  1. I read this article on my phone this morning https://www.foxnews.com/media/parents-biggest-misconceptions-homeschooling
  2. Yes. That is not an exaggeration. At this time (April 2022) I am delighted to report that very recently we have received several envelopes from U.S. Government agencies that arrived within 2 or 3 months. That seems amazing now. I remember after DD began attending "Carolina" that for a year or 2, she would receive envelopes from schools inviting her to seminars or other activities or with information about their schools.
  3. Verizon and T-Mobile do not have 5G service in the USA at this time but both of them will add 5G service during 2022.
  4. DD was able to make it through her "Semester Abroad" program in Berlin with her (very) old Motorola Moto G4. In January she bought a Samsung 5G phone to replace it. She has continued on her Red Pocket Mobile (An MVNO provider that runs on the AT&T Netowrk in her case and is Prepaid. She had been with them running on AT&T and is still on AT&T with them). AT&T now has a much longer list of 5G phones that can run on their 5G Network.
  5. I suggested this Free Coursera MOOC somewhere on WTM a year or so ago. It is one of their most popular courses. I took it about 2 years ago. I forget the title but it was something like "Learning How to Learn". For me it was awesome. It isn't what the OP said she is looking for but might fill in some gaps from other courses.
  6. We live overseas and there is a big issue with mail sent via USPS that we do not receive or arrives here 1 or 2 years after being sent. I suggested to my DD that she sign up for everything and be ready to hit the "Delete Key" on her Keyboard with frequency, but, to have an open mind and look at each email.
  7. In general, I believe this student should attend the local school, for many different reasons. However, I am curious about his interest in OU. What interested him about OU? A Major or something else?
  8. Yes. Years ago, I watched a video about a College Consultant in the NYC area who does that.
  9. @ArcadiaThis was many years ago when DD was in pre-primary here. When we had more income. One of the men who worked there (I will leave off his exact job at that time in case he is still there) would fly up to Miami once a year to grade AP Exams. I think it was AP Exams or AP Essays. They paid him about $5 USD for each one that he graded? Something like what you wrote UC says they paid their temporary application processors.
  10. Please check and double check everything! IMO, if a 1098-T, or any other form, is in the name of the student, and, with their SSN, that goes onto their income tax return for that tax year. I don't believe it has anything to do with anyone else's tax return. Although the past few years I had access to the full-blown version of TurboTax, I didn't have that access for the 2021 tax returns and I did use TaxAct, which I had used for a number of years, which has something special for the FAFSA. TaxACT helped me with an error I made, with the 1098-T form on the 2020 return for my DD. On the 2020 return (I think it was ours and not the one for DD) I discovered awesome help on the TurboTax Forum and recommend getting a Free account on it so you can read some questions and answers and ask questions. If you need to pay for help, I suggest looking for an IRS "Enrolled Agent"
  11. @Grace HopperI suggest that when a person is ready to book that they book. Don't try to play games. Book when you are ready to book. I subscribe to the free email list from ScottsCheapFlights and I have Google Flights Fare Trackers for my DD for 5 different dates in May for her to come home. DW suggested to her that she book as soon as she pins down the date. Also, avoid the difficult travel dates which are Sundays, Mondays (worst case) and Tuesdays if a PCR exam will be required for the flight. Easiest days are Wednesdays and Thursdays and Fridays. And, I suggest that people buy their airline tickets directly from the airline involved. If one buys from an OTA they are not the customer of the airline and must go to the OTA for help if they need help. That can be very problematic.
  12. San Francisco is the last place in the USA I would want my daughter to go to, because of the crime and drugs and other things there. I read the news and know what goes on there. She has no interest and you have no interest so that should be a dead issue.
  13. @TapI have several comments for you: (1) File now for an Automatic Extension. You have ,multiple Concurrent Issues. If you file for an Extension, now, you can relax and work on one issue at a time. If it takes you one day per issue or one week per issue, you will get it done. You can file for an Automatic Extension Online using TurboTax or another online tax service. (2) Instead of using a C.P.A. I suggest that you use an "I.R.S. Enrolled Agent". You will probably save a LOT of money and the end result may be better with an "I.R.S. Enrolled Agent" (3) I had the pleasure of using the full-blown version of TurboTax for several years, via IRS FreeFile. TurboTax is, IMO and IME extremely good. The last tax year I used it for was 2020. I had a question and started a thread for my question or added it to another thread. I went to the forum about an hour later and was very surprised that a TurboTax employee (C.P.A.?) had answered my question, approximately 20 minutes after I submitted it to the forum. (That was during the tax season and during the week). If an I.R.S. Enrolled Agent is not available, I would pay for the full-blown version of TurboTax and request an Automatic Extension and begin working on my return. One issue at a time...
  14. This is critical: He moved from one state (AZ?) to another state which is NC. His old will from AZ is worthless. He needs a new Will that conforms with NC state laws. If he does not have a Will that conforms with NC State laws the court will write one for him. The state has already done that. Probably it would not do what the Father of the OP would like to be done.
  15. I would NEVER expect an insurance company or bank or other financial services company to accept a Notarized Statement. I suggest that you contact all of the companies he has investments with and request change of Beneficiary forms be sent to him. Then after they are filled out return them to each company. Request that they acknowledge that they have updated the Beneficiary by sending you confirmation for your files.
