Business & Finance - 5 September 2007

I have to take a drug test for a pre-trial program that I am doing Friday morning.

I smoked weed everday for about 3-4 months. I quit on August 13th (the last time I smoked) and today is September 6. I will be going to take the test on September the 7th.

It will have been 25 days on Friday that I have been clean. Should I be worried or not, just by your estimates?

thanks in advance, and yes I have taken this time to stop for good.

I have recently been employed as a manager of a boutique. With the contract signed, stated that termation of employment should be given 1 month notice by either party. After 2 weeks, she hired another person to replace my position and offered me a different position with lesser salary and wanted to redo the agreement she gave to me. But isn't it stated that she should give me 1 month notice? I understand that she wants the best person to run the business coz I had owned a boutique before, but I think this is unprofessional.

My father passed away two weeks ago in NC. I am living abroad. I flew home for a memorial service arranged by his girlfriend of 30 years. The girlfriend had keys to his apt and car and said that she would liquidate his estate, and that she had a Power of Attorney. She was not cooperative and did not want to share information. She gave me some family photos, my Dad's Bible, and his jewelry box. She paid for memorial service and cremation.

Should I hire an attorney to freeze his assets until the estate can be properly probated?

My Dad did not own much, but owed my $6000 for a car that he bought from me. I have the bill of sale and payment history.

Also, I don't want to find out that I owe medical bills, taxes, or other debts of my father's down the road. The family believes that he was debt-free, but we are not sure.....

is this is a state assessed property tax? i get a statement from the County, but wasn't sure if this was on behalf of the State? Wanted to clear up that this is not a county, but rather state assessed tax.
is this a one time event, in that following payment of the supplement tax, we should receive only 1 annual statement..

My brother is working cash in hand and has been for over a year... With no contract.. (he likes the job etc and for obvious reasons hasnt questioned the employer!)

I worry for him that if the Inland revenue came calling, it'd be him that got in trouble..Though he's adament it'd be the employer.... Who's actually liable for fraud in this situation?? Both?

I am work four, ten hour shifts, Tuesday through Friday. I love my job and I get a long with the people at work.

Because, they are looking at a supervisor who may quit, they have offered me the postion. The new hours would be Thursday through Sunday. There is a different dynamics of expectations, for me are not as enjoyable, by working the weekend shift. Business are closed down there limited activity. When there is an event I would be responpible to run the entire event, which place me in a gofer boy postion.

The reasons why I am offerred the postiions was because I am I can follow directions and I show up to work. I have office key, so the trust is there. I have no gift I am offer the company at the position and there was not learning challenge for me to take on, the new postion.

The only weenie I am being given is an extra $1.60 per hour and the title. Is this worth it?

I temp for a big company & get asked to come back quite often to be their temp sec. I'm in booking at the moment where I've always known the boss to be offhand (his perm sec has told me). However, he's always been nice to me. He'll say to me, "Don't be nervous to approach me on the phone" & "Let's walk over to the other building together & I'll give you my tape to type". He used to be pretty friendly & just give the occasional tap on the shoulder as his greeting (nothing more than friendly). Sometimes I can see him looking at me at the corner of my eye from another desk. He's complimented me on one occasion how good my typing is. However, I've seen another side to him of late. I went to the toilet & when I got back he had taken my chair, sat on it at another desk (a pet hate of mine) & I was left standing at my desk! It took several minutes for him to give it me back. He was quite curt.

i bought a 2000 alero for 4500 bucks, 4 months ago
well it started having problems in july, i took it to the shop they found the problem and fixed it cost me another 1200 bucks, not to mention the 400 bucks i had already put into it to replace a couple other parts.
now get this one i put not quite 3000 miles on the motor and the other day it blew up threw a rod so now i have to replace the motor in the car at a cost of 2 or 3 thousand more dollars.

the afore mentiond problems were there when i bought the car but i did not know that the mehcanic said they were there and just got worse after i bought the car.

so what course of action can i take towards the dealer that sold me the worthless peice of crap and called it a good car?

the only warenty he gave me was 30 days or 2000 miles whichever comes first, so that meant that after 30 days the warently was worthless right?

and the first of the problems showed up on day 31!

so iam just wondering what i can do ?

i really need income of my own at age 32 its embarrassing to have to depend on mom and dad and what i can make doing odd jobs for people.

i held down a job for 12 yrs but it was the only one i ever had and well losing it devestated me at the time and its taken me a very long time to get up my nerve again to really dive in and try for a job with all my might.

i do have disablity that keeps me from certain types of work.

i have almost finsihed a collage degree and i hope to finish that in the near future.

I was employed by a company for 5 years. I had recvd W2's for 4 years the last year after I had left the company they issues a 1099-MISC for all of my earnings. I contacted them and they are not willing to correct the problem. Does anyone know of how I would dispute this 1099 with the IRS directly and I am aware of the ss-8 but that is not really disputing a past 1099-MISC. Any advice ?

2007-09-05 19:34:25 · 6 answers · asked by Taurusluvguy 1 in United States

okay, last year I worked 2 jobs.

One at a FF place that gave me a W2

515.92- Wages
26.11- Federal Income Tax Withheld
7.47- Medicare

then the other job as an independent contractor that gave me a 1099-misc

3770.00 Non-Employee compensation

-------------------------...

I tried so hard to file, I did so much research and I just couldn't figure it out (which made me feel real bad beacuse I'm going to school for accounting but we haven't covered tax yet.) the problem was that I was not only working with a 1099 that did int take any income tax out (I received full cash at that job), I could have handled that, but It got really complicated with the regular W2 thrown in.

One form said that I owed 500 dollars... I was completely broke at the time (and Had just lost the 2nd job) so I had no way of paying

that year I went from 17yrsold to 18, I'm a full time student (went from HS to college that year) and I have no dependents beacuse I still live with my parents.

I remember hearing that there was a cutoff where If you made so little you didin't have to file, I looked it up and I can't remember the exact figure But I was below it

(I only made like 4grand in a year after all)

I just didint send anything In...at all. I haven't heard anything from the IRS and I haven't received any letters or anything, but I remember stories about people who don't file for years, and then when they do file thats when the computer system gets them.I live in NC btw, am I screwed??
