I have received my W2 Form from work weeks ago and am all set to pay my taxes.

The only problem is I don't know how to declare the prize I won from Dell. Are they supposed to send me some type of form? Or is it my responsibility to declare the laptop and the estimated cost?

Because I won the laptop as a prize I have only a rough assumption as to what it costs. Is this good enough? Or was I supposed to get some tax papers from Dell?

Please help...

OK, so I wanted to refinance my mortgage. Everything was going fine, even for having a lower credit score. The closing was set, all we were waiting for was the appraisal. Well, when it came in, it was over $30,000 less than comps near by. It seems that the appraiser decided that the Family Room, which was enclosed from a carport in the mid 1980's, should not be included as living space. "The garage was converted by sealing the opening with T-111 siding, carpet on floor, it is under central a/c, this area is calculated seperate from the living sf for comparative purposes of this appraisal, and is typical and not adverse as it may be readily converted back to car storage purposes at minimal cost." The problem with this is that it never was a garage. There was actually a block foundation attached to the concrete slab, that would not be easy to tear up! He used 936 sq. ft. as the living space, when all the other appaisals stated it was 1183 sq. ft. What do I do to fix this?? Or am I stuck?

A few yearas back i drowned my self in credit card debt totalling $5,000 that i couldn't pay back at the time but over the past 6 months i just paid everything off and my score is still bad. What can i do to better it?? i only have 2 active accounts that are in good standing a student loan about $12,000 and car $7,000 that i'm good with. I'm rying to buy a house and a realtor told my the least the bank asks for is a 620 score. How can i get it that high if no one will give me credit?? I've tried getting credit cards, furniture, appliances etc to establish more credit but everyone turns me down. I know exacly what is on my credit report but every bad debt i have in it (totaling 10 ) have been paid off. So what now?? How can i get it to go up some more??

In the divorce decree it states that he claims our daughter as his dependent and pays half of the childcare. He thinks that he is paying half for my daughter and half for my son and therefore claims both children for the childcare credit. I am claiming my son for both(dependent and child care credit).

I've been with my current employer for 2 and a half years now, although when I joined I handed my notice in after 6 months because it was really boring and it wasn't what I expected. Unfortunately, the new job was even worst, so I contacted my old employer and went back but this time getting a promotion.

It was a lot better, but last year I handed my notice in again as I found a better job elsewhere. My boss talked me out of it by offering a payrise, training, better hours etc. so I decided to stay on.

The other day I was contacted by another company and have been offered an excellent job, local to where I live that I couldn't turn down.

So... now I need to hand in my notice for a third time!! But this time, it's for definate! I just know they'll go mad, and I've got to work 4 weeks notice. It will be hell!!

What should I say when I tell them I'm leaving again?

Just finished doing my Taxes, I'm single in my mid 20's, and make about 45k a year. I claim 0. The Government takes close to 30% of my income out in taxes.

I in all honesty feel punished because I don't have kids or support anyone on paperwork. (In reality I am often supporting my family financially my mother or my sisters & their children). I think my income is average. But I look at all the money the Government took & just feel a little sick.

I was also just told that the money they have been taking out for my retirement & Medicare, more then likely will not be there when I retire! Where is that money going then? This is insane!
