I mean, if you claim it this year, that means you can't claim it next year, so why would it matter? Is it smartest to claim 2 years mortgage interest and property taxes in 1 year (1 payment January and one in December?) I've just been claiming one per year and not accelerating any payments ever.

I understand that in 2007, there is a $87,500 tax exculsion for (ie western employees). Is this true ? Is this gross income or adjusted income?

Also, do americans have to pay capital gains tax earned overseas?

(ie. Say i invested my money in an IRA in UAE for the past 3 years and have earned 30% return on my investments and after the 3 years return back to the US. Do I have to pay any taxes? Can I transfer the money back into my US bank account?) Please advise?

Thanks.

I'm 27 years old. Several of my friends are just a few years older and have almost $100,000 in their 401k's by now... I have a little over a quarter of that in mine (around 25K)... I take 10% of every paycheck and invest it. Am I doing something wrong?? Is it normal to have that much already invest at this age???

I haven't been back to my company's building due to a bad situation there since mid-September. I am leaving now
and have a new job.

I have worked from an alternative location with my
boss's permission.

Do I have to go back for the exit interview with
HR, or is it reasonable to ask to conduct the
exchange by phone and obtain paperwork
by mail or email?

Hello everyone, I am a high school student under 18 yrs of age who worked over the summer for the first time. I only worked for 2 months made about 2000. After reading other answers on the site I'm still a little confused when it comes to taxes etc. Now I put exempt on my forms and on my paychecks it said 0 under Federal and NY withholding -which I wanted- and got taxed for the obvioud med, etc.Now I'm just confused here, I know I don't have to file taxes since I earned under 5 thou but do I get a W-2 form etc. at the end of the year?

Thanks for all the help.

I have a bill for $90 that I just got a letter from saying that if I don't pay within seven days it'll be reported to the credit bureau. I already talked to these people like three weeks ago telling them I couldn't pay until Jan 10 when I get my money for my school loan and is that ok, and they said it's fine..so obviously I need to call them back about that. But, if they don't let me wait until then, how badly this going to affect my credit? Right now I have good credit. Will it still be hurt if I ended up paying the balance only like five days after the date they said they will report it?
