My insurance company is giving me a check and will be reported as a 1099-MISC to reimburse me for the taxes i will have to pay the IRS because of a mistake that was made by them.

Being that this check is being dispersed to me to repay the tax consequences I will incur due to their mistake, I want to make sure im not going to be responsible for any additional taxes on this reimbursement amount.

Can anyone clarify how this amount will be treated or if there are any special steps or notations i should make when I file my return?

my employer will not allow me to report tips to have taxes deducted from my paycheck. Is this Legal in Pa.? If so, is there a way I can fill out my W-4 form to save me from paying out at the end of the year? Can I guestimate how much I will make each pay period and enter that amount in the extra $$ withheld each pay box on the W-4 form? My employer is foriegn and is tax exempt I guess because they told me not to worry about reporting tips. They said I do not need to because it is a family owned business. Is there any possible way this is true? I have asked several other servers (that are not tax exempt) how they report their tips and they all said they don't. This really bothers me. What they do is their business but, I have a little girl and cannot afford to pay out at the end of the year. Any help or any ideas on where to get help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all in advance!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember reading somewhere that Otvos is a pyramid scheme involving door-to-door sales, but I'm not sure if this is the same company I heard about.

Please share any information you may know about this company, thanks!

My family and I do not shop at wal-mart. Because of the way they treat their employees and the fact that most of them are non-union. Also when they crush the competition they do raise their prices back up at that store. Target, Kmart, Shopko and Meijer's are the same price if not cheaper.
So I was wondering how many other people do not shop there.
And if you do shop there why?

Best meaning that you are not paying a lot to the broker like a discount brokerage place. Also places that have the smallest minimums. Also are there any stocks that look outstanding to you for quick growth soon?

How much would you spend right away? How much would you save? What would you spend it on??? Also, if you didnt touch ANY of the money, every year that you saved the million dollars, you would make another half a million. So for example if you saved the million for 2 years, you would have 2 million in the bank. But this would only happen if you didnt touch it. If you didnt touch it, you would still have to work for a living. Would this be hard for you knowing that you were rich and had money readily available to you? Once u touched the money, you couldnt get the "year of savings" deal any longer... give me your thoughts :)

I'm thinking about hiring employees even though I'm in business as sole proprietor. I plan to change to LLC when resources allow. Need to know how much % I should set aside for employee overhead costs. I have heard 15% and 25% and need to know before I enter into an agreement for aditional work that will require more help. If I pay said employee $15 hr. how much would I need to charge to cover state - fed amounts? I also plan on getting an accountant after I know this is in contract, and will be able to afford their service. If I'm not mistaken self employment taxes are around 15%, but does that rule hold true for employees, or is it more?

My sister was allowed to move into an apartment based on the fact that I would be cosigning. I never spoke to her landlord and he never sent me any papers until about 1 1/2 months after she moved in....At that point my sister was already late on her rent and we had decided that she would get someone else to cosign for her. Now her landlord is taking me to small claims court for her remaining charges. He states that I filled out an application, but all I did was write down my contact information....I NEVER had a verbal or written agreement to be cosigner. AM I LIABLE?

Are the homeowners stuck with paying the 50% gift tax as if they won a Corvette on a game show? How do they afford the increase in their property taxes after the show has increased the value of their homes? These people couldn't afford to make the improvements themselves....that's why the show does it for them. But, that's JUST like winning money/prizes on a game show. You have to pay gift taxes on that stuff. How many families have had to sell the house because they couldn't afford the increased property tax due to the increased value of the house??

I have 2 yrs exp. in Office Administration. I live & work in Toronto. I just got offered a job. I went for the interview, was told the next day that they found someone else with more experience, so they can't hire me. 2 days after the called me back, asked if i could start work the next day. At the interview, i was told that they pay within $26k range. But today he mentioned that the job is actually $12/hr which makes it $23k. Is this normal or what?
