Can someone please help me out here?
I just realized I missed a payment on my loan—specifically the installment from February. Can I still pay it now and have it count as if I'd actually made it on time? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
It’s a payroll deduction loan, so it needs to be tied to my direct deposit. Is that even possible at this stage?

Can someone run the numbers for me on gross II for sole proprietors who just pay contributions based on a fixed base? I don't have a traditional salary—just the mandatory contributions—so I need to figure out what my gross II looks like relative to that base. Thanks.

Can someone please explain what "de minimis" grants actually are? I'm looking at a job application right now and I have to fill out this Statement of De Minimis Funding form.

Just doing a quick double-check for this year... If we're talking about paying out those vocational training measures—you know, the fifty-fifty split—does the payment from the U.S. Department of Labor go straight into the contractor's account? Seems like it does to me, but I need a confirmation.

Would this look right?
5.213x12=62.556

62.556:2088(total fund hours)= $10.00

29.96x630 hours=$6292 mentor compensation

Can someone please run these numbers for me? The mentor's compensation is calculated by taking the average hourly rate from the gross base salary (annualized) and multiplying it by the total hours the trainee needs to complete per the curriculum. For this school year, we're looking at 630 hours.
The gross base salary for a small business owner is determined according to the federal guidelines for social security contribution bases, which is $1738

If anyone actually knows how to do this...🙂

So, I’ve got a question about my tax refund after filing my annual return.
I was looking for a direct transfer to my checking account.
It’s been over a month—nearly two, actually—and absolutely nothing. When I call them up, they claim the transfer was rejected because of an outstanding debt (about $1,700$28). No notice, no heads-up, nothing. Fine, I went ahead and set up a payment from the refund amount toward the debt about ten days ago—maybe a little less. Today I check my statement, and the debt is still sitting there, and the money (for my subscription) hasn't moved either. ;(
Has anyone else dealt with this mess? Why on earth does it take them this long to fix their own errors?

I’m trying to log our hours for Sunday, December 31st—even though we don't normally work Sundays. When registering business hours, there’s an option for EXCEPTIONAL HOURS, right? I entered the date and time, checked the box, but now the SAVE button is grayed out and unclickable. Now I'm freaking out—did I mess this up? I've called the IRS and sent an email, but obviously, I'm getting zero response. Can anyone actually help me out here?
