult with a tax professional or use tax preparation software to assist with the filing process.

In which I am Not an Accountant, but

Executive funcdtiuhn boogaloo.

In the past, say five weeks I have had

one Finance Professional inform me that I was supposed to be filing IRS returns for a trust my late father set up - something I was definitely, 100% NOT TOLD when my father originally set it up nor when I dealt with paperwork for it after his death.

a tax preparer realize (because I tried to find a figure on my 2023 return, and it was missing) that a substantial error was made in my taxes. (He gets grace - because it's his first slip-up, and he handled it with humility and professionalism.)

a state-sponsored college savings plan "deny" a claim I made against the fund - a claim that they approved and fully paid out last January.

Finance Bro's office, from #1 above, called me to say that, when I signed paperwork for the set-up of the trust, [in 2022!] there was one important form missing. I need to come sign it, right away.

aaaand today I was looking for some 1099 forms online, and realized that the other Finance Professional, who I met with on the 13th to rebalance some investments, did not actually DO what we agreed on at that meeting. So I had to contact her and - nicely - ask about it. She was embarrassed and quickly made it right, but. Jeez.

I do not have the bandwidth. nor the financial experience. to keep double-checking all these issues. God only knows what ELSE has been missed or done incorrectly . . and I just don't know it. Yet.

Girl. hlep. my exectuveis. aren't funqtionng

Hey! It's A Great Time To Review Your W4! and other fun tax things they don't seem to be teaching in school. (detailed explanations in the read more)

Disclaimer: These are super basic basics. I'm not an expert. I've just seen a lot of people get hit hard and it really sucks.

Don't throw away your income documents.

Keep copies of your returns.

File every year you have an income.

File even if you're going to owe.

Amend your return if you realize there's something wrong on the original.

There's a statute of limitations on refunds.

They can use your refund for certain debt.

There are programs so you don't get dinged for your joint filer's debt.

You can request a rush on the basis of extreme hardship.

You can request a waiver for penalties/interest on late payments.

Know the basics for your area. Due diligence, right?

If you have a business, please be careful.

Review your W4.

Keep your contact info up to date.

If they send a letter, response immediately.

If you don't hear anything in 4 weeks, call/message/visit a local office.

You can file directly with the IRS now, and some states.

If you use tax preparation software/service, double check everything.

If you're expecting a refund triple-check your bank info.

If you're making a payment, triple-check it goes through.

Don't wait til the last day to make a payment.

Consider getting a registered online account with the IRS and/or your state.

Take several deep breaths.

(↓ more details ↓)

Don't throw away your income documents. W2s, 1099s, anything that shows income and/or withholding. How long? Forever.

Keep copies of your returns, in formats you can easily access. Highly recommend a hard copy as well as digital, or at least available offline. How long? Forever. (I know there are statutes of limitations, but I don't trust that)

File every year you have an income. Honestly might want to file even if you don't - you can put all zeroes. If you should have filed and didn't, they can make an educated guess, and you might not like it. If you owe, they can add failure to file/failure to pay penalties that can really add up.

File even if you're going to owe. You can set up payment plans, if needed. If you don't file, the penalties and interest are insane.

Amend your return if you realize there's something wrong on the original. Audits aren't just for comedic effect on sitcoms, and as above, the penalties and interest are insane.

There's a statute of limitations on refunds. For the IRS, it's "3 years from the date you filed your federal income tax return, or 2 years from the date you paid the tax". States vary.

They can use your refund for certain debt. Child support, student loans that aren't on a plan, overpayment of benefits, traffic tickets…

There are programs so you don't get dinged for your joint filer's debt. They take longer to process, but you will be able to keep your refund even if your joint filer's refund is used to pay a debt.

You can request a rush in cases of extreme hardship. Eviction, medication, feeding children. It's not a guarantee, but you can ask.

You can request a waiver for penalties and interest on late payments. Again, not a guarantee, but you can ask.

Know the basics for your area. You don't have to be an expert, but the basics: Which forms to file, filing dates, how extensions work, if there are city/county taxes that need to be filed separately, if you need to make estimated payments…

If you have a business, please be careful. all of the above plus more. It can get so messy, and so hard to clean up.

Review your W4. Make sure you have the right amount coming out. Do you want to owe, get a refund, get close to zero? Make an informed decision and make sure your W4 reflects that. Highly recommend checking again in a few months, sometimes HR can be shifty bastards.

Keep your contact info up to date. If they need more info, they won't hunt you down. This includes if you move after you file. Phone number isn't as important, but address is.

If they send a letter asking for information, respond immediately. They will either not process the return, or make an educated guess based on what they have. Even if it's just to say "Hey, I can't get this document because _", they need something. Also - getting a letter doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong. With electronic filing, they don't get images of your W2/1099, and they want to double check. Or there's an address/filing status change they want to be sure of. Or maybe you had an identity theft situation in the past. Or or or. Or maybe you are a "fraudster"!

If you don't hear anything in maybe 4 weeks, call/message/visit a local office. Sometimes things happen. A letter was sent but was returned. A manual review was stalled and just needed a nudge. Sometimes the return didn't show up at all. Also - when/if you contact them, please be civil. The person who answers the phone has so little control over any of this. A polite, "Hey, just wanted to make sure everything's good" will go a long way.

