re: FreeTaxUSA experiences appreciated

I used it this year for this first time and will use it next year. I had to pay a little to file NC state taxes and i did buy the audit support. Even paying for that was half of what H&R block was using. I was able to import all of my data from H&R Block.

Been a Ford truck man all my life UNTIL I bought a new 2019 Lariat with the 5.0. Loved the truck. Best ride of any vehicle I’ve owned BUT the 10 speed transmission was a nightmare. Would give you a jolt like you’ve been rear ended. Brought to dealership and they reset adaptive learning on the computer. That didn’t fix the problem. Said they wanted to go into it. I decided to bail on it and traded it in on a Highlander. Didn’t want vehicle with transmission issues all over the Carfax. Ruined me on my opinion of Ford.
i had a similar experience with a 19' lariat. Had it serviced, then it started overheating and puking fluid. Would shift so hard you thought it dropped the dive shaft. I was afraid it was going to leave me on the side of the road. As much as I hate to admit, I traded it in on a Tacoma.

New W4 and 2024 Taxes
Posted by lsuCJ5 on 1/30/25 at 9:13 am
Anyone start their tax returns for 2024? Am i the only one who thinks the W4 is more complicated than ever? For the first time in my life, it seems that I will owe taxes. In the past I always paid in more received a refund. I know the goal is to breakeven but owing money will suck. How many people are going to owe tons more than I am is concerning.
re: Will Texas Gov Abbott take down Colony Ridge? If not, why not?

my dad lives near there and talks about it all the time. I didn't really believe him becasue he can tell a "story" at times, but it is real and it is eye opening to say the least. I don't know how a developer can cater to attracting illegals like he as.
re: Selling on FB Marketplace: Observations
Posted by lsuCJ5 on 1/17/25 at 3:09 pm
I've sold lot on marketplace, but man it comes with some headaches. For example, i had a car amplifier I was selling for $100. I finally sold it to the 39th person who messaged me about it. Most messages were "is it still available" or "$40 cash right now". Some high school kid showed up on time and i ended up selling it to him for $75 becuase I was tired of dealing with it and he was on time and did try to beat me down on price.

re: Did you have a step-parent growing up?
Posted by lsuCJ5 on 1/10/25 at 7:15 am
I had a stepdad and glad I did. I would not be the person I am today without him in my life at that age. He has changed tremendously not but am thankful he was the way he was when i was in grade school.

10/22. tons of accessories available. Mine is one of my favorite guns. The beak down model is pretty neat becasue you can store it in a backpack for camping, etc.
re: Getting a new truck
Posted by lsuCJ5 on 1/7/25 at 7:17 am
if you have the 5.0 with the 6 speed, keep it. That is the last good powertrain ford has put out in years. The new 10 speed scares me, i sold one with 72,000 miles becuase it was starting to have problems.
All of the new modern trucks have their issues. After owning both the ford 5.0 and gm 5.3, i'd go with the ford if you had to buy a new one.
