Business & Finance - 1 February 2007

I have had a dividend reinvestment account that has been active for almost 30 years. I sold 3/4 of it in order to purchase a home this year which amounted to about $75,000. According to the cost basis calculator on the tax software I'm using, I will owe about $13,000 - does this sound accurate? I do not have the full purchase history - the stock has gone through several mergers since it was acquired when I was a baby. I hope I'm doing something wrong - any direction would be much appreciated.

would it be a bad thing to type all in CAPS? Just wondering because I think it looks better that way, but I don't know if employers don't like that or not...when I used to work at the bank, we would have to fill out CTR Reports all in caps, even when we issue cashier's checks we had to type all in CAPS. So would that be a bad thing if I filled out an application that way?

I filed my federal and state income taxes on 1/30, and my return was accepted by both agencies.

However, today, 2/1 I received an additional W2. I had completely forgotten I worked for this company and it was brief and the beginning of last year. The difference is about $200 in their favor on each return.

I know I have to file a 1040X, but my return was scheduled to be direct deposited next Friday. Is there any chance they still would, and I just send back the difference? Can I call them to try and get them to release the approval so I can put the new w2 info in, or will they adjust it automatically without a huge wait?

This was an honest mistake and I am so sorry, I just had made some arrangements to pay bills with the refund and hope it will work out. Does anyone have a similar experience?

I'm going to make an appointment with the bank tomorrow anyway but wondered if anyone else had experience with this. Split with my ex 4 years ago and before split we took out a joint loan because of the enormous debt his drinking left us (me) in. Recently his payments have been late going into the joint account but always made it on time for the loan coming off. Today it didn't and I had to put £130 extra from my account to cover it. If he continues being late with payments what will happen? I can't keep covering for his share as well as my own.

Hello. My mother and I recently recieved a very phony-looking and suspicious email from a South African coorporation. They said we'd won 1,000,000 dollars, USD, and that we could fly out to pick it up or give info. it came with lots of numbers, ID's, and it seemed instantly fake and scammy to me, but I want to be sure.

I am paid 9.00 an hour and any hours past 40 hrs a week is considered carry over hrs. for sick time or slow times at work( still work40. My carry over o/t hrs this year is about 800. To prevent paying o/t I have to use a regular hr. if sick or not work. I have been doing this for several years. They just resently brought some one else in and paying him a salary, and he has been given my duties. The management than told me to take 2 weeks off to catch up on o/t. I complained about my hrs. and no o/t some time ago. I think they are tring to work me out without any problems. What can I do and where do I go for help and cause them a problem. I have a lot of o/t that hasn't been covered THANK YOU

With house prices so high, and such large deposits needed, I'm just looking at the alternative options. So I'm just looking at the option of renting a caravan out in a holiday camp abroad.

1) Can I buy a second-hand caravan and rent it out in a holiday site, i.e. Haven?
2) What are the laws?
3) What are the costs like? Rental Income? Ground Rent?
4) What would it cost to have someone look after it for me, and can I be sure I can trust them to look after it for me?
5) What sort of occupancy rates can I expect?
6) Anywhere I can find out more? (anything else I may have missed)

Last year i my neice stayed with me and my mom for about 8 months so i claimed her on my taxes. I got audited and they wanted proof that she stayed with me well that is the problem considering the fact she did not change schools. Well since I did not have any proof she stayed with me i let the deadline on the letter pass. I recently learned that i could have sent in notorized letters from my mother and sister(my neices mother). is it to late to do anything because i received a letter saying i owe $3800?

Assume that I buy an HSA eligible HDHP with a $2000 deductable. As I'm working towards that deductable, do I benefit from the discounted rates that my insurance company negotiates with the healthcare providers, or do I pay the full, non-discounted rates until I reach my deductable?
