Category: Homefront, Society|Comments Off on Tax Day now July 15: Treasury, IRS extend filing deadline and federal tax payments regardless of amount owed
WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced today that the federal income tax filing due date is automatically extended from April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020.
Taxpayers can also defer federal income tax payments due on April 15, 2020, to July 15, 2020, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed. This deferment applies to all taxpayers, including individuals, trusts and estates, corporations and other non-corporate tax filers as well as those who pay self-employment tax.
Taxpayers do not need to file any additional forms or call the IRS to qualify for this automatic federal tax filing and payment relief. Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the July 15 deadline, can request a filing extension by filing Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software or using the Free File link on IRS.gov. Businesses who need additional time must file Form 7004.
The IRS urges taxpayers who are due a refund to file as soon as possible. Most tax refunds are still being issued within 21 days.
“Even with the filing deadline extended, we urge taxpayers who are owed refunds to file as soon as possible and file electronically,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “Filing electronically with direct deposit is the quickest way to get refunds. Although we are curtailing some operations during this period, the IRS is continuing with mission-critical operations to support the nation, and that includes accepting tax returns and sending refunds. As a federal agency vital to the overall operations of our country, we ask for your personal support, your understanding – and your patience. I’m incredibly proud of our employees as we navigate through numerous different challenges in this very rapidly changing environment.”
The IRS will continue to monitor issues related to the COVID-19 virus, and updated information will be posted on a special coronavirus page on IRS.gov.
This announcement comes following the President’s emergency declaration last week pursuant to the Stafford Act. The Stafford Act is a federal law designed to bring an orderly and systematic means of federal natural disaster and emergency assistance for state and local governments in carrying out their responsibilities to aid citizens. It was enacted in 1988.
Treasury and IRS will issue additional guidance as needed and continue working with Congress, on a bipartisan basis, on legislation to provide further relief to the American people.

Dr. Lee Gross, owner of Epiphany Health and president of Docs 4 Patient Care Foundation, told The Daily Signal.
“COVID-19 is essentially a brand new virus,” Gross said. “So we have had to use technology that wasn’t meant for it to fight coronavirus. We’re building a parachute on the way down.”

"If this were a criminal trial in an ordinary court, and Mr. Schiff had done what he just did on the floor here and start talking about crimes of bribery and extortion that were not in the indictment, it would have been an automatic mistral.
From the White House Counsel, following Adam Schiff’s testimony mentioning crimes of bribery and extortion that were not in the indictment:
“If this were a criminal trial in an ordinary court, and Mr. Schiff had done what he just did on the floor here and start talking about crimes of bribery and extortion that were not in the indictment, it would have been an automatic mistrial.

It took only two hours today on January 25, 2020 for the President’s legal team to dismantle an impeachment effort that had been three years in the making.
Great job, guys! Trump wins again, and we’re still not tired of winning!
Since my mother was found bludgeoned to death and robbed of over $4,000 while under the care of Visiting Angels, I have to agree that Visiting Angels are not angels at all.
This company has as great name, but a dark record.
Beware of using Visiting Angels to care for your loved ones.

Without presenting evidence or naming an actual crime, they have done it: Democrats have voted to impeach the President of the United States of America.
May God have mercy on our Country when 216 Democrat members of Congress can overturn the will of 63 million Citizen voters.
Today is another day that will be remembered in infamy.
Category: Homefront|Comments Off on Tile and Grout: How Not To Do It To Yourself when you Do It Yourself
You can learn a lot by doing things wrong the first time.
Lessons learned when installing/refinishing tile flooring and walls:
Using a Dremel tool (Model 400 with ceramic tile accessory) is expensive, loud and slow. A DAP grout saw blade is cheap, quiet, fast and very effective. When it is elegance versus brutality, brutality usually wins.
Mixing un-sanded grout before watching (one of many) You-Tube videos to learn ‘how thick’ the grout needs to be prior to application results in re-work. You-Tube is your friend for all kinds of DIY projects. Follow the mixing directions. The ending grout blend consistency should be like a paste that falls from your trowel after three shakes.
Use a grout float and a margin float in corners to apply with pressure at 45 degree angle to the tile lines.
Letting newly-applied grout dry and cure without sponging off the excess within an hour or so is a preview of Dante’s Inferno or like Sisyphus rolling a rock up a hill. Not fun.
Muriatic acid (used for pools, available at Home Depot and swimming pool supply stores) eats grout, stinks like Hell and saves a lot of floor scraping / grout sawing. Used as a clean-up solvent applied with a sponge (see #3 above) it’s a good thing to know about in case you are like me and skip a few installation instructions.
Start new flooring in the center with a chalk line for the first alignment tile. Use polymer spacers to keep the rest of the project square. Rent a water-cooled tile saw to rim the edge pieces at the perimeter.
Do not underestimate the value of a waterproofing grout sealer. I hope to find such a formula that will prevent me from ever having to do this again.
