Thought I'd missed this one since shipping status was MIA, but it turned up today and caught me totally by surprise!

Here she is running dualie with my 2001FP. Love my 3520x1200 chunk o' real estate! (pardon the messy desk -- they say it's a sign of genius)

Started it in May I think (I started the thread about it). Certs were approved on 7/6, so only about 2.5 weeks until delivery.

Went through 3 or 4 refs before I got one that stuck it out and finished. It was only 6 easy offers + 1 ref, and I believe it still is.

[quotef2f7a92971="bballp6699"]You have entirely too many icons.[/quotef2f7a92971]
I agree!

I'm gonna need a bigger desk. Desks with built-in hutches and monitor "cubbies" don't handle this much monitor very well. Oh well, this one is like 10 years old anyway, so it's time to retire it...

I believe I-Deal paid over 900 for it, but with a little looking around you can get it for well under 800 from dell....

Yep, $931 shipped is what I-Deal paid.

A buddy saw mine yesterday and immediately went and bought one. ) He paid like $742 shipped including tax. They were running a free shipping thing, so he just paid the $703 + tax.

They will report what they paid for it on the 1099-MISC they send you. You can then decide to reduce it to fair market value. Don't send that with your taxes though, it will be ignored. Just save it as proof of FMV in case you are audited.

djmoksha

13-08-2006 13:01:36

ok cool, thanks dmorris, so if the FMV goes down below $600, what are the tax implications?

i took an individual tax accounting class in college, but i dont remember some of this stuff.

The tax implications don't change with value. ALL GIFTS ARE TAXABLE and are required by law to be reported, it doesn't matter if it's above or below $600. The $600 threshold is the amount at which the giver has to 1099 you (for which they need the W9), and not the amount at which you start reporting it.

And if they 1099 you, you had better report it, otherwise there will be a discrepancy with the IRS since the 1099 also goes to them. Which will throw up a flag and almost certainly cause an audit or at least a letter of inquiry asking you to explain the discrepancy (along with any penalties due).

And on that note, I have to say once again that you shouldn't be taking tax advice on a public internet forum, particular one that does not specialize in taxes. ;)

djmoksha

13-08-2006 13:11:12

agreed, i have my textbook somewhere, i'll dig it up tonight, so basically, just report it on the 1099 whenever it comes

Wasn't just me, if you look at the thread in the DIY section you'll see that several of us got them during the same week. Interest really didn't take off until then, though. )

If you earn enough income -- including freebies -- then you must pay taxes. Age doesn't matter, either.

If you don't earn enough, then you aren't required to file, but mind you the threshold is very low so you'd probably better check on that.

You don't have an SSN? Are you an immigrant? Because I didn't think there were very many young Americans today without an SSN -- it's extremely difficult to get through life in today's society without one.

I don't know HOW you got that monitor, I'm really having a hard time with Free Merchandise Voucher and my Dell screen. Now all my emails are being returned as undeliverable. Molly told me to send in my W-9, which I did and she would process my voucher manually since I had trouble printing it. Now I can't reach anyone there by email, by their online contact form or by phone.

any suggestions?
