My employer has cut my hours from 40 to 28 hours. But they have not cut any of my duties and still expect the same amount of work to be done. Is this legal? What can I do about it?

I know that most guys have to wait on lists for years, is it the same with firefighters that move to another state and try to get work in that state?

I'm working at a new job in Kansas City, Missouri, and I'd like to put together a budget, but I'm not sure how much money I'll have to actually work with. Is there a good way to figure out what percentage will be taken from my paycheck to pay federal taxes, state taxes, social security, etc... ?

Im trying to legally get out of I lease of an apartment that the landlord should have never rented to me in the first place. I've already spoke to a lawyer and wont have a problem since the place was illegal to begin with. The landlord told us the other day that he will let us out of the lease if we repaint the one wall that we painted green. We did that and went there to collect our money and break the lease. He told my husband that he was deducting $500 so my husband walked away without anything. In the meantime I saw the apartment listed back in the paper. Can this landlord get someone else to sign the lease while we still technically have a lease at this residence.

I should state that we never even lived there because the place was a mess and everything was broken

I live in the U.S., and I recently participated in a medical study for which I was paid about $5,000. Basically, you are given a trial drug (mine was a generic arthritic pain reliever) and you live in the medical facility for a week or so, with your blood samples taken every so often.

I'm considering doing another one, but a friend of mine mentioned that I might have to pay tax on the amount I earn differently if I do two studies rather than one. He said he thought that if I do only one,II would only pay tax similarly to what it would be if I earned it at a regular job. But if I do two or more, I would have to fill out my federal tax return differently and end up paying tax as if it were a business venture (I would owe far more).

Obviously, I'm less inclined to do another study if I'll take a major hit in taxes on both studies. I'm not asking for any concrete tax advice here, I'm just wondering if there's any validity to what my friend says about doing one versus two.

I'm a self employed property owner. The property that I'm renting is gonna net me about $300,000. This is after everything, and puts me in the 33% federal tax bracket. What are some other tax shelters I can use? If I were to pay an additional $100k toward the principal of my mortgage, could I use that as a deduction?

If so would you be willing to tell me how you like it..?
Is it difficult to work your way up? (I heard avg. turnover is 25%/yr)
How difficult is the work load during tax season?

If your willing to talk about your experiences with me; could you leave a note saying it is okay to e-mail you and ask you about what work is like? If so that would be great.. I'm just wondering about some BASIC things..

We have seen one on at £475K but think it is way over priced. What do they expect the offeres to come in at and what is a respectable bid to put in to negotiate to the lower end of the expected range? We have a completed chain below us and the house is good, but not ideal.
