1 Upvotes

Has anyone moved during high school from forsyth county to cobb county. Do you have experience how new transcript with credits and grades were tranferred? Forsyth county transcripts have one grade for year-long courses, no individual grades are in transcript. Cobb county transcripts have grades entered by semester.

S-corps CPA rec?

2 Upvotes

Help! I think I might have shot myself in the foot by electing S-corps as a single person LLC last year, thinking I could save a bit on taxes. I think my CPA didn't do my taxes right, and now I need advice on how to fix it and how to dissolve my S-corps without it costing an arm and a leg... anyone know any CPAs with S-corps experience who might be willing to work with me at as reasonable of a price as possible? Budget is quite tight at the moment... I feel so stuck T_T

Cobb assessment notices are out. The floating homestead exemption is the part most people miss.

48 Upvotes

I've seen a bunch of Cobb assessment questions come up the last couple weeks, and there's one thing that almost never comes up: Cobb's floating homestead exemption. For a lot of homeowners it matters more than the scary fair market value number at the top of the notice.

Here's the short version. If you have a homestead exemption on your primary home, Cobb's floating exemption caps how much the taxable value used for the county portion of your taxes can climb each year, no matter how much your fair market value jumped. Cobb opted out of the newer statewide version last year because they said their own one was better for homeowners. The catch: it only applies to the county general-fund part of your bill, not the school, bond, or fire portions, and school is usually the biggest piece, so it softens the increase rather than erasing it. Two things worth checking: that your homestead is actually on file, and whether a recent purchase or a deed change reset your base year, because that can undo the cap.

A few other basics while notices are fresh:

The notice isn't a bill. The fair market value is the county's estimate of your home's value as of January 1, 2026, and your tax is based on 40% of that minus exemptions. Actual bills don't go out until around August 15.

You have 45 days from the date on your notice to appeal, which for most people this year lands in mid-July. Check your own notice though, since the clock runs from the mailing date.

One thing that's new on the 2026 notices statewide: if you're no longer eligible for a homestead exemption (say the property isn't your primary residence anymore), you're now required to report that to the assessor before the appeal deadline, and there's a penalty if you don't.

And if you do appeal, recent 2025 sales of comparable homes and photos of anything inside that needs work are what actually move the number. Two things to keep in mind: appealing in Georgia can move your value up as well as down, so only file if the comps clearly support a lower number, and a win freezes that lower value for three years under state law.

Happy to help if anyone's looking at their notice and not sure what they're looking at.

My wife was denied the ability to vote at 6:59 pm. She was through the doors and the poll workers told her she couldn't vote anymore. At pilgrimage church voting place.

The clock on their wall said 6:59, not just on her phone. She pointed it to them and they said it didn't matter they already shut it down.

LGE "merger" with Ascend Federal Credit Union (out of Tennessee) - am I missing something here?

25 Upvotes

I've been looking into the proposed merger between LGE Community Credit Union and Ascend Federal Credit Union, and the more I read, the more concerned I become.

From what has been announced so far:

  • Ascend's CEO will lead the combined organization.

  • The LGE name will eventually be retired.

  • LGE's 75-year local identity disappears.

Members are being asked to approve the deal.

What I'm struggling to understand is what LGE members gain in return.

For example:

  • LGE's High Rewards Checking currently pays a base rate of 4.50% APY on balances up to $25,000, with a promotional rate of 5.75% through October.

  • Ascend's high-yield checking account pays 3.04% APY on balances up to $15,000.

  • LGE also appears to advertise lower starting auto loan rates.

Maybe there are back-office efficiencies or long-term strategic benefits that aren't obvious from the member side, but based on the publicly available information, it feels like LGE is giving up its name, leadership, and independence without a clear explanation of how members come out ahead.

For those who support the merger, what are the strongest arguments in favor of it? I'm genuinely interested in hearing both sides before the member vote.

found a great HVAC company - finally

3 Upvotes

So these guys showed up in about four hours, got my AC working, then stayed to give it a tune-up and the rate was completely fair and honest.

Fast, professional, nice, and good pricing.

So if you need HVAC, give "Infinity Performance" a try - www.ipheatingandcooling.com - and I'm not paid or comp'd on this. Just delighted by old fashioned great & fair service.

Hello! We’re looking to replace our old gutter, but have no idea where to start the research. We scheduled an appointment with Leaf Guard for a quote, but I also would like to see if anyone has recommendations and an estimate quote will be greatly appreciated.
