So I will be itemizing my deductions for the first time this year because I purchased a house. I have two questions though:

1.Starting in January what 2008 receipts should I begin keeping? Really I'm asking what things I am able to deduct (medical expenses not covered by insurance, association fees, repairs to the house, job related expenses). I'm looking for a pretty general list or where I can go to find one.

2. My boyfriend and I both own the house (both names on deed and mortgage), can we both take the deduction or can we split the deduction? Would it be in our best interest not to share the deduction?

I'm trying to exchange a damaged product for a new one, but I don't have the receipt. I either want to exchange it right there or at least get the receipt so I can verify that I'm within the product's warranty date. I've heard that Wal Mart can look up old receipts and give you a new one. Is this true? I paid with a check. What can I do? The employee that I called at the service desk said they can't,, but it doesn't sound too much like any of the employees really know their stuff.

Okay, so I would like to get an item patent for an idea that I have. Are there any trust worthy investors? I do not want my idea stolen. It has to do with hair products.

Thanks everyone, happy holidays!

someone please help me with this . I've been in my house for4 years. I've rented a RugDoctor 5 times an payed for it, but i want to have this carpet professionally cleaned, since it is over 15 years old. Legally does my landlord have any obligation to pay to either clean or replace the carpet? If so can I just deduct the cleaning bill from the rent? How long can a landlord go legally without cleaning or replacing carpet?Thanks guys ur the best!

question for the CPA's who are in the tax practice.

I've got $35K in an former employers 401K (left that employer two years ago). Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't I pay taxes on the whole amount of distributions received when I retire (original contributions AND on the earnings)? (I've still got 24 years until retirement).

As opposed to a ROTH IRA, where I pay no taxes on distributions recieved at retirement (earnings are totally tax-free)?

What are the tax implications if I roll this 401K over into a ROTH IRA in 2008?

Thanks for any info you can provide!

When a rich person has $50 million or $100 million, why do they still work? When you have that much money, another few million does not matter in living the lifestyle. Either way, it usually can't be spent.

So what is the mentality that makes them work for more money?

I have a 2005 AWD Pontiac Vibe in great condition. Problem is, I am a mile-maniac, and my two and a half year old car has 65,000 miles on it. I owe $8,000 on it, and half way through my loan pay-off. (It was worth $22,000 when I purchased it).

Would it be fair to simply "give" the car to my sister, as she will assume the remainder of the payments, so that I, in turn, have the ability to purchase a newer, less mileage car? Or based on age and remaining payment on car, would you say it's worth more than the loan amount and that she should give me cash too?

I have a bachelor degree in computer science and I am ITIL certified. The only sources I found that claim that certifications are useful to improve job conditions are edutacion related, so their opinion is biased.
Have any of you gotten a raise, promotion or a better job because you got certified on knowledge you already have?
I find that my experience is more valuable (and cheaper to get).

The people I know and admire for the way they have progress on their professional world don't even have a bachellor degree and today they hold Senior Management mositions. They actually do badly on a training environment.

We bought new from a builder, closed 9/10 and 12/19 he brings up that our deposit was credited twice. This was not discovered at closing. I don't mind paying what I owe, only not being able to finance it or take out a personal loan to pay it. Help!

I feel it is important to know that an employee is out of the office but not the reason for their abscence. Where I work, we are required to post that we are "ill, STD, LTD, surgeries, etc. I feel this information is confidential and should be protected. Any legal advice that I can present to my employer is appreciated. Thanks!

I am currently at a job where my boss required me to fill out a w9 form. I have heard a few bad things about it. I'm a single mother of two kids. I'm used to getting about 5k at the beginning of the year when i file taxes. I have heard that by signing a w9 it will affect this and instead of receiving i will owe! I'm so mad. My boss told me it's better that way. I think it's bullsh**. He told me that at the beginning and then told me he really didnt know how it worked and then i heard him telling another new employee you actually benefit from doing that. Im just worried i won't get any money back this Jan or Feb. I guess i know what the form is but will it really affect me? Should i seek for a new job? =\
