The CARES Act temporarily waived the 10% early withdrawal penalty on up to $100,000 of withdrawals. Normally, if you withdraw money from your IRA, 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement account before the age of 59½, you must pay an early withdrawal penalty.

Any adjustment to the stimulus payment on your 2020 tax return will be in your favor. However, if your 2020 income was higher than what was used to determine your rebate amount, you won't be forced to pay back the stimulus money or lose any of your refund. If your income was lower in 2020 than it was on your prior-year return, you could be eligible for a higher stimulus payment once you file your 2020 tax return. But don't worry - receiving one won't increase your 2020 tax bill or decrease your refund. Technically, the payments were an advance on a 2020 tax credit, so they can affect your 2020 tax return. The IRS used your 2018 or 2019 tax return to calculate the amount. Taxpayers could receive up to $1,200 per adult ($2,400 for a married couple) and an additional $500 for each dependent child, but the payments were phased out for taxpayers with higher incomes.

Turn off your headlights once you find a parking spot. Remember that you’re not the only one watching the movie.Dress as comfortably as possible, and bring an extra jacket in case it gets chilly at night. One of the advantages of outdoor theaters is that there is no dress code.Many drive-in theaters allow movie watchers to bring their own snacks, but check the rules beforehand just in case.You can use your car radio to listen to the movie, but you may also want to consider bringing a portable radio, extra batteries, and lawn chairs.However, sometimes the best place to park at a drive-in movie theater is by the exit-it's an easy way in and out. Arrive early if you want to be closer to the screen.Drive-In Theater Etiquette: The Dos and Don’ts of Drive-In Theaters Here are California’s best drive-in movie theaters you need to visit. ![]() Horror movies become scarier, romantic films more amorous, and comedies a hundred times funnier.Ĭalifornians are just as nostalgic for drive-in movie theaters as everyone else, so join in on the new favorite pastime activity making its way into the spotlight of 2020-all while practicing social distancing.

They also were *completely* full for their Pulp Fiction showing as they're one of the few drive-ins in town that show "old/classic" movies vs. In comparison, the other drive-in I went to had a massive, constructed screen built on top of pillars was located in a quiet and scenic area away from any busy streets and the parking lot had elevated "ridges" so that each car got an equal view of the screen.Įlectric Dusk's one saving grace is that the food options were great - they had home-cooked hot dogs, burgers, candy, popcorn, etc. ![]() My friend and I were only located in the second-to-third row and even then, we didn't have full, clear vision of the screen. Secondly, the "screen" is a small, inflatable screen that wouldn't be out-of-place at someone's "backyard movie" sesh. In reality, the drive-in is located in a small and dusty parking lot *right* next to a busy intersection/entryway to a major freeway. I've only ever been to one other drive-in theater (also in the LA area) so I was interested to see how these two compare.įirstly, the Electric Dusk website has a little bit of false advertising the pictures depict this very scenic, "heart of Hollywood" drive-in experience overlooking a city. I went here yesterday with my friend to see a showing of Pulp Fiction. ![]() The firm has claimed that 20% of all digital assets are held on Ledger devices.
