r/TurboTax•

I knew I had made excess contributions in 2025, and I thought I'd remediate that before year-end. I erred on the side of caution and withdrew more than the excess to date since the year was still going, and I figured the discontinuance of contributions might take some time to kick in. That amount is reflected in my 2025 1099 SA Code 2, and I entered in TurboTax, however, as I step through the interview, it still says that I have an excess contribution that matches the amount over-contributed prior to the withdrawal. Turbotax goes on to ask "Do you want to withdraw excess money from your HSA?" The way I see it, already withdrew the excess money last year. Is the issue that I was not supposed

Looking for some general advice here.

My manager called me somewhat out of the blue saying that the quality of my work was positively received by higher-ups in my department. He mentioned that he would like to offer me some development paths such as external training, mentorship, movement to other teams in the dept, or potentially a step onto a managerial track. I currently work on a HELOC-focused credit risk team, but was told I could transition into analogous roles in the credit card, mortgage, or other teams. The manager role on my team is currently filled, but teams dedicated to other products have openings in team-lead position (not officially managing, too few people for it to be con

I am considering switching over to Mac OS after a long time with Chrome OS devices, but I'll miss all of the Chrome-focused gestures.

Is there any way to add 3 finger swipes to navigate between tabs and 3 finger taps to close them outside of Chrome OS? I found something called Better Touch Tool for Macs, but am wondering if there's anything simpler.

Side note: Is there any way to access Discover Feed on the desktop browser?

r/Columbus•

My girlfriend and I are looking to move to Columbus from Pittsburgh in May and would appreciate any advice on neighborhoods or specific buildings to check out. We'll be making an exploratory trip over this weekend, and scheduled a few tours in buildings around Fifth by Northwest, Dennison Place/Weinland Park, Short North, and Uptown/River South.

Since we have never been to the city before, we'd appreciate any help, especially on things about the neighborhoods that aren't obvious from Google Maps/Street View in terms of walkability, presence of young people, crime (assuming these areas are mostly okay), and anything else we might be missing. We initially though Fifth by Northwest looked idea

Saw a general post about the Lucky Brand sale on Slickdeals and then found the Bonneville jacket from there. Use EXTRA50 combined with WELCOME1910 to get to $112. The latter code was found through some googling, and worked for me!

I tried to search around for some posts related to the jacket and didn't find a ton. If anyone has the jacket, please let me know your thoughts. Long time lurker, first post.

r/nova•

I am looking to move to NoVA around October, and am likely looking to be along the Silver Line, somewhere between/around Tysons Corner where one of my work offices is, and Farragut West in DC, where the other one is. I lean towards picking an area NoVA as I am moving from Pittsburgh, with a car, and it seems a little more car-friendly than DC proper.

I went to college in DC, but grew up in Brooklyn, so I am somewhat familiar with the city, but I was mostly in the college bubble. The idea of enjoying city life, along with the diversity and age of people pulls me into city proper, but I realize I'd probably be spending more for rent/parking, which seems especially absurd, since I'll likely b

r/tableau•

I am trying to create a worksheet that pulls from two data sources. I believe the data is aggregated in such a way that they shouldn't really be joined. I tried blending on the one field that they should definitely be aligned on (Customer Segment), and that is the row pill for the table I created. The column labels include balances, and (count of) accounts across segments (in rows), and vintages (in columns) below the balances and counts. Those two measures (balances and counts) are from one data source. I am then trying to add a third pair of columns from another data source with rate values (indirectly) related to those balances. The goal is to then multiply the values from the second and

r/Crouton•

I just got a Dell Chromebook 13. I know next to nothing about Linux, or command lines, but I've wanted to run Skype, PopcornTime, and and a few other programs that aren't Chrome OS friendly.

I followed Voltron00x's guide for installing XFCE 14.04 (http://www.voltron00x.com/?p=1091), and it seems to have went pretty smoothly. The desktop is up and running, but now I realize that I probably just don't have enough background on this to make it work.

As of now, I have no idea how to adjust volume, and after going back and forth between XFCE and Chrome OS a couple of times, I now have 4 cursors in XFCE. When I tried to install Skype, I found that there isn't a version for 14.04 on the official

r/chromeos•

Within the last month or so, my Chromebook's wifi has disabled on its own a few times, seemingly at random. When this happens, the button to toggle the wifi on/off disappears, and the only fix seems to be a restart.

I found a couple of threads that seem to discuss the same issue from a couple of years ago. Curiously, they also relate to Samsung Chromebooks, though an older models. Based on that, I guess it might be a hardwear fault. I read somewhere that it might be due to overheating, but I don't think it was ever warm when this happened. I would send it in for warranty service, but the coverage term is up.

Any info on CM12.1 update?

General Discussion

I've held off on updating to CM12.1 on my OPO since hearing about all the issues it brought with it. I was hoping that there would be another update soon that fix those bugs. Is there any indication that there will be any such update, or should we just wait until the 6.0 update, which I'm guessing won't be around for at least a good 6 months?

Play Icon in Tabs

General Discussion

I know there's a way to make the sound icon in tabs work as a mute toggle (using the chrome://flags menu), but there doesn't seem to be a way to make the play icon in tabs work correspondingly. Does anyone know anything about this?
