I recently inherited a house. The value appraised by the county tax office was recently determined. It's about $100K lower than the market value based on an independent survey of comparable homes in the neighborhood done a few months ago. From what others have told me, the county's appraisal for tax purposes is generally much less than the actual market value. Is this true?

I am getting sick of this...all we want to do is cash out and resume our lives, and we get the "we're raising money for Single Mothers Without Spleens, would you like to donate a dollar?" pitch.

I figure personally...if I was going to donate, I'd do it directly for tax purposes.

Both my husband and I work for the same company as general managers for about a year now. We relocated our whole life from LA to San jose. I was managing 1 store and getting paid 45k and my husband was managing 2 for 60k. Then they gave both of us 5 stores to manage together BUT gave us a pay cut me down to 40k and my hubby down to 48k. They company was really struggling but they kept telling us it will get better so we stuck around.(i know thats our fault) they asked us to start laying people off in our stores, so we did. then of course we are under staffed so me and my husband are covering shifts instead of marketing etc.. So saturday we find out they want to fire all of their managers because they think its our fault that we are not making any money for the stores....now my question is, is there anything I can do? I dont think this is fair at all...we bust our butts all day for the stores. none of the other managers work as hard as us. WHAT CAN I DO?

I got an interview coming up for a county government IT job (not contractor position) on the U.S. East coast. What kind of competition should I expect? Will they more than likely do two rounds of interviews? Any advice?

I'll begin by giving a little background on myself. I'm 18 and currently attending a community college with plans of transferring to UC Santa Barbara next year to work on a B.A. in Communications. I have a strong, deep, clear voice and have performed in my high school musicals/plays. I gained a lot of praise about my voice and that heeded me in the direction I'm headed now, which is communications.


However, I'm not sure where my best bets are. I've been told that with my voice I would do great on the radio, acting/TV, or singing. All of which I know are very competitive. I've also heard that the communication degree is one of the easiest to get. So, should I limit myself to just a communication degree? Or would it be wise to double major in Com and perhaps Drama so that I gain acting skills in case I do land a job on camera? Also, what other kinds of careers would be good for someone like me?

I also got into a wreck yesterday...since the insurance company wasnt open to switch the car i was driving to the full coverage will the insurance company honor the full coverage on the other car since they were closed the day of the accident or will it not matter and will not cover the car that was wrecked???

I do vinyl graphics, mostly for businesses (until now under the table) do I need to charge sales tax?

What if I sell on eBay?
What if it's to a business?
What if it's out of state (Ohio)?
Do I charge sales tax for the actual product only, or do I charge sale the for the whole amount including application fees?
Do I need a tax ID from a business if they are tax exempt?

Sorry so many questions, I don't want to mess up.

My ex is moving out leaving me to pay the lease on a house we are renting. He offered to pay December's rent; now says he can only pay a portion. Can he be held responsible for his portion for the 2 years as well, he has not notified the landlord yet. Who should I contact? Should I contact the landlord because I want to stay? Can the landlord sue him or both of us?

Someone told me that before I decide to move to another state I had best secure a job there before I move. Is this possible? Can you interview for a job before you meet the people you'll be working for in person? If so, are there any specific sites I can look at that list employers who do online interviews? Or do I have this scenario wrong and you cannot secure yourself a job in another state until you are actually there (because I'm not talking about just an application but a real interview)?

Sorry if this is loaded. Thank you!

I noticed during open enrollment that my employer did not deduct the right amount for our medical and dental benefit, am I liable for the additional amount or do they have to cover the difference since it is their error? Also, is it advisable that I tell someone and if I am not liable for the difference is there anything I can reference in my defense? Thanks in advance.

I have an investing Question. Regarding like stocks. I'm new to stocks. But I'm wondering something, if you own shares in a company, and say it faces a buyout?

Can I refuse to sell and remain a shareholder (even if the majority of shareholders accept the deal) and the acquiring company is asking to acquire 100% of shares? Or can they force you out at some point basically sending you a check and telling you you're no longer a shareholder?

Example. Say I had shares in Earthlink and suppose Verizon or AT&T etc. decide to buy out Earthlink. Now suppose the majority of shareholders agree they will sell their shares but I don't agree. If I keep my shares even if the company wants 100% ownership can I remain a shareholder indefinitely until I'm *ready* to sell? Or even asking for more $$$ down the road for my shares? Or can the buyer say "All you will get is this much per share, here's your check which you must accept, or we will tally you as uninterested shareholder" or something?

How can I get a job? I am 32 and in college to get a B.A. I have never really worked before because I mooched off my parents, but after I get my B.A. in about a year I'm going to need to work, so I was wondering how could I start working without having any work experience? Any help would be great, thanks.

How should I inquire about employment at a large company by doing a cold calling visit? (A physical visit) What should I say to the receptionist so that she would let me talk to a hiring manager? Or who should I ask for? I’m worried that they would simply tell me to go home and check the openings online. I heard that hiring managers a lot of times don’t look at resumes sent through online job portals, and the only way for hire is to have a contact in the company. I don’t know anyone, so the point of my cold visit to talk to people there. They would all be busy, so how can I get to talk to them? And what should I discuss with them? Job duties descriptions are sometimes abstract, without appearing incompetent, how do I ask about the exact functions? If I don’t know which position to apply for, how can I discuss my possibilities there? What time and day of wk would give me higher chance of success in doing the cold visit? I would like to apply for a salaried position in management. Thx.

Ok my husband worked for Co. that we had wondered whether it was concidered agricultral or not? He was never paid time and a 1/2 just straight time. He drove a tractor mowing and spraying chemicals on pine trees. Worked 8/2004-8/2007 he is no longer there but our son in law is and he just started getting time and a 1/2 on his OT. He said they found out they have to pay it now. Does this mean we may be able to collect our back OT pay? We have questioned them on this many times because some employees did and some didn't???? Doing same job. Figured it was worth checking into since it would have been 5.00$ hr for a avg of about 117 weeks.

I know that when an exchange of assets lacks commercial substance and some cash is received, you would recognize a gain immediately to the extent of the cash received /total consideration received. The rest is deferred. How and when do we recognize this deferred gain?
