IRS in the time of DOGE and Musk
bamnutsak replied to sqwakvfr's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
I filed on 1/28 (here), refund deposited 2/6. I don't read much into that, just assumed that early filers don't represent that much volume so their returns are easily processed, likely automatically. -
DOGE/musk seems focused on the 150-year-olds for now so we may be safe. But Musk does seem erratic, and subject to hissy fits - some here remember his behavior during Tham Luang cave rescue - so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of actions. Anxiety Mounts Among Social Security Recipients as DOGE Troops Settle In “Social Security will not be touched,” Trump answered, echoing a promise he has been making for years. Despite his eagerness to explode treaties, shutter entire government agencies and abandon decades-old ways of doing things, the president understands that Social Security benefits for seniors are sacrosanct. “Social Security will not be touched,” Trump answered, echoing a promise he has been making for years.

Bangkok Bank Now Doing FATCA
bamnutsak replied to kingstonkid's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Has anyone received communication from Bangkok Bank regarding this subject? I haven't, no email, no thai post letter, no notification in the app. -
BofA works fine for me - OTP as an SMS via GV. They also allow use of a FIDO key, that also works for me. The site needs to support the authenticator. I think Fidelity does https://www.reddit.com/r/fidelityinvestments/comments/1esv55g/its_here_you_can_now_use_most_authenticator_apps/ Some/many/most support 2FA via Voice OTP. AFAIK this should work fine for GV.

bamnutsak replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Not a lot of cash sized in this 'raid'. Twenty (20) Baht and two (2) ecigs. Meanwhile, Police seized 260 kilograms of ketamine and other illicit drugs in Bangkok's Khan Na Yao district Thursday. -

Musk targets Social Security with blatant misinformation
bamnutsak replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
Doge is saying that 6,500 Probationary workers will be fired. Doge is also saying that 15,000 IRS employees will be terminated. No clue if the 15,000 includes the 6,500. Meanwhile, eggs. Higher Egg Prices Drove up Inflation, and Walmart Grocery Revenue https://money.usnews.com/investing/news/articles/2025-02-20/higher-egg-prices-drove-up-inflation-and-walmart-grocery-revenue -
I think he's hosed. Based on what the experts have posted here I think you have to restart on the seasoned 800,000 THB path. And then, switch over to the monthly transfer option assuming you satisfy the 800k requirements and make 12 qualifying transfers. His permission to stay runs through February 2026?

Same for me. Reddit says 'Yes'. It will work in the U.S., so this benefits those returning for visits; you can buy add-on data and voice/text for one day or one week, over and above the 100/100/100. I use Google Voice for most OTP's, this has ALWAYS worked for me. I have never encountered a 2FA requirement for which GV was not successful. I use UltraMobile as backup - I ported my long-time mobile number (~ 25 years) into UM. Some of my 2FA requirements are solved with the mobile app (Chase and Fidelity, for example), or a FIDO key (BofA, for example).
