Business & Finance - 4 January 2007

I signed up for a dependent care FSA this year. The total amount available per calendar year is $5000.00 and I chose the whole amount. I get paid weekly, so, I have $96.15 taken out of each paycheck.

My son's daycare is $145 per week. I know that I will use the $5000 prior to year end so am not worried about "using it or losing it". However, I was wondering if this is a good plan and how it will affect my child tax credits when I do my tax return next year? Also want to know if this account can also be used for my son's medical prescriptions & Dr. visits? I heard that you may not be able to if you have only a dependent care plan set up.

Do you ultimately feel the FSA is a good advantage and why?

Thanks

Are there better times to buy/sell ETF's for tax purposes? Was wondering if certain times were more beneficial in terms of filing taxes. Does the type of security matter?

hello there everyone, thank you for your time, well my husbands works for a dealership where his boss requires him to wear a uniform that is laundered by a laundering company, but he has had my husband and many other employees sign this paper saying that my husband and his co-workers will have these laundering fees deducted from their pay. I thought that if its a uniform that the employer has to pay for maintaining them. i live here in california. also my husband gets commission and his boss is a jerk that is a cheap bastard. this guys has millions of bucks and he is selfish. my husband has been there for at least 1 1/2 yr adn the boss has deducted 2% from their salaries. instead of giving them raises amd incentives for doing a good job for him he takes from them which pisses everyone of and makes them not ant to work so hard. also they raised the insurance rates and check this out for christmas they gave everyone there a gift card for jamba juice for 20 dollars. no bonus or nothing

The appraisal was done by a local jeweler (I believe for insurance purposes). Someone told me that the value I could sell it for it only a percentage of the appraisal. The ring is a yellow gold engagement ring with diamond.

Would like an expert opinion, please, or an opinion of someone who has been in this situation.

Thanks in advance!

I have a message on my voice mail from some one wanting a job reference for an x-coworker I was not her supervisor and I don't know anything about her except she sat in a cubical and did the same job I do. She was laid off. My supervisor left me "in charge" this week while she's on vacation. I don't know what I should do. Ask them if they can wait till next week when my supervisor comes back or refer them to human resources ? I do not feel I can give a reference when I don't know anything about her work.

My husband and I are thinking about moving from our current apartments to a larger one. We found a really good deal on some apartments that are just a few more minutes away from our work, have an extra bedroom, and a garage. However, the apartments attract trashy people because of the low costs. My husband and I desperately need more space, and while we want to buy a house, we want to wait until we clear up our debt (will take about a year). So, in your opinion do you think it is worth living around trashy/ghetto people to have the plusses listed above? Any advice would be appreciated.
