NFBC Message Boards

Not exactly self-employment income. Self-employment income is subject to self-employment tax and I doubt if anyone does that. Some where on page one of the return is where your 1099 income is placed. You can deduct your expenses up to the amount of your winnings. If you won $2000 you can deduct as m...

I thought part of the discussion was telling Fanball to apply some of our winning towards the purchase of a 2011 entry. Of course, to be a 2010 deduction, it would have to be actually spent in 2010 as we are all cash basis taxpayers and not accrual basis.

Glenn, by law, you are required to claim any winnings whether you receive a 1099 or not. It could be just $100 and Fanball would not be required by law to send you a 1099 or the IRS a 1096/1099. But it is still supposed to be claimed. I'm not saying that people do it but that is the law.

If you sell $20,000 in a mutual fund and use those proceeds to immediately purchase $20,000 in another fund, you have a taxable event and you will received a 1099. You taxable amount will be $20,000 less your basis. This is a fact. Here, you are receiving prize money and are electing to spend that m...

Over/under on checks not being available before Thanksgiving. My current guess is after Thanksgiving. As far as 1099s go, they are required for all monies won in excess of $600 although they could be provided for any lower amount. If they are sent, the IRS will know and their computers will be match...

as far as innings pitched requirements, I think a bump to something like 900 would be a good idea but I don't really have a strong opinion. The problem with a lower IP requirement is that no one should really do it in the main event but it can work in the Satellites. I have suggested to many who I k...

two things I like about the NFBC are (1) no trading and (2) no daily moves. I like the Friday hitting lineup changes and would be OK with Friday pitching changes but, for me, daily moves would cause me to leave. I don't want to devote each and every day to checking and adjusting lineups. I did ESPN ...

not firefox. I still have the "stopped script" problem and it is really frustrating but I have learned to live with it. The option of installing chrome exclusively for the NFBC just rubs me wrong. Technology should adapt to the marketplace and not have as their solution to change. It makes me consid...

I stayed out of the FanBall bashing earlier this year. I do think they bit off a more than they could chew when all the "promises" were made relative to how smooth things would be. Eventually things smoothed out with just a few exceptions. This coming weekend will be a true test of if lessons have b...

"UGLY" is kind.

Originally posted by Top Dawg: I don't think you can change pitchers for Friday. You can't do that any other week unless they went on the DL mid-week. Hitters, yes. Pitchers, usually no.... But you should be able to set them for the week before the FIRST game of the week. Earlier this week Greg said...

I cannot set pitchers for Thursday. I got in late last evening from my golf trip and just looked now. I read the post that lineups would lock at the first game today. What gives? I read the post by Greg that thing will NOT lock until the first game.

I just went to set my lineup and the pitching portion does not allow changes. The thing is I will be away from a PC until Wednesday starting in about 15 minutes. Not good. I'm wondering what to do when I return Wednesday afternoon BEFORE any games this week start. I really expected to be able to set...

and you need two of them to win the overall.

I wonder if he will show up at the Arizona fall Ball League like Strasburg did last fall. If he actually is there, it would be a great chance to see just how good he is. As a Northern Virginian going to 12 games a year, I hope he is somewhere near all the hype. One of the few promising Nats still in...

I may consider that option

all the saved passwords and knowing what setting I may need makes me say no to Chrome. Firefox works extremely well for everything else I do and I just can't see a two team fantasy league make me change. I can live with things for the rest of the season.

Here is my normal Saturday and Sunday series of event. Note I use Firefox and that I am not going to change browsers under the hope that things get better. Changing browsers isn't a fix but a cop out, in my opinion. I click on my team. I select Free Agents and wait 7-8 seconds for the page to come u...

I have Firefox and the constant script error is annoying. I freezes up well over half the time I do anything with free agents. Not sure if I have every seen it any other time. I'm finally getting used to it but "acceptance' is not really a solution.

The "negativity" on this board has reached the previously unreachable. It has created an impossible problem. I'm tired on all the bickering but without actually reading this board there are too many fantasy relevant situations you do not discover. I personally don't care if it was STATs fault or Fan...

I see it now. I wasn't looking on the message board page. I was looking on my team page given that is where I need to verify eligibility.

I guess I would only be upset if they actually awarded Holland to a team. I am not bidding on him solely because Greg said he was not available and I have no clue what sort of correction may be made for anyone who wins him in FAAB. Off to my son's house for my wife's mothers day dinner. I won't know...

Originally posted by Oaktown: No issues on Firefox here. I use Firefox and get that stupid script error whenever I do a sort or two or switch to 7 or 14 days stats. Once in a while it forces me to reboot but normally it goes away after several minutes. A solution to this issue should never be to swi...

So I am curious - Holland is still on my satellite league's free agent list. For someone who does not frequent this board, a claim can easily be made even now at 2:30pm. They may have contingent bids for other players and assume the really want another SP. What will happen? If they win and the pick ...
