I am happy with the brand. May be they have changed the content? Try another brand. There are many to chose from online, used to be only two or three sellers.

Taxact seems pretty useless for free filing if you can't file a Schedule B.
If still having problems, try this one:
https://www.olt.com/main/home/default.php
- Includes:
-
Home ownership Crypto or Stock Sale
Rental Property Freelance/gig worker
Self-employed Contractor
I don't have a US phone number.
OLT.com does not require a US phone number, I hope that won't change. I have not tried Taxact.

To those of you who have received LTR WP approval recently (within the last 6 months), how long did it take you to go from “Consideration by Government Agencies” (Step 4) to visa approval (Step 8)?
From my experience in Nov 2023, it took 6 days from Step 4 to Step 8.
The day after the status changed to " Consideration by Gov Agencies" (step 4) I was requested to submit insurance certification.
Almost immediately after I had submitted that, I receive a request to submit insurance policy. 4 days after that I was able to make an appointment online to get the visa.

I didn't shop around. I bought health insurance for LTR visa from AXA, the only company I called. The premium depends on the insurer's age and the deductible. In the picture below , Plan 1 with 2M maximum benefit is good enough for LTR visas. I needed at least 10 months left on the policy at the time of visa approval, so I started the application without health insurance, and bought the policy when BOI asked for it.

I would have send Form 1040 and the check via FedEx to IRS Austin street address, but only if I can't file 1040 online and pay online.
To file online with a US phone number:Free file fillable forms.
without a working US phone number: olt.com.
simplest way to pay online is by IRS Direct Pay.

That means the building is wired for fiber optical then. They just don't offer it to the tenants?
You need to deal directly with NT, make and appointment to install fiber optic cable and the condo front desk will charge you 2500B for hooking up to their meter room cable. Go to their office across the street if you have problem with the front desk new staff.

As a fellow owner in VT5D, that’s super interesting for me! Are you on a high floor?
There is a utility room or meter room on every floor next to the elevators. TOT tech ran fiber optic cable above the ceiling along the hallway from that room to my condo. 2500B was paid to the front desk, receipt issued by VT. The fee is the same no matter which floor you are on.
I've just checked my record , it was in August 2020 when I was remodeling my condo. My crew worked with TOT tech to have the fiber optic cable run into my unit , and have the cable in the wall (not on the wall) of my living room. I have double units at the corner.

Is this true? I was seriously looking at VT5D instead of VT2A but no fiber would be a deal breaker for me.
Don't know about VT2A, my condo is in VT5D. I paid 2500B to run fiber optic cable from the utility room to my unit in 2021. TOT, which is now NT is the only choice. Once you have fiber optic cable connected to your unit, you can pay yearly for the service.

This is what I got from AXA in November 2023. Their Easycare Visa Plan.
Plan 1 : 2MB per disability. Plan 2 :4MB per disability. Plan 1 is enough for LTR visa.

Your SS benefits will continue after you've renounced US citizenship.
You don't have to sell US stocks, properties or any US investments. You may have to pay tax on a " pretend sales" of your US properties. See IRS form 8854.
You can only renounce US citizenship outside of US by showing a valid passport or citizenship of another country.

My car's got Chonburi plates but I moved to Korat about 7 years ago and since then have been renewing it in Korat. I'm off to Australia next week, for 3 months, so when I return I'll check with the Pakthong Chai transport office. Thanks for the info.
My car has a Chonburi plate I got the purple book at Udon Thani land transportation office next to route 2 before entering Laos.

I was there to ask about how to get my refund since e-money card is no longer an option, wasn't there to ask when I will get the refund which I filed on January 10th but was told my refund was approved February 15 and will get it in the mail soon.
-
I filed last month still waiting for the refund. Yesterday went to Jomtein Revenue Office 4th floor confirmed I can no longer use e-money card to receive refunds.
I was claiming tax withheld at Bangkok Bank, I asked if I can get refund deposited in Bangkok Bank the answer was yes. I'll take the refund check to Bangkok Bank to try my luck once I got it in the mail.

I have filed for tax return last month at Jomtein revenue office, was not told I need a new bank account. I assume I will get my refund as before my mail, but now that I am aware of this I will go back to ask.

I will pick up the passport and do re-entry permit
In the old system I was allowed to enter the main building by showing the laminated number to collect my passport and proceed to re entry desk. How does the new system work? do you have to come back to the small building for a queue number for re entry desk?

The Red Cross Queen Vadhana Memorial hospital in Sriracha has to be the most beautiful hospital in Thailand. https://maps.app.goo.gl/a39SWip4wvgNKTYc9
They offer selected services in the evenings at higher fees.

EGD ( EsophagoGastroDuodenoscopy) plus colonoscopy on Feb 14 was 20392B, of which 350B was for removing one benign polyp.

Impressive!! ...the stress would kill me 55
I don't have the personality for this approach.
You are right, it can be nerve wrecking when the market is down.
The biggest danger is panic selling , which has not happened to me yet 55.

Learn to invest with the patience of a tiger. identify the mother lode, buy a few index funds, hold for years. NOt like a curious cat, distracted by anything shinny all over the world.
That's was how I manage accounts but NVIDIA is too "shinny".

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency

Plan 1 has a maximum benefit per disability of 2M which is above the $50,000 BOI requirement, so Plan 1 is acceptable. BOI does not care about the deductible, it can be any amount of your choice.
I bought the policy just to meet LTR visa requirement, so I picked the highest deductible at a lower cost.
