But first they are probably printed out on paper, haha.

There were a few quotations of "we need to automated this", from the early 80s. :/

Verizon fios

I’ve been there many times. It’s obviously still record storage, but the big operation is the data centers down there.

They used to use the flooded portions of the mine to assist on cooling the systems but they’ve actually raised the entire temperature of the water and mountain lol

I've had great service from FiOS. It's consistent and fast. When they raised my rate I called and asked for my old rate and they put it back too.

I've had a lot of success calling up Comcast and telling them to end my service because I'm going to switch to Verizon to save money. Suddenly the Comcast people come up with another "special promotional offer," and I say "well... okaaaayyyy."

“Welcome! You’ve got mail!”

Well, if you aren’t feeling Verizon either. I might have an aol 4.0 cd lying around somewhere.

Soooo Verizon?

If you've ever seen a government computer system, coded by some "money-saving" low-bid contractor, doing it by hand is probably faster. At least you don't need to physically store all of the papers...

If you have access to the Active & Fit direct program through your health insurance, you can get a discount on your Ascend membership. It is one of their "premium" tier gyms, I believe it was $35/month, which is a solid deal if you go regularly!

Kudos to you for being the first person in the history of Reddit to do this!

You are right, this is for the city.

Wrong. There’e more than one type of income tax. IRS only applied to Federal tax.

I'm not opposed to that, but it still requires municipality-level management of some kind

Me too, some of my company's physical media gets retained there. They have a bunch of old celluloid prints from ancient movies they store there because it's the ultimate in stable environments.

I think the had a fire a bit ago though.

Broke my arm riding down that hill on my bike

I’ve actually been there. It’s a cool facility.

It's so straightforward that local tax should just be a part of PA-40 income tax return.

Essential government services (especially not those services with access to citizens' most private financial data and the greatest ability to make citizens' lives hell) should not just be outsourced to the lowest bidder.

I'm still more afraid of Rialto.

It's silly because for probably 95% of people they already have all the info they need. It would be nice if they could only reach out to those who actually need to submit for whatever complicated reason, which would reduce confusion for everyone else. But I think that would require the state transmitting tax info back down to the municipal level, which would be pretty complicated. Everyone complains about JTS but honestly I think it's relatively straightforward to deal with them in most cases.

The city is 3%, 1 to the city and 2 to the schools district.

Moving here from another state that does not bother with local tax reconciliation, I was so confused why I had to report my income to a THIRD entity. It is so dumb.
