@andreacpa0 These are spot on. My son is an engineering student and moonlights in the summer for me working on inputs. He drives me nuts sometimes with his $.12 variance report. I tell him we have to give Doge something to say they've found or it will disrupt the system.

@matt_vanswol @EFisherWX Yes, you are certainly confused and have no idea what temporary details are in the fed. gov't. Details are mostly short-term projects you can volunteer/apply to do. They're for people already working for the agency and a great way to get new experiences and skills.

We stayed in a place for 1 night and the guy said we did $700 worth of damage. This was on top of them changing the price- I don’t know how they did it- and the cleaning fee was more than the cost of the one night. I disputed it and didn’t pay. If it was a valid charge I would have. Literally in the house less than 12 hours, mostly spent sleeping.

@joespfeifer @EchoplexSE @GuyDealership No idea and I don't expect it to last. When I bought my original Bolt in 2021 the rates were 1 cent, 6 cents, and 20 cents. They're now at 1.7, 7.9, and 23 cents.

@EchoplexSE @joespfeifer @GuyDealership It really is. There's no way GA Power can sustain it long term. They've already increased from 1 cent to 1.7 since April 2021.

@joespfeifer @EchoplexSE @GuyDealership Maintenance costs are nearly nonexistent (tires wear faster, brakes wear slower, way less individual components in the powertrain). Car has replaced my husband's truck as the family vehicle. More than enough range to do all the running around we want.

@joespfeifer @EchoplexSE @GuyDealership For me, Bolt EUV, metro Atlanta: I commute approx. 30 miles one way to work. My car is rated for 247 miles of range but is really closer to 280 about 8 months/year. I have GA Power's EV rate, charge at home overnight for 1.7 cents per kwh, so about $1.10 to go from 0% to 100%.

@sosaithi @GuyDealership Doesn't exist but a couple get close-ish. Here's a list of the cheapest ones...

@PSav14 @GuyDealership I have a Bolt EUV that I absolutely love. 2 caveats: you really need to be able to charge at home and it's not a car I recommend for longer distance trips (over about 250-300 miles).

@marshal @ChuckBuc2 Also, if an actual winter is important to you, I'd actually recommend Detroit. Specifically the suburb of Rochester and the surrounding. Top schools and amazing golf. See Indianwood and Wyndgate.

[Mary Franks @mmoynes]

@marshal @ChuckBuc2 As a former northern girl, I wouldn't consider Atlanta to have four seasons. Other than that, highly agree with the recommendation. I don't find the summers to be that bad. Stick to the burbs north of the perimeter.

@MikeSyl36625988 1st CPA firm that I worked for didn't cover it. He didn't want CPAs working for him. 2nd CPA firm wouldn't for my department because the CPA wasn't required for the job. All other CPA firms have paid for everything.

[Mary Franks @mmoynes]

@tax_birdie I had one a few years ago. 24 months with a 20 mile radius from all offices (there were 3 of them). Never again. It was very much enforceable at the time (in GA) and still is unless something has changed recently.

[Mary Franks @mmoynes]

@adammarkowitzEA Spent 14 years in PA before defecting to the dark side. Handled maybe half a dozen or so audits. All 1040 w/ Sch C or E.

[Mary Franks @mmoynes]

@AtlantaTax @GlenBirnbaum There is locality pay added on to that. In the metro Atlanta area as a 1st year GS-12, I'm just north of $83k. Still significantly less than what I made in PA but it's also significantly less work, less hours, less stress, and better benefits so I'm trying to stick it out.

@amyleerosen Catching up on everything else that *hasn't* gotten done lol

@DipierroAnthony Yup... I don't know if that's actually going to be useful information but I'm going to be tracking it over my next few phone calls.

[Mary Franks @mmoynes]

@DipierroAnthony *15-30 minute

[Mary Franks @mmoynes]

@DipierroAnthony Was listening to a CPA Academy webinar this morning and this little tidbit was in the Q&A: They're operating 15-30 rolling blackouts of the phone system when they reach capacity. Some users are having success waiting 15 min and trying call again.
