[vpFREE] FYI: Getting tax info from IRS

 

One of the reasons I never make the April 15th filing date is I want to
make sure that my 1099s & W-2s match what the IRS has so I wait till they get
their run (used to be around Sep, this yr it was Jun) & have them print
out copies for me. Usually every yr, I have at least one item that IRS
doesn't have (I include it anyway) but sometimes there's one that I didn't have.
Like last yr, IRS had 4 W-2s from Peppermill that all were $20 or less. I
asked IRS if I should include it because these were obvious errors by
Peppermill (probably left off 2 decimals when typing it). They said to include it
to avoid any flags.

Anyway, I learned that IRS has a system to obtain forms which is accessed
online or phone call.

1. Online:
a. _www.irs.gov_ (http://www.irs.gov)
b. Click on ORDER A TAX RETURN or ACCOUNT TRANSCRIPT

2. Call 800-908-9946 & follow prompts

3. Mail - IRS form 4506-T or from 4506-T-EZ (Request for Transcript of
Tax Return)

[vpFREE] Re: Multiple progressive machines

 

Same as any other gamble/investment. If you're providing 100% of the stake and the bet size is less than the stake times the edge divided by the variance then it's game on, otherwise no dice. If you can get someone else to do the staking, you can afford to be much more agressive, depending on what happens if you lose the stake.

At a single hand machine, the strategy is obvious, sit down when the jackpot is high and play until it hits. In addition, it's clear how meter rise affects the expected return, especially if you can take the entire bank.
