If I unlock my amazon fire stick will that make it so I no longer have to log onto a website and enter a code for certain apps?
Trying to eliminate cable and I have a firestick. Just weary of getting rid of it before I know I can get the shows I want to see. Plenty of apps to get live tv. But they all seem to want me to log onto their website and enter a code. If I unlock the firestick will this change how that goes?
2 AnswersOther - Electronics3 years agoCan anyone tell me if I can still deduct my alimony in MA?
My divorce was finalized in October 2017. I'm seeing at end of this year that alimony tax law has changed. Am I only going to be allowed to deduct it on my 2017 tax return then going forward I am unable to? Or since my divorce was finalized before this new law goes into effect am I going to still be able to deduct it?
4 AnswersUnited States3 years agoConsidering I do not own a home how do I know if charitable donations I made are even worth trying to report on taxes?
I have a donation of $25 I made to American Cancer Society, then two others were to peoples Go Fund Me pages. I'm pretty sure those won't qualify. But will the $25 to ACS get me anything or is my income and non home owner status make it not even worth it.
11 AnswersUnited States3 years agoHow can I repair an uneveness in the footbed of a pair of boots?
Got a new pair of surplus boots. But I notice the right one has a bit of a divot in the footbed. I can notice it wearing thin socks. I even tried putting insoles in but they take the form of the slight defect. What could I possibly attach to the footbed to make up the space.It kind of drives me crazy.
3 AnswersFashion & Accessories3 years agoHow do I stop my cat from urinating on the rug?
Suddenly she decides to start doing this. Will still poop in the box though. I take her to vet. They give a antibiotic because of a possible infection in the body. Not a UTI or anything. I have been putting puppy training pads on the rug to protect the spot(maybe that is training her it's ok) But I bought enzymatic cleaner foam. Sprayed a large area where she had been going at. Put a pad over it. All day no issues. I think she even went in the box once. Then just now, back at it on the pads. I put litter box on the spot where she is going based on another tip. Then move it back where I want it if she starts to behave properly again.
3 AnswersCats4 years agoWhy is my cat suddenly urinating outside of her litter box?
I keep it clean and lately she has been peeing on the rug outside the box. Had to throw down a piece of cardboard and never fails it always is wet. She has gone once in the box since last cleaned. She'll poop in there. Wondering if it is because she chose to go where she has to step in. I'm going to scoop it more often to see if any change. But the smell is killing me since she decided to go on the rug. Have to get some odor eliminator.
2 AnswersCats4 years agoWhy wont my printer print Microsoft documents? It prints PDFs just fine, but when it comes to Microsoft it spits out blank pages.?
Printer has ink in it and the drivers were just updated. I have Windows 10 also. Just annoying how I have to actually write up stuff as an email then save it to a PDF then it will print, otherwise it's just comes out as a blank page.
4 AnswersPrinters4 years agoCan I put insurance coverage paid for my wife as alimony paid? We are separated.?
I'm told I can use fact I pay for her insurance still and she doesn't live here as alimony payments on my taxes. Just want to cover myself as a friend looked at my papers and says I can do this.
I take the family rate I'm paying and subtract it from the single plan I could have. Then multiple that total by 52 weeks I paid for her. Then that is my alimony pay. We haven't gone to court or anything either so just a bit leery of this being legit?
4 AnswersUnited States4 years agoWhat is my best bet on filing taxes when I am going to be divorced?
The going to be ex has not lived here in several months. We used to just split the taxes but I don't see that as fair at all anymore since she is on her own and I am on my own. It seems head of household you have to have a dependent. I live by myself. I just don't want to end up owing nor do I prefer to do jointly and split it with her. She hardly works and it would almost be like giving her money. And she suddenly wants to go after alimony from me so things haven't been on greatest of terms.
19 AnswersUnited States4 years agoWhy am I getting no relief from hemorrhoid treatments?
Had one a long time ago and it went away with cream. This time around I must have a couple. It will bleed on occasion to if going to bathroom is rough. But it's unbearable to sit at times. I've used ointment and witch hazel liquid on the area as I saw that was a treatment. Still hurts despite using anything when they say it's supposed to help with the discomfort. Haven't had time to go to a doctor plus would my primary be able to do anything with those if it requires a procedure? Just need these things to go away. It's been too long.

1 AnswerOther - Auto Racing5 years agoWhere can I find smaller energy saving lightbulbs?
The ones that I have won't fit in some lamps that have a shade over them that fits a certain way. I almost have to leave it somewhat apart to accommodate the bulb and it makes the lamp shade look crooked. Also I have some other lamps where it seems the energy saving bulbs aren't long enough to fit all the way into the socket. Then they just don't work when you turn the light on.
1 AnswerDecorating & Remodeling5 years agoAnyone had issues with lifeproof cases?
Had mine over a year and the button for the touch id almost seems like it is stuck to the case. You can see little bubbles. I had a friend tell me they took there phone out of the case and it basically stayed stuck to the phone. Also it seems the charger port door is not as snug as it once was. And the rubber near it seems like it is wearing from the action of opening and closing that port. I have not taken the phone out of the case in a year. I contacted Lifeproof to see what they had to say.

1 AnswerSoftware5 years agoWhen filing taxes is it possible to find who gets what if you are married?
Can a tax consultant figure what each person is entitled to. I am going to be getting divorced but we are filing together still obviously for our own benefit. We want to have it so we each get what is rightfully ours. Is there a way to find out how much of the return is due to my job and how much is due to hers? Or can I really only just split it with her.
10 AnswersUnited States5 years agoWhat are the reasons I would owe on taxes?
I am married but am soon going to be divorced. So more than likely next tax season I will still be filing together with my going to be ex. Then the following one will definitely have me as single. But the tax preparer tried doing it as single and married to see our best outcome. She said I would owe over $1000 if we did it separately. Why is this?
