I accepted a better paying job because my common law husband is unable to work due to medical issues. I'm actually only bringing home 600.00 more a month. What deductions should I have taken out of my check to get my tax rate down.

I am presently claiming 0 head of household. In previous years I claimed 1. I used to pay for half of my medical insurance. My present employer pays all of my our medical insurance. I'm not having money into retirement yet but my employer is putting money into my retirement. I just started having 150.00 a month into a medical flex plan. What else can I do to be taxed at a lower rate but not have to pay a bunch of taxes at the end of the year.

It's an unopened box, no gift receipt nor gift receipt and I know the store is selling it and well yeah I know where it was bought. So is it returnable, I was just wondering.

Does anyone know what book stores buy back books?
I don't want to sell them online. I just want to find a place I could drive to where I can give them some books, in exchange for money.

Does the amount of my tax return have any affect on applying for financial aid? And if so, how does it affect it?

I'm totally new to all of this, but my husband and I are going to have the money to start contributing to a Roth IRA starting in January. It's my understanding that we can still contribute to 2007's Roth IRA until April 15th. Should we do that, or just go ahead and put it in for 2008??

(We're using his deployment pay, so we'll have enough to max out both years... I'm just wondering if it's worth it. I'm just starting to learn about all of this.)

Also, after we max out the Roth IRA, where would you recommend putting the rest of our savings? CDs?? We want to be able to take some out for a family car when the time comes, a downpayment on a house, or if an emergency comes up.

Thanks in advance!!

On some days, I start work from 11am till 'Close', and close is anything from around 10.30pm - 12.30am. So, the shift is sometimes 12 hours are more.
We have to take a break of one hour, at approxmiately 3pm. At 4pm, I start work once again, and will sometimes be working from 4pm - 12am, 8 hours without a break.

What am I actually entitled to?

... the lawyers in my town seem very relaxed and friendly. Even the ones who work in "unpleasant" fields such as family law (doing divorces, child support, etc.).

I live in a town of about 35,000 people. Are lawyers in small towns less prone to being stressed out and depressed?

I have been selling on ebay for the last 6 months. I sell mostly high end stuff (iPhones, laptops, ipods, blackberries, Hi-Def camcorders, etc...) What are the advantages or disavantages of selling high-value on Amazon? Is it hard to start selling expensive stuff there (it took me 3 months of selling cheap books and DVD's to build up my feedback on ebay before I started selling higher and higher end stuff)? Is it easy to sell overseas on Amazon (70%) of my sales are overseas right now because of the low value of the dollar. Are there are high risk of buyer fraud like there is on ebay?

I had my daughter back in October. Tax season is coming up and I heard I couldnt claim her without her SS number. Is that true? The hospital usually files for it, but someone misplaces paperwork, etc so nothing ever got filed. Also...how long will it take to get a Social for her, since we need the money as soon as we can for bills. Thanks.
