Business & Finance - 4 December 2007

Alright here's whats happening, I sent about 10 resumes out on Monday and got a response for two jobs by Wednesday (today) and one of them, i have an interview for tomorrow. The thing is, the work hours really aren't what i am looking for, but i am desperate for a job in the finance industry and this jobs gives me exposure. The thing is, this job starts on Monday and over the phone, it sounded like they were kind of desperate to get me to start work asap. . I sent out 10 resumes and have only got back two responses so far (2days) so i do expect more in the coming week or so. I don't want to start and then have to leave the job if i find something better for me. Since this job isn't my first choice, i want to know what kind of options i have.

I no longer have a renter and am concerned about my bills. I know enough to pay the most important first, i.e., mortgage, utilities, auto,etc. The key is that I am not sure I will be able to keep up with my credit cards. I only have two but they are large balances. One is American Express, $5800., and a Mastercard, $3000. What happens if I am unable to pay? I own my own condo and make mortgage payments and need to keep my car. Any sugestions.

My niece has just received a job offer in the city where I live. She would like to relocate here. She had a phone interview with the president of a company here and I noticed in the string of emails (which she sent me) that she sent him two recent pictures. He must have asked her for them over the phone, because I didn't see a request in the chain of emails.

She is coming to town this week to meet the employer (the president) and the rest of the people she would be working with. I realize that having only had phone contact, that he might be curious as to what she looked like. But I didn't like that she sent him pictures. Am I being too paranoid?

Please, serious answers only.

I need to borrow a large amount of money from a friend. Its greater than 12K but less than 100K. My generous friend has agreed this will be an interest-free loan and I plan on paying it back in less than a year. However I've read that the IRS will still imposed an applicable federal interest rate on my friend for lending me the money. Is there anyway he can avoid reporting the IRS imposed interest? Maybe report it as a gift?
We thought about not reporting anything to the IRS but we're afraid the IRS may catch wind of the large bank transaction and give us a big headache later. OR maybe they won't....
Does anyone have any prior experience? I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,

Should I apply again for an job that I scheduled an interview with, but then backed out and left a message that I decided not to persue the position. Today they posted the position again on their website, and I was having second thoughts. Stupid of me to cancel, I know. What do you all think?

Thanks.

My wife and I have always claimed 0 dependants and gotten the maximum amount taken out of our checks every week. I recently realized that in essence, we've been giving the government interest free loans for years. I decided that I would rather claim 10 dependants and withhold NO taxes. If I instead invested that money into a secure high interest savings account (such as a 4.5% savings account) I could instead reap the benefits of my earned income, and pay Uncle Sam his due January of the following year. I also wouldn't have to worry about waiting for the inept IRS to give me my refund, as it would be on hand.

Well, someone informed me that this doesn't work. They said Uncle Sam feels like he should have his portion throughout the year, not at the end. So my question would be, is there any way to LEGALLY do this? If I have to file a W-4, is there a way to possibly pay quarterly, so that I can earn interest on it as long as possible, then turn it in at the last minute?

Thanks!

I know that the 16th authorizes the government to levy taxes on income, that is not the issue, the issue is that wages earned from working is not income, it is technically an equal exchange of capital for labor. This may seem inconsequential, but I wanted to know if anyone has evidence to the contrary. Peace.

Im the senator of NY in mock congress in my gov. class and im trying to create a bill that the tax cuts should be equal for everyone. Can someone help me learn more about this, if we make it equal for everyone, does that mean property tax goes up or sales tax?, what else should be taken into consideration? This is obviously a republican view and its just for my government class so don't get nasty please lol.

I do not have any of these duties in writting also the landlord(s) list both of their names on the lease but only of the landlords signed it.

We were seperated the following tax year but not divorced, he was audited for filing single with 2 dependents. I filed with turbo tax and did the status and dependents according to how it guided me. Well it did not get into enough detail with turbo tax and it guided me wrong stating that he could file the kids on his taxes if they lived with him for 6 months out of the year. My two children are by someone else and he claims them every year with no problem. The IRS said that since they were not his blood relatives he could not claim them and now he is disqulified from the earned credit for 5 years. This coming January we have to file married joint and I was wondering if we would get the earned income tax for my kids even though he is disqualified.
