Unexpectedly sold a large parcel of raw land end of 2024. Improvements were done over the years such as land clearing, pond up keep, gravel etc however many of these items were either under the table, cash or not documented. Is there any way to still claim these to reduce capital gain?

Just got my offer accepted for a house in San Jose. Shopping for interest rate now:

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Very basic question, newbie here: how much does EY contribute to a 401k?

Hello Autodeskers,
I wanted to understand how RSUs work in your favour? I mean if I am getting rsus amounting to 40% of my package, and another company is matching the package with all fixed, should I still choose Autodesk package? How about selling them and taxation? Is it really beneficial or risky?

For background checks... who do you guys use and would you be willing to share monthly membership fee/cost per check? I currently use HireRight and have been happy overall... but I don't feel that it's very competitive at $48/check. Thanks in advance!

Instead of targeting a high downpayment for a house, my wife and I are planning to look for a house once we hit HHI >= $250K. We think this will be mid next year. Reason being is want to target a house in the $700K range. Thoughts on the approach?

Why would you ever want to rollover your 401K into an IRA? It seems like doing so would essentially prevent you from successfully being able to do a IRA to Backdoor Roth IRA conversion due to the pro-rata rule. Am I missing something? Wouldn’t you always want to just rollover your old 401Ks to your new 401K?

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.

Hi, this is mostly a question for account management and strategists. I’ve been in advertising for a while, and am back in this market after working in others. The main thing I’m noticing that is driving me bonkers is the lack of client talent here. Across the portfolio I oversee it is very rare to get a client that understands how to brief an agency partner (creative or media or pr); there is limited capacity to really focus on objectives other than tactical KPIs.
Is this common/any advice?

Novice question: if I sell my house and then rent for a year will I be taxed on my proceeds from my house sale as a capital gain? Do I need to reinvest them by a certain amount of time?

Hi everyone, not sure if I have any options but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask. I signed a lease in June for $2050 when I was under the impression it wouldn’t get lower than that. The same apartment is now down $1650 and has been dropping. this is super frustrating since it’s such a dramatic drop. It’s almost more cost effective to break the lease for $4k in order to save $4500 over 12 months - $500 in total savings + cheaper if I renew next year. Do I have any negotiation power? Pls help/advise
