But those are only the victims that expire at the scene of the accident. Anyone so much as loaded into an ambulance retaining a faint pulse, and then passing, is not counted in the road death sadistics.

OP appears not to be technology-inclined. Assume he has the most basic setup, in which case he likely signed up for a free hotmail account a decade ago and hasn't set up any complicated popamapawhosiwhatsitthingamabobs. Just a simple email. No point in confusing him until he returns to clarify.

The emails all live on the hotmail/google/whatever servers, NOT in your computer. That's why you can't access your email without an internet connection. On whatever device, you go online using a browser, open your email account and send to any email account. None of that lives on your hard drive unless you upload/download attachments. You can open your hotmail account on your laptop AND your phone simultaneously and send message to/from your email account. With email open on both devices, send an email to yourself from one of them. Go to the other device, and you can see that same message in the 'sent' folder before it reaches the inbox. Anyhoo, if what I think you're asking is can you send all your old emails from your old computer to your new computer, that's not necessary. If you're asking about attachments/files you've downloaded previously, then you need to transfer those to your new hard drive manually. If they came from old emails that have not been deleted, you can open those emails on your new computer and download them again.

They would never. Well, except for that Steele dossier. But that was different. They were defending democracy or something.

I think we should be congratulating the former and soon to be current Mr. President for his dedication to diversity and inclusion. He created a brand new department, and at its head he chose a truly patriotic African-American. Good on Trump for this decision. Musk is not a woke DEI diversity hire, but an African-American immigrant and rocket scientist! I hear he also dabbles in brain surgery!

Say, how many assassination attempts by MAGA types did Harris survive?

That's a plan. You are prepared. I'm in the "if you don't owe tax, you don't need to file" camp. I get a couple thousand back from interest and dividend withholding.

It's easier than that. File once a year online. My plan is first week of January, file FBAR online (10 minutes), file Thai tax online (10 minutes). First week of March, after 1099's received, file US tax online (30 minutes). Along with that I have 3-4 90-day reports to my probation officer, online (5 minutes each). Only physical attendance is one day per year, bank statements (30 minutes), and extension renewal (1 hour), plus a couple hours driving back and forth to the big city. As long as they don't go with worldwide taxation, we're good.

Calm down, don't get upset. It's just an anonymous post on the intertubes. Have you considered putting that poster on ignore?

Would you be criticizing democratic senators for not having the backbone to defy democratic oligarchs and deny Mz. Harris' underqualifed token woke DEI nominees? I highly doubt that. Fortunately, democracy won, and we shall be unburdened by what has not been.

I thought this was about Trump's cabinet. Why bring DEI-hire Harris into it?

Call me when Trump orders extermination by drone of American citizens without trial.

So you're saying if they are successful and the people approve of their actions, they might win another election, perhaps even bigly'er? Democracy bad!

Selling/buying funds to take LTCG's. Not as living expenses or purchases, but to reset cost basis of funds owned. Take the gain now tax-free and reduce/avoid future taxes. Do it NOW in case Thailand goes with worldwide income, in which case US 0% brackets will not be recognized by TRD and will be fully assessable income taxed at up to 35%! Maximum tax-free gains in the US under WW income tax would cost me $10K annually filing single, or $20K annually if filing jointly.

We have a downloaded DIY will with two witnesses. Local amphur will not register it. It's a simple will. I own no physical assets. The house and car in Thailand are in the wife's name. I have bank and brokerage accounts in Thailand, brokerage accounts in US. I've added an addendum page in the will listing all account numbers along with current values as of date of signing. Accessing the Thailand accounts shouldn't be too much trouble. I'm putting together a notebook as I go along with specific instructions to follow for each step of the process; obtaining the death certificate from the embassy, applying for the IRS certificate, contacting Fidelity to arrange for transfer. I might contact a BKK law firm to see if they handle this sort of event. Step one: marry foreigner Step two: ??? Step three: profit! We'll probably go ahead and set up a Fidelity account for her if that can truly be done without an ITIN. Then I can begin researching US and Thai laws on gift transfers.

I am a citizen. As decedent, i will have been a citizen. This particular info page is specifically for "estates of nonresidents not citizens" and defines how the law applies in those cases only. Fidelity requires the transfer certificate.

Yes, using my parents' address. Several years ago, Fidelity went through a phase of attempting to identify non-resident accounts. They caught me. Only change is that now my accounts are not allowed to purchase or add to holdings of mutual funds (registered for sale in US only). I can have the restriction lifted if I physically show up in a US branch and provide utility bills to re-establish residence.

Not required. Fidelity allowed me to list her as beneficiary. When speaking with the rep, I confirmed she knew the wife was non-resident, non-citizen, overseas, with no SSN/TIN. I'm also looking into getting her an ITIN in order to file "married filing jointly" to double the standard deduction and LTCG 0% brackets.

I'm in the early stages of researching and getting this all set up. I'm aware that my Roth will likely be problematic, but fortunately (!) it's only a small portion of my portfolio. I spent the majority of my non-military work life in occupations that paid a large part of the paycheck as non-taxable per diems and allowances. Add to that I spent bigly amounts of time vacationing, such that I have enough credits to receive social security benefits, but not much more, thus many years unable to make contributions.

Thanks for that. Gonna have to bookmark his channel. Will check back when Thailand announces worldwide income tax!

I'll take bitter fruit over word salad any day, thank you very much!

The important thing is that poster (whether he/she/they/them/those/it!) assumed "her" gender. That's unforgivable. Perhaps some time out for self-reflection is called for.

Harris = she campaign staff = they This confusion is why the ridiculous pronoun mess is so ridiculous.
