Hi,
We gave a piece of land to our daughter, who is receiving NC state assistance(money) for herself and her two children. Since then we have found out she can not have property valued over $2000.00 and not live on the land. The land is used for farming and until her sister built a house on the piece of land next to Margaret's track of land, (that is still used for farming) wasn't really valued at much. .All the land was farm land to begin with that has been in the Warren family for over 150 years. My husband wanted to go ahead and give his girls the farm and he divided it three ways as a gift. Now she is all upset about us giving her the land and her not being able to get the help she needs to help raise her girls. She is a totally disabled person and unable to work. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help us figure this one out. How do we take the land back without it appearing as if we are trying to defraud the State of NC????
Thanks, Judy Warren

In 2004 he sold a home he bought about 20 years before. He lived in and out finally, in 2003 the renters moved out and he ended up paying the mortgage until he sold it. He has not filed in 2004. With some of that money he bought a duplex and in that same year 2005 he refinanced his condo. in 2006 he sold his condo and in 2007 he refinanced the duplex. He now lived in one of the duplex by the way. I am telling him he has to pay some money back to the IRS because he sold a rental home. He lost alot of money on 2004 due to the fact that no one was living in the home and he was paying two mortages. My question is ....Is he going to have to pay a big chunck on money? Does anyone recommend a website we can visit or a phone number we can call. I told him to do the 1099 but he needed to pay off the people he owed money. This guy has not filed since 2004......Please help.

I just find it funny how our country, America, is run by the rich/wealthy and how most of the tax laws favor the poor or the rich. If you are rich and pay all of your federal income tax (the total amount; cap. Forgot what the personal cap is, sorry), you no longer are required to pay Federal Income Tax. If you are poor, there are loopholes where you can pay less tax. Also, if you are poor, you also receive help from the government and other special fundings! However, if you are in the Middle Class, the tax laws require you to pay very high Federal Income Tax and there are absolutely no loopholes, in which one can reduce the amount paid back to the government. Plus, the government is always concerned with the welfare of the poor and the rich, but never seems to care about the Middle Class. As of right now, the Middle Class is already in the process of being slowly eliminated once again, by tax laws and other laws and regulations.

What are you beliefs on this topic?

I gave my boss notice that I was leaving for graduate school in two weeks - although he and my supervisor have know for over two months. I am very behind on paperwork and other duties, but I have no time to finish them - I have told my supervisor repeatedly that I am swamped. He has threatened that if I do not finish them before I go, he will call my new graduate school and tell them that I am unethical. Is this legal? Can he do that since it's not a new job, but rather school? I am moving many hours away for school, so it's not like I will be able to help finish up the work after I move. Please help!

A friend of mine is in the process of buying a new house from a well known construction company only to discover that the seller has a clause in the agreement which allows them to use photos of the property for advertising after it has been sold and he becomes the legal owner. What legal right does the company have, he wants to remove this clause?

My answer is: start over again from the very beginning. Do not create separate categories such as Captial Gains. Qualifying and Non-qualifying dividends. Interest is taxable, also Dividend income. Gain on sale of a house should have no limit. All those with incomes in excess of $200,000 taxable.

I've just started doing some freelance work for a company and am not sure how much to save for my tax bill. I will probably earn around £1,500 a month before tax. This is my only job. I heard somewhere that I should save around 28%, does this sound about right? Better to be safer than have to fork out a wad at the end of the tax year!
