I was hired to work for a company and I have been receiving checks from him without taxes being taken out. Here are a couple things...

1) I am just myself, no wife and kids... doing a 1099 though I have not filled anything out yet...(make sense?)
2) I was called to get general liability insurance so when his company is audited, I have proof. He gave me another option of going under his but ... I would still pay?? I figure that should be his doing
3) The company I work represent is his side company but I receive checks from a ceiling company he owns, again this is a tax free check.

Question part B
I don't think I am being screwed but my guess is he's saving his *** from the audit, correct? Well how is it that I need GL insurance when I don't have a company or anything of that sort?

ok, so I work for the school paper, but our school can't affort to bring it out in color, so it's black and white.
however, we really want it in color, so we want to find companies to sponsor us, in exchange of a advertisement or something in our schoolpaper.
any thoughts on how we may handle this?

I am going to be graduating in Feruary of 08 with my Bachlors degree. Most of the jobs that I would like to apply for require a Bachlors degree.
My question is do you think that I should apply for those positions now, or should I wait till I have my degree?

I have recently found out that my FICO score dropped after I was added to my husband's new credit cards as an "authorized user". If I remove my name out of his 2 credit cards, will my FICO score be back as before?

I need to know if it's as bad as everyone says it is. I want your experience and what chapter you filed.

Thanks. I just want to be debt free. I dont even care about my credit anymore. I have a car loan. I'll just keep it and still pay it and that 'll keep my credit going good right?

Since 1992 through 1998 I was in college. I did not work and took out financial loans to pay for college costs. I did not file tax return for those years, should I have?

Since 1998 to 2004 I worked low paying jobs and everytime I would walk into a Tax Preparation office to file a tax return, the tax preparer would state 'You can file BUT you didn't make enough money to file'. What does this mean and what is the income per year that doesn't require you to file a tax return?

In 2005 I worked two salary positions and got scared to death since it has been sooo long since I have filed a tax return, and I did not file. What should I do now?

Since 2005 to 2007, my wife operated a child home daycare and I had no income. If I didn't have a job, do I still have to file a tax return?

Very recently I received an offer from a company and would like to begin working. Is there anything I have to take care of before I receive my W-2 from this employer in January 2008 so I can file for this job? Thanks for anyone who helps me with these questions!

Would it be terribly stupid to take out a small personal loan ($5,000?) and invest maybe half of it in a CD or mutual fund or something else? I'm deeply in debt and need much more income than my job provides.

I know that there are so many variables to consider in this question, but I would like to know a general figure about what to expect. I make less than $21,000/year. I hope to get an Earned Income Credit, as well as deductions for my two children and a home office (room used exclusively for my homebased business). I'm trying to work from home, so I can afford to continue giving my son homebased autism therapy. Do you think my tax refund will be around $3,000? If so, I can use that money each year to prepay a year's worth of rent in a mobile home so that I can continue what I'm doing. Not the typical way of doing things, I know, but I'm just trying to avoid putting my son in a public school autism class, where he wouldn't receive nearly enough individualized attention.
