So yesterday being payday, I had my allowance and it was burning a hole in my account and I had a list of items ready to be purchased.......

Then I get an email that puts a halt to everything, Uncle Sam wants my money.

SCREEEEEEECH goes my journey further into the RC world for a while.

I did, fortunately, purchase Liftoff before the email was received, so all is not lost!

Anyone else here on Liftoff I can add to my friends list?
 
I was worried they were taking out too little, but I wound up owing the fed $7 and the state $12. Came out about right.
 
We made the mistake of listening to a guy in the fern that handled my wifes 403 account and didn't set enough back for taxes from a 403 cashout. Put us over 1K in the hole.
 
What a mess, ours is a joke here in the UK but atleast it's paid weekly & done & dusted. Unless you are self employed.
 
I used to pay serious money to a professional firm to handle all that B.S. for me when I was self employed.
It was enough to handle managing a company, employees, inventory, products, customers, etc, etc
without having to worry about any financial aspects biting me in the ass because I hadn't thought of
whatever scenario which might cause me to tailspin ... lol ... money well spent imho ;)
 
Well, it's certainly a lesson learned for the future.

On a positive note, I got out to the park and fought the wind with my wee Cx-30 for a bit for some LOS flying and was amazed how muscle memory from the sims kicked in and I was able to get some turns in.Still need some serious work on height and throttle management.

Video to follow.
 
I agree and made the incorrect statement, we do owe the tax man but I was behind on my car loan and didn't realize it. That email was a "call me asap." Combine those two and I'm grounded for a bit.

I SERIOUSLY doubt that the email came from the IRS - they do not send unsolicited emails

Agreed .... That's not far from those scams where they say "There's been a problem detected with your banking account(s),
please enter your information here for your security and account validation" ... then some poor schmuck does so and gets their account cleaned out :eek:
