This would be a flat rate tax, not an actual flat tax...
Studies have shown that this model could actually produce MORE revenue into the federal government.

The IRS is spending billions of dollars just to go auditing people who owe on average, less than $1000 in back taxes.

If you have garnishments placed on your check which are taken out twice monthly, does that mean when income tax time runs around that they will also take your refund?

If somebody is sending his/her articles to a private newspaper, should he expect financial incentives regarding his/her journalistic contributions? There is no contract, no prior promises of financial reward, and the newspaper can cancel these articles, I mean they don't have to accept his articles. Should he receive any charges or financial incentives for his/her first articles on a private newspaper or he should wait to publish many articles and after that ask them for financial rewards? What could be the system of financial grants in private newspapers for novice writers?

I'm an IT consultant, and happened to be well versed in the particular subject matter at hand and the project done well under schedule.

However, I have the distinct impression that if they see I got the job done in 5 hours they will suspect shoddy work. Do I explain the situation and bill for 5, or just bill for 20 and say i got it done a little faster or something?? The other thing is that most people really would take 25 hours to do this work, and I feel like my expertise isn't really being compensated at only 5 hrs billing.

I suppose the other option is to just bill for 5 and tell them in the future there will be a minimum charge or something? I would like the input of experienced independent contractors, because I don't want to be unscrupulous, yet i want to be fairly compensated

Alright, so here's a summary of the facts. Looking to know if my parents can again claim me as a dependent or not.

- 20 years old
- full-time student (they pay about 2/3, I pay 1/3)
- employed full-time, salary this year of approximately $25,000
- lived at home from 01/01 until 09/01
- lived in own place 09/01 through present, and therefore they did not provide me with four months of support
- was on a month-long trip 06/29 through 07/25 and therefore they did not provide me with a month's worth of support then
- pay my own car payment, albeit under their name as I bought the car when I was 17
- pay my own car insurance; however, it is paid to my father who then pays it
- under father's health insurance

I believe I am entitled to not be claimed as a dependent. As far as I understand, if I pay more than 50% of my support myself, they cannot claim me. 4 months alone+1 month alone on road=5 months. Out of the remaining 6 months, I am sure I paid 1/6th of my support myself.

Please help

Hey I have a general question on taxes, hopefully one of you is an expert out there! WE will be going to HR block or somebody this year...Anyway, my fiance & I bought a house together this year in April, it is in both of our names, but I think he is the "primary" or something. I also have a dependent(6 yr old daughter) Can we both file head of household? he makes a little more $ than I, but I have the dependent. I am so confused on how this will work. Like I said, we will be going to a professional, but I was just curious if anyone has been in the same situation.
Thanks!!!
Hope everyone gets a huge refund!

I graduated with my undergrad degree in May of this past year (2007) and started my 1st "real" job immediately. Up until graduation I was dependent on my parents financially even though I held a part-time job throughout most of college. I lived with them for 5 months after graduation (moved out of their house in November) although I was otherwise financially independent; now I am in my own apartment.

Now that it comes to pay taxes for 2007, do I file as head of household, independent, dependent?!

I have $4000 in my Fidelity Roth IRA right now all invested in FFFHX (Fidelity Freedom Fund 2050). I am 22 years old. I am aware that I'm getting fees charged twice since the Freedom Funds are invested into other funds. I was wondering what other mutual funds I can invest in for growth.

Do you think the Freedom Fund 2050 is a little bit on the conservative side for someone my age?

Thanks.

I recently paid off all of my credit cards and thought that I was credit card debt free. However, I have a credit card that I am still accruing a $10 monthly fee, I have called the credit card company and asked if they can remove this but they said no. The only way for this charge to stop accruing is the close out the account. Would closing out this account hurt my FICO score? Should I close this account out?

I was not informed of the possibility of a sale until 12/5/07 and then only by email, which gave me only three-business days notice I did not know what to do, To make it worse she left the office early that Friday at 1:30 and they could not be reached over the weekend per their email. Every phone call I made from 12/5/07 on was delayed by the office telling me to hold on as they “must contact the lender and get back to me” they even stopped returning my calls on the day of the sale. While on the phone waiting to hear from the lender; he is auctioning off my home. Currently 150k in equity I was only behind 9k. I believe they did this to lead me on until the sale was over.
I was told there were no other bidders and my lender bought my house for himself. Now my lender wants to rent my house
help.I was delinquent on my second mortgage and I do not dispute any fault on my part for being in this position I was lied to by the lender. Help

Give an example of a time when you have seen an oppertunity to improve something at work or outside of work, and have acted upon it.

Describe a situation where you have had to deal with a difficult customer/situation. What did you do? What was the outcome?
