I'm a Locum Tenens employee working in California while maintaining my tax home in Arizona. I imagine I file non-resident CA income taxes, but do I also have to file AZ state taxes? Doesn't seem fair if I have to pay twice!

I ordered a camera from Tiger Direct and canceled it the next day. Three weeks later they sent me an email saying they shipped it to me anyway. They charged my credit card for it and I still have not received the package. They insist that it's coming but I don't think they sent it at all. How do I file a complaint against them?

As a loan officer, there are times that we can't do nothing for clients because of lack of value in the home or very bad credit or whatnot. What are other ways for these home owners to keep their homes from being foreclosed?

I filed for chpt.13 in Nov 2006. I am paying a 1500.00 mortgage, and a 1400.00 payment on the Chpt. 13 repayment plan. I have had tremendous trouble keeping up with the trustee payments.My Bankruptcy lawyer contacted me and said the trustee is going to close my case on monday unless I pay a back fee of 4500.00. Needless to say I dont have the money. I have a house on the market and a closing date of Sept 14th. The lawyer suggested that I let the trustee close the case and go to settlement on the set date to save me some money. My question is I have a vehicle and back taxes in the Chpt.13 plan. How does that factor in after the sale of the house? The lawyer suggests getting a tax attorney for the back taxes I owe. So what about the car? Also, since the trustee is going to drop the plan on Monday, what does this mean in terms of my credit and how it is reflected on my credit report. Is it still reflected as an open bankruptsy? Also, what about the money i paid into the plan? Help!

I was hoping that our people in office are not getting paid until the budget is signed. So that they can do without things, like the people that put them in 0ffice have to do. Until the budget is signed. Thank you, and I hope that you have a great day. karen

I worked 78 hours in one week. 38 hours were time and a half. My government deductions were 27% of my pay versus 17% when I work straight time 40 hours. I understand that FICA and MEDICARE are a flat 6.2% and 1.45%, respectively. I understand my taxed amount per year to be based on my AGI and that what is taken from my paycheck is an estimate of 1/52nd of that year (52 weeks; I'm paid weekly). Many of my friends say that working many hours of OT is not worth it because the goverment takes more. The government is taking more according to my paychecks...from 10.9% with 16.25 OT hrs to 14.3% for 38 OT hrs. It seems like there is less tax incentive to make more especially if you have few itemized deductions as a result of no investments or property. I made 29% more take home pay so more time is more $, obviously. Let's say Chris made $1000 gross in straight time and ot and Mike made $1000 gross in straight time. Question rephrased: Do they pay the same amount in taxes?

This is a general academic question.

The politics and government immigration forum has spirited discussions about these sort of things, but if there is any tax expertise, it does not show.

Since people seem most concerned about aliens getting benefits, I am wondering if imposing a special tax to offset these concerns might be a valid policy option.
