    Revocable Trust distributions considered income? Taxes owed?

    It is still tax season and all the CPAs are too busy to help me. It'll be a few months. I'm pretty sure the distributions I would receive now are tax free (and frankly, living only on Social Security isn't working, my savings will be exhausted in 3 months - chronic illness that insurance doesn't...

    Revocable Trust distributions considered income? Taxes owed?

    So confusing. Unfortunately tax experts are a little busy right now so I'll have to wait for an appointment. Too bad because I'm super responsible when it comes to things like this, don't like surprises. My brother, executor, says any "principal" is just "inheritance" and not taxable (of...

    Revocable Trust distributions considered income? Taxes owed?

    My mom passed away recently and a REVOCABLE trust had been set up. It instructs a certain amount of money to be distributed monthly to the three beneficiaries as long as is possible, hopefully lifetime, but there are provisions to make adjustments to amount and time given changeable economic...

    Additional bill 3 years after procedure (any time limits)?

    Thanks. Yeah, I just found a site showing statute of limitations for various debts (oral, written, etc), and the four year time frame. This for service rendered 2.5 years ago. While not easily accessible, I should have original bills in with my tax documents (the shoe box method, sigh) to...

    Additional bill 3 years after procedure (any time limits)?

    I had an expensive dental procedure 3 years ago and to the best of my understanding, I paid (in full?) at the time (well, Care Credit, anyway). This evening I go to the mail and there is a bill from that dentist for nearly $900. Can he do that? I mean, what is to prevent a medical practitioner...

    Poor job performance BECAUSE of failing health may lead to termination

    No. Which is why I'm concerned that it is part of the disease process.

    Poor job performance BECAUSE of failing health may lead to termination

    I think I have a good handle on the SSDI issue, because if/when I reach a point of not being able to work, it WOULD cover a lot of possibilities. In semi-medical terms it would resemble Fibromyalgia (including the brain fog/short term memory disfunction) with intractable pain, GI disturbances...

    Poor job performance BECAUSE of failing health may lead to termination

    Uhm ONE thing prevents me, I'm still working! (When I was off for three months I applied for SSDI, but going back to work killed it, of course.) As for SS alone, I plan to this year. But I'm limited to earning $1310/month, and so I could not work more than 10 hours a week before exceeding that...

    Poor job performance BECAUSE of failing health may lead to termination

    Ah, yes Social Security Disability. Yes, I could take early retirement Social Security AND apply for the Disability... one advantage to my age group. The salary wasn't all THAT high, just high for the field (LOL). There is only a $350 difference between SS and SSD in my case. My original plan...

    Poor job performance BECAUSE of failing health may lead to termination

    Ah, as expected… If reason for termination is: 1) Lack of work - then I’m golden 2) Poor performance and/or tardiness - maybe (can produce doctor notes to address this and discuss how company acknowledged and worked with me) 3) Chronic illness (don’t know if this is a “reason”) preventing me...

    Poor job performance BECAUSE of failing health may lead to termination

    Due to slow, but steadily declining health it is likely I could be let go within the year because it is affecting my ability to do my work, and I acknowledge that. The company culture is family friendly, so whereas any place else I would have been fired years ago, they endeavor to accommodate...

    How does Social Security collect overpayment - No dispute on my part

    Thought about it txls. I would still need to find out how they handle portions of a benefit. I see me owing $3038, with checks at $1271. If their crack team of agents are on top of things (HA!) then 3 checks withheld and they owe me some. Would YOU count on SS to start up on check #4 in a...

    How does Social Security collect overpayment - No dispute on my part

    Yes, 1/2 of anything above the $1310 would get socked away. I never thought of that. Hm... kind of makes sense. I will have to examine this more closely, taxes and all. But, stream of consciousness... already paid taxes on it, so it would just replace the money losing the current year from that...

    How does Social Security collect overpayment - No dispute on my part

    I’m quite ill, but not eligible for SSDI as I don’t have a “recognized” condition. Of course working to 66 is better (DUH), but not possible. My boss isn’t going to put up with the 32 hours much longer, and reduce me to part-time, no benefits whatsoever. I will work as long as I can, but...
