For my 2006 tax returns, I used a program called Turbotax. Now, my daughter is off to college and we need to view our 2006 file to submit the information for a CSS profile. Every time I log into turbotax I am directed to a screen that asks me for billing information and shipping information. Does this mean I have to buy the program again to see my past years forms? Is there any way to see my past years forms? Thanks for your help in advance.

I retired in Aug. 07. I was enrolled in my company's Medical Reimbursement Plan (FSA) for a total benefit of $500. I was reimbursed for expenses totaling the $500 before my retirement in August. My deductions for the FSA acct. were taken out every pay period (every two weeks). Are the remaining payments for the year after I retired still due? My wife quit a job several years ago and was paid for medical expenses even though she had not paid in the total premium. When she called they told her that's the way it works. I knew you lost your benefit if you didn't incur enough medical expenses but I didn't know it worked in reverse. Does anyone know?

He now wants to apply to Goldman Sachs as a summer intern but is worried that his grades will pull him down. There was no minimum GPA requirements for the internship but he still feels self conscious applying. what should i tell him?

I am a college student who has eighteen credit hours. Next semester, I have every Monday-Friday night available, and weekends open as well.

I currently work at an average chain restaurant and make about 300 a week working about three nights a week. I was thinking about getting another job three nights/days a week at a place like Olive Garden/Red Lobster/etc/etc.

I want to make about 500 a week so I can afford a new car.

I handle stress very well and think I can manage working about 35 hours a week with school.

Should I do another waitressing job, or should I get an easy fun job at the mall?

Any advice would be wonderful!

I just took a payday advance cause I actually need it right now but they told me that they report to my credit and I can turn it into an installment loan how long should I leave it on my credit as an installment loan before paying it off. My credit is pretty bad due to old errors when I was younger. I have paid on my car for a year and a half never late and it is getting better little by little but I just realized this is a some what sound way to build my credit as my weekly payments can be relatively low. I get paid weekly and they only require bi-weekly payments My question is how long should I do this before I see an improvement in my credit?

I'm hoping that someone out there can give me some advise on how to relieve my tax burden or at least direct me somewhere that I can find information. The situation is that my husband and I combined have a taxable income in the low 6-figures. We both have the max withheld from our checks, which takes a CONSIDERABLE chunk of our money bi-weekly, yet we still wind up owing taxes! We also contribute the max to our 401k's yet, in 2006, we wound up with a bill from the wonderful IRS that consumed a full 30% of our savings. How do hard-working people get ahead with this system? We have no children, we don't own a home, and don't really want to for the time being. Is there any other way to find relief? I really feel like I'm just giving money away!

Supposedly I applied for this job via one job site (I use a spam email to send this stuff in case it is fake) and they replied to me today via my regular email (making me think I actually DID apply, as they have my regular email addy)..it's just been awhile and I can't remember, can't find the ad, (I've applied to lots and lots of jobs and this may have been in response to a blind ad, hence I wouldn't know the company name.)

The phone number exists as a land line, can't find any scam info on them online, (but if they are a scam they may have recently changed their name, I don't know), it is work-at-home but their application doesn't ask for typical spam phishing website info (I've seen lots of those phishing scam sites), they pay MONTHLY (this seems odd), no mispellings or weird English phrasing on letter, website fairly new...

How can I tell if this is a scam or legit?

I found one of those websites that list freelance writing jobs (by the project). You have to bid and explain why you'd be the best person for the work. Just to see what would happen, I put in a 'bid' for an assignment to edit a textbook, and listed my writing experience (as did about five other people). I got the assignment which pays a total of $100.00. I happened to have the highest bid too. The job should take about six hours so it's hardly worth the trouble. Are there any sites that offer more 'challenging' assignments, or do they basically work so that the site sponsor (this site, anyway) makes money via a 5% to 6% fee.
