Business & Finance - 7 January 2007

I am trying to open a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) experimental art/music gallery. Bringing it down the very basic level, what has to happen first, do I fill and file the non-profit paperwork and then get the DBA or do I get the DBA and then file the non-profit paperwork?

A flat tax.....federal sales tax....or keep it the same.
Or is there a better way.
I believe the federal sales tax would be better because the wealthy tend to buy more costly items and would end up paying more.
And explain your reason for your answer.

I just realized that I've wasted the last 6yrs of my life right out of college trying to secure a coveted position when in reality, many have told me that getting passed over is the result of anyone with money usually 'buying' their way in. As in buying a piece of the company and pronouncing themselves with some over-glorified title.

So how are we hard-working people who've been with the company for years supposed to make it (as opposed to getting passed over for raises & promotions?)

My mother (who owns her house outright) is thinking of buying a smaller house down the street. In the meantime, the lovely couple next door who are now renting their house have expressed interest in buying it from my mom on contract. I am just confused as to the duration that this contract could be? Does this mean that they can basically draw up an agreement for 30 years like they would if they went through a bank for a certain amount of interest? Is it like a rent to own situation? My mom keeps the title until the house is paid off and if 10 years down the road, they decide to move...what happens to their money? Anyway, any insight into this kind of sale would be great. My mom doesn't need to sell her house to buy the other one and she thinks that this "contract" sale would be good as she would be getting interest every month?

I'm trying to find out if a landlord is required to regularly have someone come to the properties they own (residential) to exterminate for bugs or any other type of pests. I'm curious because I've lived here 5 years and the only time they ever did what they called "exterminate" was 3 yrs. ago when they came in and set those ugly little ant/roach motel things in a few corners of some of the rooms. When I asked the property manager, they stated that this complex is clean and they have no need to spray. I don't have a problem with bugs yet, however, I have some neighbors that moved in about 5 months ago and they appear to be lacking in personal care, housekeeping skills, and hygiene. I'm concerned it may become a problem pretty soon if it isn't sprayed on a regular basis. Anyone know if there are regulations for this?

I just started this new jobs 3 weeks ago and he winked at me yesterday. Usually when he is around me he never talks with me unless its necessary. Also, when everyone is around he talks with them and if we are left alone he walks away. Am I reading way to much into the wink or what?

I know it sounds dumb, but we've been living with my mother in law, and she said we could make an addition to her house, sort of a small apartment, so that we could have our own little place, instead of sharing the kitchen and having only 2 rooms.
I just know it's gonna be expensive. So I was wondering, if the bank will give me and my husband a loan to have this built, even though it is my mother in law's house, and not ours.

Thank you so much!

Here is my concept. A half and half draw. IF everyone gave one dollar and half of the money was given to me and half went to someone who won the other half would you do it. Is it legally possible to do this. Ever been to a church bazaar or something like that, they do that. It is just on a bigger scale. It would make me and one other person (with the right ticket) rich if lots of people do it.

My friend (with poor credit history and with poor judgement, IMHO) is asking me to rent an apartment in my name and sublet it to him. I want to help out, but I don't want to get myself in trouble. Besides making sure that sublet is allowed by the landlord, what esle should I do to make sure I don't get myself in trouble? What kind of possible trouble is there? (He doesn't do drugs and stuff like that.)
My situation: I do not want that apartment at all (if he were to back out in the middle of a lease agreement), but I will want to rent something else for myself in the nearest year. Is there such thing as a limit of how many apartment one can rent in their name? I don't have enough income to support two apartments, but I have enough to support one.

Can a preparer efile directly through the irs for free? I work for a company preparing taxes, but we can only do 2 free returns per year. I have lots of friends and family that would like me to do their taxes for them and I would feel bad charging them especially what the company I work for charges. What are some other options if it is not free?