You can file directly with the IRS now, and some states. In some cases, you can even port your info from IRS to state, saving you the trouble of re-entering a bunch of stuff. Best, you can be sure it actually was received.

If you use tax preparation software/service, double check everything. Make sure the numbers look reasonable, make sure you know where their fee is coming from, make sure you know where your refund is going (like to a pre-paid card or your own bank), make sure you know FOR SURE if they are scheduling a payment on your behalf. Sometimes it's not obvious, and this can result in double-payments or worse. Mostly, make sure the return is accepted. Get it in writing. Don't wait two months to ask, when they are closed for the season.

If you're expecting a refund triple-check your bank info. If something changes with your bank info after you file, call.

If you're making a payment, triple-check it goes through. I mean so you don't double-pay. If you paid online, make sure you got a confirmation number. If you don't, call. Don't assume it didn't work and pay again. Even if you figure it out before it hits your bank, there's nothing the revenuers can do to stop it.

Don't wait til the last day to make a payment. If something goes wrong, if the check is lost in the mail or the bank is acting fucky, it will go badly. Preparation software is evil about scheduling the payments for the last minute.

Consider getting a registered online account with the IRS and/or your state. You can track your return, and also see letters before they're mailed, see past info, send messages, make payments, check on payment status, update info. Yes, the websites aren't great, but it gives you a little more control.

Again, not a Tax Professional in any way. Just don't want anyone to get fucked by Surprise! Tax Shit!

Form 1099-NEC vs. MISC: How to get ready for the TY 2024 IRS Deadline

It’s tax reporting time again, and businesses must be aware of their obligations regarding Form 1099-NEC (Non-Employee Compensation). The IRS requires companies to file this form by January 31, 2025, to report payments made to independent contractors and non-employees. If your business paid an independent contractor $600 or more in the previous tax year for services, filing Form 1099-NEC on time is essential to avoid penalties.

[aging userbase alert]

i got my W-2 today & i was like 'yaaay i will file my taxes while i am thinking of it, i now live in a direct file state! it will be easy & not involve handing my information over to some third-party company that might have terrible data handling practices,' because i like to file taxes as early as possible a) so i do not have time to misplace my W-2 and b) because my employer withheld tax for me, so i have functionally been giving the government a free loan & can i just say i do NOT like what uncle sam has been doing with that money, give it back you fucker!!! unfortunately you cannot direct file in my state if you contributed to an IRA (i know this sounds bougie but it is a very common & widely encouraged form of retirement savings, even if you've only got a little bit to sock away), or if you have cash tips, or if you worked as an independent contractor (so, like, gig work; the only 1099 it can handle is a 1099-INT, for interest on bank deposits).

& i hate that! i hate that a lot. the IRA thing is annoying for me but the part where it can't handle cash tips or independent contractor income is actually really bad in my opinion because this excludes a pretty big number of lower income american workers, who are more likely to be taken advantage of by tax preparation companies that will not protect their data & will often attempt to shunt them into confusing paid filing options. or they end up going with scummy irl tax preparers, who make a killing on low income people's tax returns! the IRS desperately wants everyone to e-file because it is much faster & more efficient & in many ways less error-prone, but the free file program has enriched tax preparation companies at the expense of american workers who were underserved & misled, and now direct file leaves out a bunch of basic stuff & excludes people who need it. if you want to e-file for free, supposing you cannot direct file (if you are reading my tumblr blog & need to file taxes in the united states i am sure you fall beneath the income threshold for the free file program), you must go to the IRS's page of free file partners, then shop around to find one that can handle your tax situation & hopefully doesn't have too terrible a track record with customer data. it's stupid & i'm mad about it! there should not be a united states & there absolutely should not be any government of human persons which comports itself with such ridiculous stupidity

Have you heard about the thing where Etsy is going to change its terms so people can't participate in class action lawsuits against them?

thank you for sending an ask about this, i wanted to make a public post about it but couldn't think of what to write

yes i did! they're massive pieces of shit! i'm in the process of shutting down my shop- I have been running this store for a year now and it has been a nightmare the entire time. from the start, i have been dealing with endless bullshit on etsy's behalf. for the first 3 month of owning my store i had to wait for every single payment to clear, well over the projected amount of time they would tell me it was supposed to take.

i was in desperate need of money to pay rent and not be homeless during that time and etsy ended up not even coming close to paying for my necessities because of how steep their fees are, how deep the cuts they take, and how expensive shipping labels still are on their platform. they cut you a deal, but you're still paying something to the tune of nearly $4 for each package. that adds up so fast.

etsy is an absolutely horrendous site to vend for. people have been saying this for years, but it's only continuing to get worse. etsy is genuinely abusive to its shop owners. did you know they won't give you a 1099 form to file your taxes in the US unless you've made more than $25,000 in a year on their platform? i am aware that etsy handles a lot of taxes for you but fuck them for this.

they do not care about a single person who works for them. they are horrible. we are shutting down our etsy store and either vending our art IRL only, or migrating to ko-fi for a digital storefront for our art. this is the final nail in the coffin. let etsy die. fuck them for treating the people who built them like this

have a good day, thanks for reaching out, we appreciate it a lot! we're going to be closing our store as soon as we're able to refund some orders we weren't able to complete, due to etsy not letting us generate shipping labels for those orders, and issues with being able to afford materials.
