Quilt #256163

Asked June 22, 2015, 5:29 PM EDT

I have a hand made quilt that was made in the early 1960's. There is a bright blue backing on it. Fabrics of this period were not color safe and were subject to fading. The quilt needs cleaning, but I am afraid the back will fade and ruin the cover which was handmade by my grandmother. The quilt was quilted by my mother and her cronies. Hopefully you can suggest something or direct me to someplace that can help. I'm afraid to wash it.

Any information or idea of the artist of this painting. #246443

Asked June 02, 2015, 11:37 AM EDT

I purchased this painting a while ago and I've always really liked it. It has no signature on the front. It only has 1960 and a "Fulton Canvas Boards" card tucked on the canvas itself, stating the canvas is 12x16 and "R609-2" and under that what appears to be a "G". The paper enclosing the canvas to the painting has has "D-19" and a ripped signature ending in what appears to be "D" on it. Any ideas about the painting or the artist?

LATE IRA 2014 MRD #235464

Asked April 08, 2015, 9:18 AM EDT

I read your answer to file a form 5329 and write an explanation asking for a waiver of the penalty. What you don't say is where  to file the MRD, on my 2014 tax or the 2015 tax. I took the MRD for 2014 on 4-6-15 and the 1099R for this distribution will be coded for 2015 and sent on 2016.

Asked March 02, 2015, 9:41 AM EST

I am replacing my Vintage 1960 Frigidaire Foldback electric coil units and I do a lot of canning and the coils elements have worked great. Can you suggest an electric coil cook top that is good for canning? I really don't care for the glass top cook tops.

Remove first litter of rabbits when second litter is born? #224591

Asked January 16, 2015, 2:15 PM EST

My rabbit gave birth to 3 babies 4 weeks ago. She now gave birth to a second litter with 5 babies. Can I remove the first litter? I'm concerned that she won't feed the new litter, or that she won't produce enough milk. These are mini rex rabbits kept as pets. 

Thank you

Shrub trimming to save water #207711

Asked August 20, 2014, 6:04 PM EDT

During drought conditions, e.g. CA, would it help to reduce the water consumed by shrubs and trees by trimming back some of their foliage? It would seem that with less green leaves to need and use water, the shrubs and trees could get by with less water. Thanks, Bill Taft, OSU-BSME-1960

establishing cost basis in non-deductible IRA accounts #206532

Asked August 25, 2014, 4:22 PM EDT

I have made non-deductible IRA contributions to investment accounts for many years, but I never filed form 8606, and I do not have evidence that the contributions were made with after-tax dollars. Further, I don't have the records to show how much I contributed each year, although I know it was the maximum allowed for each year.. I do, however, have copies of all my tax returns that would reveal that no deductions were ever claimed or taken. I don't want to pay tax (again) on the portion that represents my cost basis when I start my RMDs in 3 years.
* Does the IRS require proof of the cost basis and gains at the time that I report these figures?
*What can I do to satisfy the IRS that all my contributions were non-deductible? *How can I avoid paying double taxes on the cost portion of my IRA account?
