Business & Finance - 28 January 2007

Just last month my credit score was at 717. I had a car loan and some other credit cards. I took out a line of credit to pay off my debt (my car loan included) I have 26 paid off (good standing) remarks on my report. I have one collection on my report and 6 items I am disputing. Now my credit score is only 630 and I have paid off all my credit card bills and debt. What's going on!?

I went to college for a liberal arts major that has proven to be quite useless. I'm 26 years old now, and floundering in an office job that I hate. I've been reseaching other careers, and am really interested in Pharmacy. It seems like an interesting and rewarding career. At this age, it seems like another career that I 'missed the boat' on. How can I become a Pharmacist without going back to college until I'm 32?

I am waiting on a W-2 from a job I worked most of the year at...I did a ruff draft to see that if I didn't claim the W-2 I would get $5000 but if I did then I'd only get $2500...I need the money more this year then I will next so I was wondering if it was LEGAL to wait and file the W-2 with next years taxes.

I filed for Chap 7 bankruptcy before the law changed in 2005. My house went into foreclosure but was covered in the bankruptcy because I knew I couldn't afford to keep it even after the filing. I am of the understanding from the attny that I DON'T have to report this, but a CPA is sayin it is included. I am totally confused and wish that people in the legal field and cpas would make agreements on the law.

I am being offered an opportunity to buy a percentage of a business. I would be required to sign a promisory note with seven equal annual payments. The money to make the payments will come from my share of the annual net profits of the business over the seven years. My question is, will I incur an income tax liability on my annual share of the profits when that money is used as the payment of the promisory note.

I have a 17 yr old son who earned $1200 at a PT job in 2006. I know that I can claim him on my return as he is a FT student living with me.

Question - if I do claim him do I have to add his income to my return?

Question 2 - If he files his own return can I still claim him on mine?

Please advise.

I build new houses and remodel existing ones to own and rent out. During the construction process I have expenses uncommon to managing rentals. Even though I take no salary and do as much work as possible on each project, we still have a negative cash flow. After adding up the losses and deperciation, it offsetts my wifes income so we get all of her taxes back. Based on rental rates in our area, we calculate that it will take about 3 years for a property to break even. So we should be turning a profit in tax year 08. To take full advantage of the tax code while depreciating the buildings and then selling them in the future, Is there an advantage to holding these properties as personnel investments or should I form a business that builds and manages real estate?
