Business & Finance - 28 December 2006

I have a parcel post package thats supposed to be arriving but it isnt. I checked tracking and it only says Electronic Shipping Info Received

The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on December 24, 2006 to expect your package for mailing.
Does this mean the sender already sent the package and its on its way? Whats going on?

Is an item always an item -- retail law?

The store at which I work recently ran a coupon:

$10 off a *single item* priced $10 or higher.

A customer tried to buy socks that were priced 3/$12. She claimed that if they were sold *individually* for a higher price than 1/3 of the group selling price, then they were legally considered a *single* item when purchased as a group. (If one pair rings up at $5, but three pair ring at $4 each.)

Does anybody know if there is any legal validity to her claim?

standard tax deductions for knowledge-based consulting firm?

I do research for, and give presentations in, the public and private sector, and have created a consulting firm (LLC) through which to run expenses and to have a business "front" to what I do. I have looked at the IRS Schedule A Itemized Deductions documents, and the Jackson-Hewitt deductions pages online. I have also searched through Yahoo Answers. I'm curious if anyone has created an Excel spreadsheet or if there is another web resource out there that itemizes the tax deductions I would typically be able to make each year. Of course, flights, hotels, gas involved in travel related to the consulting would be deducted, as would computer software and hardware that is needed for the business. It would be fantastic if there was some kind of list out there for consultants who do this type of thing. Thanks in advance for your advice and help.

Taxes on Selling a "flipped" house?

I am going to be purchasing a house to flip. It should take me about 10-12 weeks to complete. I should profit around $40,000. Will I pay Capital gains on this amount? If so, would I pay less if I purchase the property through a company instead of personally. (If I open a company and buy the house under the company name). I have heard that capital gains is around 35% of the profit. Is this what you have heard?

Thanks!
Kimberley

I run an in-home daycare and heard that if I make under $8000/year that I don't have to claim, is this true?

I have been providing receipts for my clients and have given them their end of year receipt tallying their totals. But I had heard if my income was under $8000 I didn't have to claim it...obviously I would still be filing my income tax but was just uncertain about what the maximum amount is that you can make when doing daycare without having to claim it. Thanks a lot!

Anyone ever take a course with AWAI?

I am a freelance writer who works for magazines but I'm tired of making peanuts and would like to take a course in copywriting. I'm considering sending away for the course offered by the American Writers and Artists Institute. it costs $507 and is said to be excellent. They even claim to help their "graduates" get copywriting jobs afterwards. Anyone out there finished the course and got a job through them? Any other at home copywriting courses you want to recommend? I have my first copywriting job lined up and I have no idea what I'm doing.
