There's a possible sale of property from my dad's estate. Property is located in Maine. A potential buyer wants a survey done prior to sale. And he's not committed to purchase - even if a survey is done.
Estimates of anywhere from $4000 to $7000 have been received to perform the survey.
The estate has almost nothing in it to pay for this. Who normally would pay? Would you have any suggestions to get out of this situation?
And let's just say... there sure isn't a heck of a lot of potential buyers in the area.

I worked part-time in 2005, earning about $3000. I foolishly didn't file my taxes. What is the best way to make amends? Can I just use last year's W2 in conjunction with this year's filing, or do I have to file separately?

My husband's employer has offered us health benefits-
I Was a member of Kaiser in Stockton, CA and I was paying 160.00 a month for a "$25.00" deductable plan, I thought I was reasonable.

The packet of info we recieved HAS so many options, HMO, PPO , deductable plan, co payment plan... ARGH! it's too much!

We rarely go tot he DR. Unless it is for Check ups, Birth Contol or emergencies. How do I know what to choose?

For a plan similar to what I had before I was married, it's 324.00 a monh for both of us. is that expensive? it seems so high! ( not including, vision and dental)

My Hubby's Boss doesn't have anyone to explain this info- It's a company of 20 people.

Can any one help me out?

I worked a temporary gig for a friend last year and made about $500. There was very minimal federal tax withheld.

I'm positive that the W2 is going to be late if I receive it at all.

Do I have to wait and include that in our family income or can I just let it go since it is so minimal.

Husband and I file married, joint.

If a small business owner sent out a well-designed e-zine through email and gave a coupon for every person who forwarded the e-zine to 10 other people and CCed the company owner to record who did it, so the owner could give the bonus to the person.

Do you think this would work?

To receive the bonus, the person would have to sign onto an online account of the company's website and have a password for security reasons.

My husband and I need to know what is best for us to do.For about three months he did not get taxes taken out of his pay because he filled out something wrong.Within that time he made maybe only 4000 dollars.I didn't make much last year maybe about 4000 in total(had a baby).I know he would have to pay back taxes but would it effect us dramatically?Should we file seperate to save money or would it be better to file together?we also have a daughter that we will claim.Is there a tax credit for school also?Its a community college, but doesnt that count for like a hope credit or something of that nature? I just would like to know what would be better in our situation.I read in another post that by us being married and filling togeter in some cases can eliminate taxes owed because of the tax credits you get.just need help
THANKS

My wife and I work full time and I have a side business. I am using tax software to do my taxes and I am baffled as to the taxes I owe? If I do not add in my side business income I owe about $700 federal. When I add my side business income, deduct my expenses and deduct my solo 401k contribution, my net side bus income is zero, but now it says I owe over $5000 federal?
Am I missing something. If my side biz made 20k, I had 10k in expenses and I put 10k in the 401k, why am I paying any additional taxes over the $700?
