I know there are some formulas to figure out FICA, and federal taxes, as far as paychecks go. Does anyone know the formulas? For example, i wanna find out how much my paycheck will be on friday, when i get paid for working only 32 hours instead of 40.

My name was on the deed with my Mom, who had died. So then I distributed some of the money this year (an individual can give up to 11,000 no questions asked), and intend to give the rest next year. Should I slow down on the 11,000 in case IRS doesn't understand?

Lets say you finish your basement or add a bathroom, this adds value to your house. Taxes are partially based on the value of your home right? How does this work? I live in NY if that helps but in general what happens?

I am getting ready to in a couple of weeks take an accounting class online which takes 6 weeks for Accounting Fundamentals 1 and then another for Fundamentals 2. I am also going to be learning payroll as well with these course but on top of that I'd like to learn taxes.

Where is some good site for me to check out tax courses besides the H&R Block thing, I'd prefer it be online. Also, would knowing accounting (or learning it online) get me a job, even if I'm not an certified CPA?

I want to sell my unwanted stuff through eBay, and I want to know the shipping fee.
First I put my item on my postal scale and go to USPS web site to calculate the shipping fee. Now I know how much to ship my item, but how much tax do I pay? Multiple by the percentage of tax as same as when I buy stuff at store? I want to know if they charge me some extra handling fee or something like that.

THank you.
