After Hour Trading Before Ex-Dividend Date
Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:31:26 +0000

i believe the x-dividend date is calander determined so if you sell after hours on the day before the x-date you lose the dividend. if you buy early on the x-date you will not get the dividend. the of record date governs and that ignores the time of the trade. i have no idea how the exchanges handle time zones but suspect they use the actual trade date calculated in the local time of the exchange.

State ID for Schedule B
Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:07:32 +0000

I am doing my 2009 taxes with TurboTax Home & Business. Checking my entries at the end of the Federal questions, it asked me to check the following:

"Schedule B -- Form 1099-INT ([investment company]): State ID for Box 8 in which the interest was earned should be entered for [investment company]. If mroe than one state, see Help."

This confused me to no end as I looked all over for the State ID. I wish the software would have a pull down for all of the state and I could just select the ID. Searching for "State ID" in the TurboTax software got me "The search phrase you entered could not be found."

Searching online provide virtually no answer. One of the unaccepted answer on this "Tax exempt interest - Federal only, not state?" came real close.

Later, learned that I could click the "Help Center" button on TurboTax to the real answer, which is:

"Enter the 2-letter postal abbreviation of the state in which the interest was earned."

Why couldn't they just say that in the first place? Why use a cryptic language like "State ID" when they could just say 2-letter postal abbreviation?

Halloween Fest Outside Our Hotel Room

Maybe you can start a movement in France, like these "take back the Halloween" guys . . . Maybe have it under the Eiffel Tower. Or outside the Louvre Museum. That would be motivation for my family to show up. :-)
