davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
@msf Do they show an example ?
Also "It's your option whether to declare the imputed interest from market discount annually or upon sale/redemption. " Does that hold for notes ?
@BaluBalu : Let me add : It seems to be a double edged sword ! More tax revenue for Feds, but less for the state as one can subtract T-bill interest from state taxes if the math isn't done.
@yogibearbull For sure ! I thought that was part of his p…
@BaluBalu : This may be reason enough to stick with CD's & MMF's ! I had a few T-bills that matured last year & "guess" I'll see if taxes got done "properly". Unfortunately I have more that were bought at market for this year.
My 2 cents, return to the Rust Belt. Lots of water in WI., two great lakes to dip from !
Building in AZ. has no common sense , with the water usage required.
@hank : as for your question , Is that a result of this discussion or did you have other reasons beforehand? So I can take foreign tax credit. A previous buy & today a sell. One more round trip & I'll be done. Now I need to fine MF or stock …

@Old_Joe : I concur with you. 2005 Camry 270K miles. One minor exhaust repair, one water pump, one battery purchase,one set of plugs, & a few tires !! Brakes haven't been touched. All offers considered.

Let me add this kicker to dishwasher episode. "We do it every night like clockwork !!"
I'd say we, the two of us, run the dishwasher every 2 or 3 days.
@Old_Joe carrier = E-mail address . outlook, yahoo, g mail. Email had my brothers first part of address, Handle, but the "carrier" was wrong.
Have a good evening, Derf
P.S. Bro would
never sent $200 !!
@msf If I understand what you said, then the .625 % & 1 % bonds will continue to gain value as they get closer to maturity. I take that "face amount" is total purchase of that particular bond or note ,etc. ?

At one time when working & doing my taxes, advisor fees could be itemized. Thus cutting drag. With 401-k I never paid much attention to drag when account was smart, but as the years went bye & account grew the pain became noticeable !!

@Old_Joe : Good post. Why do you think more people don't move their money ? When rates were .5% to 1% I can understand not moving your money, but at rates around 5% why not make the move ?
For the first time ever I received a personal note from b…
Thanks for your comments @msf . After their boondoggle on Sunday evening RMD withdrawal, which hopefully will get straightened out tomorrow, I'm thinking they need to get their ( platform, operating system), performing before adding any more cust…
