I bought federal only edition yesterday on Amazon for 17.50. Is there anyway I can upgrade to today's price of federal + state. Thanks.

This one is new. I too had received the $50 statement credit back in July but today I logged in to my BOA account after seeing whodidntante's post and saw the offer again...

Thanks a lot! My question is: What if I make 65k ST gains next year? Will I be able to use my 65k carry over ST to offer this capital gain next year OR will I be able to use 3k only? Choosing to make a STCG implies you have control, so can choose to avoid it. Why would you want to avoid a STCG? For ...

You have posted here and have been thinking about it, which means you want to pay it off and be done with it. Just pay off that money and work on rebuilding that EF. I have paid of my loan last week (around 50k balance) and feel very happy about it. It saves me around $1200 and I am not sure I will ...

You can use the full loss ONLY in the year recognized. Do you have $25K in gains you need to offset? ...maybe from selling high to rebalance? ...from selling individual stock shares? If any of the loss carries over, it's used at $3K/yr. See second quoted text here: https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/...

I don't have any gains yet. All I have is a realized balance total of 65k in ST losses... Are the losses realized or unrealized? You have no positions with unrealized gains at all now? What months did all the trades take place? 40k from last year were during Feb and March of 2019 (shares of a pharm...

I've checked with grabiner on the wording and he agrees that my understsand of the IRS netting rules, indirectly linked to above, is more complete.

So my question is - if I buy and sell stocks in 2021 and make 65k in ST capital gains, will it offset the ST loss and my resultant capital gains tax will be 0 (and no carry forward balance of losses/gains)? Assuming no 2020 capital gains, $3k of your 2019 capital loss carryforward will offset $3k o...

I had 43k short term capital loss last year (2019) and have $25k short term capital loss this year (2020). Used 3k ST loss for 2019 tax deduction. So, I assume 43k - 3k + 25k = 65k will be carried over to next year. I know I will be able to use 3k every year to offset my tax income using this ST los...

Thanks BogleTaxPro.. This is good info. Thanks for the details and links.. I pay arounf $125 - $150 every year to file my taxes.

Update: Chase never lets you down when respecting account opening bonuses. They let me down.

Update:

I have received my bonus of $1000 last week. They deposited the bonus on the 93rd day of account opening and exactly 90th day from the day I deposited 75k. Chase never lets you down when respecting account opening bonuses. Thanks everyone for sharing their experiences before.

Hi Kevin, As VMSXX yield has been dropping daily, today I have switched to VWSTX (Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund) with yield around 1.86%. Do you think this is a good fund from safety point of view.

Kevin, The VMSXX 7 day SEC yield still shows as 2.78%. Is it dropping? I just transferred 75k from VUSXX to VMSXX. VMSXX yields better even after the yield goes down but I'm not sure if the risk is worth. Thanks. If you look at the "what's happening to muni MM fund yields" thread I link t...

My followup note is that Chase Bank paid my bonus on around day 91 after taking them up on the offer by upgrading the checking account.
