My church hosts a large event for college-age men and women (whether or not they're in college and whether or not they attend our church) every year. It's basically a celebration of the completion of the fall semester, and the end of another calendar year, with some religious content sprinkled...

Thank you. This is really helpful!

Thank you to both of you. Just to continue this thread one round longer. Can someone explain the scope of "fiduciary responsibility?" Like (for example) she has a great deal of things she's been collecting over the years. She wants them all to go to museums and libraries and the like. I...

Thank you for all the useful information you provided. I do appreciate that but it almost freaks me out even more. There are 4 reasons I can think of that she wants me to be the executor. 1) I am her closest living relative in terms of family relations; 2) although I live near the Great Lakes...

An elderly family member in California has designated me to be the executor of her estate. I live thousands of miles away in a different state. I have no idea what the duties or responsibilities of an executor are and I've never done anything like that before. Is there a checklist or a class I...

Okay, here's the deal. I own a home in Rural Small Town "A" which used to be a 75 minute commute (each way) from my job. Why do I live so far away? Well, I never really planned on that but unemployment was very high in my rural small town, the highest in my state in fact for a long time...

So the auto response I usually get when I try to put in the UPS Box number as my SECONDARY mailing address (they already have my primary physical address) is something to the effect that "Commercial mailbox services are not allowed." When I put in the same mailing address and make the mailbox...

Why don't banks and financial institutions (most of them anyway) let me use a UPS Box as a mailing address? I got a UPS Box as a place to send my mail because it was more secure than my friont porch when I'm gone all day, and it's extremely convenient on my way to/from work. I used to have a PO...

Not in I.T. per se, but in a closely related field. Who knows, maybe we do work for the same company. But as I've talked with more people I've discovered there seems to be a lot of this kind of thing going around lately.

Apologies in advance for the length of this question. I believe that my position has been "dumbed down" and my responsibilities have been reduced (by newly instituted micromanagement) to the point that I no longer qualify as FLSA Exempt. Is this even possible? My co-workers and I (not just...

No I haven't. I didn't know that it was possible to get RENTERS INSURANCE for a motel room, but I will check into it. Is this something I should look into every time I travel, or just this time? Also does anyone know what the "Additional Insured" thing means? To me it sounds like I'm paying...

My employer canceled the leases on several buildings to consolidate space. I am in a group that is "indefinitely" assigned to work 100% from home. Basically they have no room to give us office space, so that's why we're working from home. They just sent around a new set of WFH rules. One of...

So you're saying it is a Federal crime to not claim a deduction to which you are entitled?

I am using on-line tax preparation software. I had Student Loan Interest payments of $66.95 last year. If I completely omit my student loan interest payments I am eligible to use the Free version of the on-line tax prep software, and eligible to file for free. But when I enter my student loan...

Sorry, I know this sounds like a dumb question, but a friend of mine has marfan syndrome which means he's unusually tall. He was depressed when he found out that he can't donate his body to a medical school after he dies because they have a height limit on donated bodies. He is a foot taller...

With workplaces bringing employees back to work, what if an employee is over 65 and the CDC Guidelines say people over 65 are high risk? Can employees over 65 request ADA accommodation to continue working from home because they're considered high risk? How do they do that? Do they need to get...

I apologize if this isn't the right place for this question. I couldn't figure out where to put it. My employer keeps directing me to lie to customers. An example would be, "No decision has been made about that refund yet," when the truth is that they have already decided not to give the...

I have a home office and have worked from home frequently in the past. But I never took a tax deduction for my home office because it was not for my employer's convenience; it was for mine. As of a hasty conference call earlier today, my employer now wants me (and others) to work from home...
