Ask the CPA to contact the IRS for you.

Says Frigidaire on the door. But I am thinking that at one point Frigidaire was owned by GM????

Most locations in the US have more trouble cooling a house than heating it. But for those living in the frozen north, the European style of dryer would be worth looking into.

Could be a defective thermostat, or a defective timer.
Google the specific problem for your specific dryer model. It may be something very common. If nothing turns up, call a repair person.

Not in the US. Most dryers are vented to the outdoors and that's where the moisture goes.

Cotton or cotton blend khakis are much more comfortable than jeans in the summer.
I always got them from Gap or Old Navy and they would last maybe 5 years.

Reply to Washer/Dryer brands that don't suck by DasBlueEyedDevil
I have been pleased with every Whirlpool appliance I have ever owned, including washers and dryers. I don't have the Cabrio version, not sure they even make that line anymore.
Look at Roper, also made by Whirlpool. A slightly more budget line.
Whirlpool also makes Maytag now.

I think you are imagining this. You don't even know that other people use a dishwasher.
I haven't used cascade in years but my sister did, and I never noticed anything.
I use Finish tabs.

Then you should switch detergent or get a better dishwasher.

I disagree. I put my nonstick skillets in the dishwasher routinely and they are fine.

Reply to comment by Fish-Weekly in Trying to dispense an inheritace and a company is making it difficult. how can we resolve this? by Jack_of_Spades
I was not aware of that. But Ameritrade is going to require some kind of legal document to handle it. It's possible there are no contingent beneficiaries and the will leaves everything to the person who was originally the beneficiary, and then the beneficiary will have to disclaim part of the estate. Seems a convoluted process for no real reason.
OP needs to get the facts about taxes on this account, which he seems to think must be paid in one year.

The beneficiary designation keeps the account out of the estate. It's not a process, like you can disclaim something in a will

Exactly.
If your mother is named beneficiary nothing else matters. You went about this in the wrong way. Only your grandfather could have changed the beneficiary on his account.
The money will be moved to your mother's beneficiary account nowhere else. She has up to 10 years to withdraw all of it.

Reply to Where do you keep important documents? by GSDBUZZ
If you keep them in a safe or lockbox make sure your executor and at least 2 other people know where the combination and keys are. Make duplicate keys and spread them around to different people.
My ex forgot the combination to his gun safe and it was just a fluke that someone else had written it down.

I have a local bank checking account so I can get cash occasionally. My main checking and savings are at an online bank (Capital One.). My investments are at Vanguard.

I can testify that it can shatter into a zillion sharp pieces if dropped onto a tile floor. I don't believe anything else would break it.

Do you have a source to verify that?
I doubt that it was even the case, and definitely is not the case. The material has to be approved for direct food contact by the FDA.

Can you get enough out of the 350Z to pay off the loan?
At least with a new loan you could get a better interest rate. And also look for something inexpensive. You don't need a truck. You need practical wheels to get from point A to point B. Look for a small 4 door car.

Reply to comment by turtleneck360 in Just found out estranged brother passed away. How do I take care of his estate? by turtleneck360
This is correct. Just be very careful with any collection agency what is going on. They are crooks
You will need a bunch of death certificates, at least 5 or 6.
You have to file for probate, and the court appoints an administrator.

Someone will have to file with probate court in his county of residence, to be appointed administrator of the estate. Then that person is responsible for paying any bills out of the assets of the estate, if there are any. The rest of the estate has to be disbursed according to the laws of the estate where he lived.
Now in reality, if he has basically no money, his roommate will probably give his stuff to whoever shows up.
You can call the investigator and get the address, or maybe contact info for someone local.

Reply to What to do with a car left in driveway by parent that passed. by MyUniqUserName
I am pretty sure your FIL will have to get the title assigned to him and then he will transfer the car to you. BUT he can possibly do this by giving you a power of attorney to deal with this issue.
You may have to send some documents back and forth so they can be notarized but it can be done. I am sure you will need a death certificate for your MIL.
This is worth a modest legal fee to get it done right, if for no other reason than to get it out of your driveway.
