I'm just getting into the business world so I don't know much about taxes or filing out w-4 forms properly. I'm 19, full time student at the university of colorado and i'm home for the summer working as an intern. I receive hourly pay of $13.45 with a monthly stipend. My parents are still fully supporting me and I work just to get a little extra money. I got my first pay check today and my father pointed out that I must have filled out my w-4 form incorrectly because I was being taxed federal income taxes, SS, federal medicare, CA income taxes, and CA Vol. Disability. (and well thats a pretty big lump of money if you're not making much) I figured out that I won't get any of that money back until I file my tax returns for 07 correct? But when I correct the w-4 what should I put down???

Warning: This year, more middle income families will be unexpectedly subjected to Alternative Minimum Tax just for regular tax preferred items, such as State Tax, Property Tax and personal exemption ($3,400 per person). This will cause tax on top of tax, and seriously jeopardize the middle income families' financial well-being. Are you subjected to it? Check out earlier and do not get caught in surprise next April. Talk to your congressmen and senators to get their support in extending the $62,550 exemption. Do not wait till it is too late!

I put an offer in on a house today, which was accepted. Tuesday we should find out for deffinate about the mortgage (we've got it we are just waiting to know if we have 100% or 105%). I am currently renting so I have nothing to sell on so can move as and when, I just need to know roughly how long a sale take to get to completion as I need to know when to give my notice to my landlord.

I only have about $500 to invest, and my strategy calls for frequent trades; generally penny stocks. I don't need help looking for stocks or doing much research.
I have heard good things about Foliofn, Zecco, BuyandHold, ShareBuilder, Tradeking, and optionsXpress. Are any of these right for me?

Do companies and banks realize who they are trying to advertise to when their ads air during daytime television?

I understand that they want the general public to start thinking of their environmental destruction as "building for tomorrow" and their outsourcing of jobs as "building a global network" but these people will never have any influence on them anyway because people don't even know that things exist outside of Wal-Mart.

Your opinion?

I owe 15 years on this house that I am tired of renting and need to sell it rather quickly. I have a lifelong friend who I trust very much and have agreed to sell him the house on monthly payments until he can get his credit cleaned up or a co-signer. Without going into a long story, his credit is in a mess because of his recent divorce from an ex-wife who ran up thousands of dollars of credit card bills, and other things shortly before she left him for another man. Anyway, I know I will get my money and I know he will eventually get all this cleared up, my question is... I want to protect myself and him by making up some kind of contract that we can each sign and have notorized. What kind of information do I need to include in this? I want a fair contract that protects the BOTH of us. Please offer suggestions. Oh and please, no answers involving NOT selling the house in this manner. I am going to do this, I just need to know how to draw this up. Thank you.

I was told that if you have several high credit limit cards and you transfer balances here and there that you could actually end up using your credit and still not have to put money on the balances until of course you cannot charge anymore. Is this true? Can I transfer balances if I'm in a bind...to hold onto some money then pay the balances off when need be? Is there a good way to manipulate the credit card system?

Thanks. :)

I've noticed that one thing a good businessman should know is the exports and imports of different areas (countries or continents) and how to take advantage of that knowledge. By knowing such information, you'll have key information to the market place. Such information will be useful for making the right investments and doing good business. Is there classes that teaches these things? If there aren't, do you think it's profitable to start a class like this?

Am the original owner of street address. A credit card company sent a customer's cc#, name and address to my address. The envelope was unsealed. Also enclosed was a copy of the letter from the customer asking for some money back , owed from the CC company. The CC company also sent along an application for credit for this person.
I am really ticked and am going to take action, just don't know who I should contact first.
PS. I have an active acct. with this company but owe no money and have already notified the credit bureaus.
