Father bought home in 1985, listing daughter as joint tenant with him. Father dies in 2007.

What is daughter's basis?
-- What father paid in 1985
-- 1/2 of what father paid in 1985
-- stepped up to 2007

Am I correct that, if no stepped up basis, there would be a 15% tax on the LT gain?

I'm wondering if reusing pieces of text from reports is a common business practice in the USA. If students in school copy from their school papers or journalists copy from previously written articles, it's often considered plagiarism. But I'm wondering if expectations and practices in the business world are different. What's your experience with this practice?

Hello everyone. I already saw this property (condo) on sale for $125,000 and common charges $435.23. The condo however, is already tenant occupied paying $1150.00 rent/monthly which doesn't bother me at all. The bank is willing to offer me a mortgage of $100,000 and in addition, $8,000 grant for closing costs because is my first time buying. To be honest, I would rather have the condo rented out instead of living in it. Will I have problems with the bank free grant ($8,000) if I am not living in the condo as my primary residency? Can I tell them that I do not want to live in it at the moment but probably in two to three years?

I want to file an ammended return for 2005. In 2005 the preparer had my status married filing separate.In 2006 I filed taxes myself as Head of Household. I was audited for 2006 earlier this year and the IRS approved my Head of Houshold status. My situation in 2005 was exactly the same as it is now and in 2006 so I want to file the ammended return. I have the 1040x form and I'm wondering what all needs to be filled out. It looks likes like the only section that is required for me to fill out is the filing status and section 2 a written explanation.Does anyone know what all I need to fill out on the form? It's a bit confusing. Thanks

I have a software degree and want to get into programming. Most programming jobs are looking for 2yrs experience in programming, but i have 2yrs exp in tech support.
Would getting a software tester job first be a good stepping stone between tech support and programming? They dont seem to require as much experience, so im more hopeful of being able to get a job.

I am in a dispute with my former employer regarding unemployment benefits. I don't know what the human resources department will say about me and I have thought about asking prospective employers not to contact them. What do managers usually think when you ask them not to contact your previous employer?

Someone told me today he saw something about mortgage rates going down. I locked my rate already, but what are the chances of getting a lower rate now that they are down? I don't close on my house until 12/10/07. Am I still able to get the lower rate if I locked it, but haven't closed? Thanks.

Our buyers wanted to close on our house in 28 days. The contract went back and forth, and the home owner documents sent. One week prior to closing, they pulled out of the contract. Do we have any legal recourse ?

I am actually posting this for my dad. His credit was 750 about 6 months ago and now its only 668. On his report it says he has about 28 recent inquries. The thing is that he owns a corporation and has over 80 employees. Anytime a car is bought or a loan is taken out for the business it goes on his credit.

Is there a way to fix his credit, he has perfect payment history for the last 20 years, owned multiple million dollar homes etc.

We are in the process of buying a duplex that will be finished in January. We are going to live in one side and rent out the other. What is the best way to determine how much to charge for rent. The neighborhood has a lot of other duplexes but they are 20+ years old and 300+ sq ft smaller. So comparing the new with the old is a little difficult.

Thanks for your answers!

i lied on a resume to bridge a few months of not working. i said i worked at a company for a few months more than i actually did. is there anyway the new company can check, besides asking an old manager directly?...should i just not list a phone number on the old job if i ever have to write down the reference, it was from 2 years ago.

i hate lying and i regret putting that on the resume, is it common for people to do?
