If someone gains access to your ATM card and your password,
how long are the recordings from the video cameras at the ATM
kept? I guess what I'm needing to know, is how far back can they
go to see if someone other than yourself accessed your account and verify whether a transaction was actually made?

I bough a house in March 06 and just received my 1098 from the mortgage company. On box 2 (mortgage points) the amount is $6200, not all of which paid by me. The builder paid $3500 closing costs.

If I remember correctly and it shows this on my loan application, my rate was 5.875% w/ .875% points on my loan equaling = $1875.

How did my mortgage company get $6200 and what amount is my true point deduction?

I have a question about donated property. I did a major cleaning this past year and gave several times to Goodwill. I have 7 separate receipts. Can all the receipts only total $500 or I will have to fill out Form 8283? I know with cash donations (at least for 2006), if they are individual donations to church for example you don't combine the total. So...do I combine all the receipts? If not, can i claim about $1200 worth of donations (have documentation) and not do the additional form?

Thanks so much!

I've been on a month to month basis with my landlord for about a year or so. She wants us to move out in 60 days because of personal reasons. Are we obligated to pay her rent for those two months? Also, she came with somebody to look at the house because she might want to sell it. Based on that one walk through, she has told me that she is keeping my $1000 deposit because of damage to the paint, carpet and a light fixture that broke. We would have replaced the fixture. The paint damage is normal wear and tear after 3 years, and we had planned to get a professional place to steam clean the carpet. Doesn't she have to provide us with an itemized list of how our security deposit is being used based on the cost of the repairs she will make? Also, she never kept up the house while we were here, and often would not fix things we told her were wrong. We went over a week in the summer wihtout AC waiting on her to send somebody to fix it. I just want to know what my rights are. Thx.

My house has been on the market for 6 months with no offers. The prices are falling in our town and I've cut the asking price several times but the competition seem to be cutting their prices even faster. My realtor's listing expired and now I'm trying to decide whether to re-list with the same realtor or use someone else. When I hired this realtor I put the commission at 5 percent instead of the standard 6. She said she would accept this but since then she has repeatedly told me the house is not selling becuase the buyers' realtors are put off by the 5 percent (of which they get 2.5 percent). She supposedly put on a special bonus for seller's agents--I never saw proof that she did---but no results from that. Now she is saying if I re-list with her I should put the comission at 6 percent. I am thinking of canning her instead. It just seems she has a conflict of interest in giving this bit of advice and I don't trust her. What should I do??

I was working in a call center in a sales position. I was also in psychotherapy to treat mental illness. A job counselor told me that my best work prospects would be to continue in telemarketing but given my medical condition he advised me to go for disability. I asked my psychotherapist about getting a disability pension and he told me he wanted me to work. After I was no longer in his care, I went ahead and applied for disability and I was approved quickly for it. What do you make of my story?

Please end my argument. A friend of mine who did not work all year (no income at all) is not eligible to file a tax return. She has 2 children ages 16 and 9. Can her boyfriend claim the earned income tax credit since he is the only one in the house who did have an income? (PS. He does not really live "in the house" but does support her and the kids. I say he can NOT claim EIC since he is not their father and that their biological father should get to claim it. Help?
