I have a QTP (529 plan) for my daughter. Are any of the contributions I made during the year able to be written off in whole or in part on my personal income taxes? If so, how/where would I do this...it is for tax year 2006. Thanks in advance!

I dunno if that makes very much sense, but what I'm getting at is if they can hold your last paycheck from you? If thats even possible what are the stipulations?

For the four years we were together, I lent him money, and occasionally, he'd pay it back. When we moved out of state, I put him under my credit and let him use the card with his name so that he could buy things he needed. however, he racked up the credit card, and left me owing $2400. I've been struggling to make the payments every month, and now with school starting, I can barely pay as it is.
He answered my emails (ie= myspace) that he would pay it back, but it's been a year and nothing. He moved back to CA, and I am now in Texas. WTH do I do??

We received a tax bill for 2005 from Michigan in the amout of $6,000. While I'm not even sure whether or not that money is actually owed to begin with, the main concern I have is this:

The letter advised that they could garnish wages, put a tax lein on any property we owned, or seize money from bank accounts if we don't pay it immediately.

Unfortunately, my husband and I are both unemployed right now (both laid off earlier this summer). So, there are no wages to garnish. And, after a few months of unemployment, savings account has dwindled - there isn't really anything left there for them to take. What little we have left is what we need to feed our family until at least one of us lands another full time job. (The job market in our area is horrendous)

We do have considerable equity in our home - I suppose a lein would be the state's best option to secure the amount they say is owed

Since we don't live in/own real estate in MI, will they be able to put a lein on our Ohio home?

This is a difficult situation. We own a piece of undeveloped land in FL and are considering selling to put a down payment on a house in CA. We have owned it for about 14 years. My husband is military and a FL resident. We currently are stationed in CA and I am a CA resident. The land is a joint tenancy. FL doesn't have a capital gains tax, but CA does. So I am guessing that we have to split the gain 50/50 and have 50% taxed by the state of CA. We are trying to use an online capital gains tax calculator to figure how much we will have to pay.

We had an assesment to pave the street. Would that be an improvement cost?

Also, the state bought a small portion to widen a highway. Would the money they paid us be deducted from the basis?

How do you come up with the depreciation? My property value has went up (according to the county assessment).

How do you figure out what the tax rate is on the gain?

I know this is tough one, but I appreciate all the help.

i'm in a very tricky situation that i don't know how to overcome,.A recruitment agency has offered me a temporary 2 week work period job starting tommorrow.I gladly accepted not knowing that i wasn't able to take this job cos of my studies.Now i want to ring her up to say i can't take it anymore cos i'm busy.But i feel really bad, cos she has been very nice and polite to me offering this kind of work.

I don't get the guy. Sometimes he can be very nice and other times he is an ***!!! Today he was joking about getting one of the interns fired. Hey! I am sitting right next to you and I am an intern also. How do you think that makes me feel. I wonder want kind of crap they talk behind my back. I think he is nice because it is appropriate and that it is his job. Went he is like that his cuteness disappears and out steps the beast. How should I react to this? What are the rules? He pisses me off!!! He is older than I am. He's cute. That JERK!!!
