I have a question about when I file my taxes. O.K. First I been claiming my niece for the past 2 years and this year I only been working for about a month and been getting unemployment for half the year but I've been taking care of my niece because my sister is young and has no job and my niece father is a Loser, and with my jobs and even my little unemployment checks and been doing everything for her from clothes to diapers anything she needs. well the question is when I claim her I get a nice amount of money back but is that because I work most of the year. will it drop since I only work about 1 month this year and collected unemployment for the rest?

There's not too much in there. My penalty would be $550 but my credit card debt is over 10K. I'd like to pay off at least half. Currently a student so paying credit card is a chore. Working only part time now.

Credit card A: about 9.99% interest on 5K owed.
Credit card B about 14% interest on 6K owed.

Also, is it wise to open another (third) credit card with 0% interest to put the remainder of my cc balances? My credit card B was opened for that purpose but the date has passed so the APR is now at 14%. And when is it good to close an account, better to leave open with a zero balance?

AND they can't use school busses this year, so they will have to RENT buses... What's a trip to the zoo going to cost? $135??? SHEESH !!!

I know I was able to deduct my son's preschool tuition, but didnt' deduct any extras, so now I'm wondering.

They say I only had five days to return the equipment. Antenna and modem. I mailed the modem and ask they pick up the antenna. They failed to pick up the antenna stating I was not home. The antenna was easily accessible on a pole in my driveway. Now they have turned me over to collections without the 10 day grace period. If I dispute the debt with the collector can they continue collections? What recourse do I have?

I'm trying to buy somtihng on ebay, and i even asked the seller, and he said he accepts international money order, but not postal money order. So what's the difference between just money order and postal money order?

How do i even DO a money order?

so does that mean he will accept "international postal money order" or not?

does postal money order mean "thru the post office?"
so where do you do the money order? online? a post office? where? is there a age limit?

PLEASE HEELLLLP
thanks

I applied for 3 credit cards at about the same time 2 years ago. They all got maxed out, and I never paid any of them after a while, and they got sent to collections. I paid off one, but it didn't seem to help me any in terms of the score. Will paying off the others help? I need to raise my score, but if paying them off won't help me I'd rather wait until I had a good paying job to settle them. I am on the phone with one of the credit people now as I type, but I need assistance on what to do ASAP!!! Please help!!!

Will the FDIC cover me for just the face value of the CD, or also the interest?
For example, with a $10,000 CD that yeilds 5% percent interest, if the bank goes under, will the FDIC coverage provide me with just $10,000 for the CD, or $10,500 for the CD plus interest?

I would prefer to use BT or a name I can trust but would rather pay £15 a month rather than £40+ which is what I have found so far. It will only be used by one person for a few hours a day.

Tomorrow I have an interview with a celebrity actor to be their personal assistant. Should I hide the fact that I'm pursuing acting as a career and that I have an agent and have experience and am a member of the Screen Actor's Guild and that I go on auditions or is it ok that I reveal this info as long as I make it clear that I'm not looking to be discovered while working for them, I'm just there to soak up the knowledge and gain experience. Or should I just hide the fact I'm an actor and say that I'm unsure what I want to do in the entertainment industry but I have many interests acting, producing, directing...
