I worked in Switzerland the entire year last year, but I got some delayed Massachusetts unemployment payment right in January also.

I got taxed in Switzerland on those payments because they count as income, and the same on the US side it seems. AI is convinced my tax accountant should have filed a "re-sourced by treaty" Form 1116 to reclaim this double taxation.

Is this true? I've been trying to reach out to my tax accountant, but conveniently their email server isn't working.....

Ich würde gerne am Samstag nach Freiburg zum Weinfest, aber auch das Kanada-Marokko Spiel sehen.

Gibt es irgendwo in der Nähe des Münsters die Möglichkeit das Spiel zu sehen?

Danke im voraus!

I'm an American citizen living in Switzerland, and I have an HSA account with Fidelity. I was told I can not transfer money from the HSA account to my brokerage account (that way I could wire the money to myself in Switzerland), the only possible way was a physical check that Fidelity sent me that I deposited at my local bank (UBS Switzerland).

However, the teller informed me that they will no longer accept checks from private customers from October on, frankly I'm not surprised as it is 2026 and Europe phased out checks decades ago.

What are my options to withdraw money from my HSA account?

Ich würde gerne manchmal von Rheinfelden nach Stein fahren mit meinem Velo, aber nur, wenn das Wetter das zulässt. Stein hat ein "Velohaus" direkt am Bahnhof wo das Velo vor Witterung (und Dieben) geschützt ist, gibt es sowas auch in Rheinfelden?

I recently moved to Switzerland, and I just had my first tax return done by a professional, which was very expensive given how much I ended up paying in taxes to the US. The Swiss tax return I am confident I can do myself from here on, but the American one is pretty convoluted, specifically Part II of Form 1116, i.e. how to tease apart my share from the combined Swiss tax return.

I was looking at HR Block, but from what I can tell they're not guiding you through this crucial calculation.

Are there any good tools that guide you through these calculations?

I'm the main software dev on a project where there's a combination of components speaking Ethernet/IP, but also plain computers I'm hoping to have TCP sockets open, which the PLC will talk to.

The problem I'm facing is, I don't know how hard or easy it is to build and maintain complex, parallelized executions on a PLC. I could offload a good amount of complex code to the peripheral components and thus keep the PLC code minimal, or I could essentially say "the PLC will do it all".

Are there any guidelines here? My tendency is to offload as much as possible, but that may simply be because it is something I personally know, versus the black box the PLC (and its capabilities) is.

Robotics as a discipline is already hard enough, but what nobody ever talks about is that all these components need to be certified, not just separately but also as a whole. You need seasoned experts in each subdomain (software, electric, mechanic) that can produce components to the level that will pass OSHA, Regulation 2023/1230 etc etc. This usually requires outside labs for independent validation of safety standards, which can take years especially if humans have to get anywhere close to the device.

Both companies I work for have been utterly unaware of this, and are now finding out that "4 months to market" are actually rather "1.5 years to market".
