What should I ask them? I just want the job! I need it to help pay for college. My availability is great. I don't know why they didn't call back yet.

Both IRAs have advantages and I know that tax rates are not predictable. I am age 54 and I need to know which one is better over the next 10 years to take me into retirement.

My employer did not give employees a lunch in the 8 hr work day. The state requires all employees to have a 30 min break/lunch after 5 hrs of work. There was a lawsuit against my employer and they are back paying each employee as part of the settlement. Will I or should I be taxed on this check I will receive? If it is taxable, any ways to reduce the tax?

There is a' Business to Consumer' regulation but Business to business distance selling is exempt from this regulation. Does anyone know what regulations/legislations the seller has to comply to with a sale that was made over the phone that we are in dispute with ? I have found many people are complaining about the same company !

I am a non-resident who worked in the USA for three consecutive years for 4 months. After filing for a tax return after my last year (2006) I found out that my tax preparer has filed for $0 taxable income ($6100 gross income) and therefore I got 100% of the taxes paid as a refund. I know that non-residents are not entitled to all of the tax exemptions and deductions as US citizens and residents are and were very surprised. I thought that my tax preparer could be incorrectly filed for me as a resident, until I found out that:

The Green Card Test - You are considered a U.S. resident for tax purposes beginning on the day you are issued an alien registration card by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Use Form 1040: U.S. Individual Income Tax Return to prepare and file your taxes.

The Substantial Presence Test - You are considered a U.S. resident for tax purposes if you were physically present in the U.S. for at least:

31 days of the current year, and
183 days of the three-year period that includes the current year and the two years immediately preceding, including:
- all of the days you were present in the current year (2006)

- 1/3 of the days you were present in the first preceding year (2005)

- 1/6 of the days you were present in the second preceding year (2004)


Does this mean that every non-resident, who has stayed for more than 31 days in the USA during any calendar year, could be considered as a resident for tax purposes and therefore could take advantage of all exemptions and deductions, which residents and citizens are entitled to?
Are non-residents generally entitled to itemized standard deductions and personal exemption deductions?

I see and hear mixed numbers from $15 per hour to $35k to $40k a year (which does not seem much if this means full time work, but for part time work it's fine). I also have seen over $65k per year. Why the great mixed numbers? Does this depend which company and how many hours you work per week?
