My wife does interior design, and she is going to school for it. She stopped working May of last year. She only had one client last year, mainly because she started just less than halfway through the year and some people are leary about hiring a student. What are the specifications for self employment.? I am asking this because from what I understand if shs can claim self employment on taxes, then she claim her mileage to school as a business expense?

It seems ridiculous and unnecesary to me that in the year 2007 I still have to deal with middlemen in so many transactions. If I want a Toyota, I should be able to go straight to Toyota, not a franchised dealer who makes a hefty profit as a middle man. Same with mattresses and many other items.
This would be in the best interest of me, the consumer, as well as the manufacturer. By cutting out the middle man, the manufacturer and I would both save money. So why don't more companies sell their products directly?

My hubby and I are trying to find the perfect place for us to live, so we can start planning for our move in 3 years. We LOVE the water. We don't want to go to the west coast. Lakes are great too. It would be best to be by a military installation, as well. (I know... lots of criteria. That's why we are stumped!)

can you list & depreciate fixed assets from prior years (2002) that were previously treated as an exprense? is there a benefit to it? i know nothing about taxes.

ours are done by a professional accountant, but bookkeeping is done in house. while going through our records to see what has been donated, i found several (a LOT) of items that should have been listed, from professional reference books to furniture. most items were listed under supplies expense (office supplies) or training.

the company is an LLC taxed as a partnership.

also, a link or name of a site with a list of depreciable fixed assets would be great if anyone knows of one. that would help me weed this out a little.

thanks!

Due to a much better offer. I have to tell them. I feel like a real *****. How can I do it with out them hating me? They could probably have rented their apartment out within these last four weeks.

If someone has been at a sales job building up clients and in the process bills and credit were an issue because lack of commissions, once that person is on their feet and paying things on time again, how long would a bank need to see steady payment history before letting that person refinance?

I have always paid cash for cars before, and now I want, rather need to finance a car. What do finance companies look for in your credit in deciding if you are a worthy lender and how much interest to charge? It's my fiance and I, and we both have great jobs, but have never financed a car before.

I've had a credit card that *IS* reporting all my account activity (which is all positive) with a nice limit. Yes, I have spent and paid on the account, so it does have monthly activity.

I also share a bank account with my fiancee.

I've had this card for 6 months and I know they are reporting my transactions because it is showing up on my credit report.

HOWEVER, I still don't have a credit score!! It's at 0, and I don't know why. Does anyone know why it would be like this?

I haven't moved or changed my name.. or ANYTHING that would effect it.
