54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment
>The 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment that saw extensive service in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The unit was the second African-American regiment, following the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry Regiment, organized in the northern states during the Civil War. Authorized by the Emancipation Proclamation, the regiment consisted of African-American enlisted men commanded by white officers. The unit began recruiting in February 1863 and trained at Camp Meigs on the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts.

"Prominent abolitionists were active in recruitment efforts, including Frederick Douglass, whose two sons were among the first to enlist."

Are you now suggesting the IRS was unaware that 19 states issued refund checks and that they just recently found out? Nobody with two brain cells to rub together followed the news and thought “that’s a potential problem”
Again, they are just announcing this now, after enough time has passed for people to have actually filed. This is a farce

Plumbing is not a hard skill to learn. You can DIY if you invest a little time learning some stuff.

Which they? The IRS didn’t send out the checks, so they didn’t announce it. Massachusetts did, and I think it’s been on their web site for some time now, but the only weight that has is to show that people who relied on it were acting in good faith.
The IRS doesn’t have a team of tax lawyers sitting around with nothing to do except read press releases from states. They might have a team that reads changes to state tax laws, but this wasn’t a change to Massachusetts tax law.

I noticed. I drove an hour on 495 and they had cars pulled over everywhere.

They literally could have warned us about this when they announced the checks were going out. They waited until some people had actually filed to tell us to wait, without so much as offering to extend the deadline, a necessary things since now more people will be filing closer to the deadline.
They’ve gone about this all wrong from the very beginning so I’m not inclined to feel sympathetic for them as an organization.

SALT is capped at 10K. Mortgage interest has a different set of limits entirely. Plus there’s still charitable deductions and conceivably medical deductions.

There are 19 states with similar issues. How many tax attorneys do you think the IRS has available to draft such rulings? How much time do you think it takes for a single tax attorney to become familiar with a single state’s special provision, study it in the context of relevant federal law, draft a ruling, get it reviewed by some number of other tax attorneys, corrected, reviewed again, and then published? All while handling whatever other caseload they have?

Contact corporate and the local board of health. These are serious problems.
I’ve had CVS give me a whole unopened bottle of 100+ pills when I was supposed to get 30. They’ve also failed to mix liquid medication. There is no room for them to be lax about things like this.

Except nowadays there are not very many independent local pharmacies left anywhere.

Generally speaking, you can deduct home mortgage interest on the first $750,000 ($375,000 if married filing separately) of indebtedness, which alone can be way more than the standard deduction. The capped SALT deduction only adds to this potentially gigantic itemized deduction. Does that make sense? SALT alone won’t make itemized deductions worth it; it’s SALT plus other deductions, mostly the mortgage-interest deduction.

CVS (and other big brand retail pharmacies) are pretty well known for being very short staffed, and paying under trained employees very poorly to handle your medication. Generally, they suck, but they get your business by brand recognition and being open longer hours. You will have much better service if you can find a local independent pharmacy, as they often have their pharmacists actually on site. Since everything is insurance anyway, the cost of your prescriptions shouldn’t really change, but it is more expensive and less convenient to try shipping while there.

I don’t. The point is, in MA, they can’t go blaming boogeyman republicans anymore. It’s 100000% on them.

Please file complaints with the State Board of Pharmacy every single time you have any bad issue at a pharmacy. The chains are horrible to work for and are getting worse. Mistakes and terrible mistakes are happening. The Boards of Pharmacy need to do their jobs. You also should consider filing a lawsuit whenever a mistake happens. These chains only care about money not employee or patient welfare. Boards of Pharmacy complaints, lawsuits, and going to the press should be done whenever the situation warrants it. I am a former CVS pharmacist.
