A contestant was held at our work and the prize stated a $5000 celebration. There are only 3 in my dept so we were taken to dinner a very elegant restraunt and then given a $1000 gift card. About 3 weeks ago the corp told us that it was againiest the rules to give us the cards and so they said that they would be added into our income at the end or the year. Well needles to say they did not do it that way. They put it as income on our check and taxed it which needles to say took my whole check. These cards say gift card on them and we could not use the for gas or paying our bills. Only merchandise. Myself and one other person are single parents and live paycheck to paycheck and have no funds to even travel to work,pay bills and with no overtime we can not replace this income to pay our bills because of no overtime available. So is this legal,it was a gift that turned into a nightmare.

I have recieved a couple months back letter from my state addressing that I need to complete my 04 tax return, something I swear I completed. During that time period I was going through a lot of personal problems, death of an uncle and birth of my daughter. Now I recieve a notice of assessment that is slamming me for close to 2k bucks and it puts me in a great bind. Under what grounds can I appeal this in my current situation? Thank you for your time.

I opened a store on eBay selling infant clothing & other baby items. I opened the store in April 2007, I was making around $1,000 a month from April until June 2007 when I put the settings to vacation settings until late August 2007. (My husband was in a car accident, I had to tend to him as well as insurance and lawsuits, so I didn't sell ANYTHING during that time period) This month, I have made around $1,100. I keep record of everything, I use a program through eBay and send everything to QuickBooks online. What EXACTLY do I need to get together and bring in when I have my taxes prepared? This is my first year doing this, and I have NO IDEA what I'm in for! I get a lot of items I resell on eBay, and they all have item numbers. Can I claim that as expenses? And can I just use the item numbers, or how does that work? Also, I am not quite sure how to print out all of my info once I'm in QuickBooks online edition. Any help is appreciated!

Wow I really hate my job. I work at Papa Murphys. I honestly feel like crap every single time i go there and its not rewarding. I get my paycheck and sure keeps me going but crap it sucks. People think its fun making pizza but crap it sucks. having to get it done at a certain time hearing customers mouths and even employees mouths. I have worked there for around 1 month and it sucks. I am already thinking about changing to a different job. I always hear crap about how slow I go considering the fact that all I wnat to do is make sure i am doing it right. Sometimes they do it so quickly they miss something that the customer wanted etc. I am now thinking of getting a job at Albertsons. Wouldnt mind that just clean bathrooms, push carts, and bagging groceries. I would rather do that then this. What do you think?

I have a job interview tomorrow for a part-time position as a secretary. I've done tons of interviews and I always feel unprepaired for them. I never feel like I say what I should say, ask questions that need to be asked or answer the questions properly..
Does anyone have any advice on answers to questions that might be asked or any particular questions that should be asked. Or something I should do to 'win' over the interviewer????
I really want a job and this is a job that I would enjoy doing..So I really want this job and I don't want to screw it up with a bad interview...THANKS!!!

I am playing the mcdonalds game and I have 4 of Park Place. I can't seem to get a Boardwalk. If anyone has Boardwalk, we can claim the prize together and split the money. I know the money will be taxed but part of a million is better than zero of a million! If you have Boardwalk and interested in splitting the money, email me at nonyabusiness74@yahoo.com
