Mein herzliches Beileid! Ich bin Amerikaner in DE (inzwischen sogar Staatsbürger) und das mit dem IRS ist echt nervig. Ich hatte mehr als 10 Jahre nichts eingereicht bevor ich wieder angefangen habe zu filen.

Damals gab es eine Art Begnadigungsprgramm, wo man die letzte drei Jahre einreichen soll (egal wie lange es gewesen ist) und dann war es in Ordnung. Man war dann aber wieder drin im System und muss theoretisch jedes Jahr brav weiter machen.

Wenn du nicht mehr als 100.000$ im Jahr verdienst, musst du dort auch keine Steuern zahlen. Nur für den Steuerberater Nuss man bezahlen, bei mir ist das etwa 300€ im Jahr.

Ob du anfangen sollst, kann ich dir nicht sagen. Die IRS ist bekanntlich unterbesetzt und unterfinanziert. Ob die dir wirklich hinterherkommen? Es könnte später aber etwas kompliziert werden, zum Beispiel wenn du eine Wohnung besitzt und die verkaufen willst.

Taxes For Expats ist ein guter Anfang. Solltest du filen, kannst du es mit denen Online machen. Meine Steuererklärung ist etwas komplizierter und benutze deshalb eine private Service. Aber ich kenne viele die mit TFE GT klar kommen. Die könnten eventuell deine Fragen beantworten bevor du anfängst. Falls du dich interessierst, kann ich dir gerne den Kontakt von meinem Berater schicken. Er lebt in Hamburg und macht genau solche Fällen wie wir.

It works the same way in Germany. If you're playing music in essentially any venue, even just on the radio, you pay a royalties fee. For places that do it everyday there is usually a flat yearly fee. At least here, a good chunk of that money does indeed fund other cultural endeavors.

Lustig, dass die beiden Parteien bei dem Wort "Nazi" sich angesprochen fühlen.

Some stretches do have limits. But even where there are no speed limits there are suggested maximum limits. If you're over that limit and have an accident (that normally might not be deemed your fault) you're more likely to be held liable.

I still love my fairphone 3+. Had it for several years and have yet to need to do any repair or replacement. Pleasantly surprised and impressed! I also love that I can easily put a different OS on the phone (currently using e/os).

I have a who is a screen actor and they often work for very little pay. Even a recurring character on a hit TV show might not even be making enough to afford health insurance.

This friend recently landed a small but important role in a movie that gained somewhat of a "cult" status after its release. The money he makes from selfies and autographs at conventions is sometimes the only money he earns that month. I can see why it disappoints fans, but I can also understand these actors who are just trying to stay afloat. Especially the Trek actors who often don't seem to get much other work.

What about the newly conceived thorium reactors that use the nuclear "waste" (spent fuel) to create energy? I think nuclear as we know it might be out of date,but that doesn't mean the technology can'tcontinued to develop in new and better ways.

I've had a Fairphone for a couple years now, didn't realize its Ubuntu ready? How if the Ubuntu smartphone OS?

As much as I loved SDV when I played through it, I don't know if I could start another run despite the new content. Too much lol

Hey Folks!

I've been living abroad for over half my life in a country where tipping is not the norm. At most you would round up. 19€ bill? Here's a 20, keep this change.

Going to the US soon to visit family and the whole idea of tipping makes me nervous. It seems there's a lot of discussion about getting rid of tipping, but I don't know how much has changed in this regard.

The system seems ridiculously unfair, and that extra expense in a country where everything is already so expensive really makes a difference.

So will AITA if I don't tip? Is it really my personal responsibility to make sure my server is paid enough?

To be clear, I have no problem buying ebooks and do so quite often. But where I live its often hard to find ebooks in my preferred language without resorting to Am*zon, especially when it comes to the more obscure titles.

Now that Zlibrary is gone, where do people go for liberated ebooks?
