Re: question about tax breaks and investing

So, I'm wrong, my sources are wrong and you can't spell moot correctly. I'm not going to argue with you anymore.

Re: question about tax breaks and investing

Not sure where I was "very incorrect" here, but sorry if I chimed in with bad info.

If you are employed by the company, they should be taking out taxes unless you are an independent contractor. There are pretty defined rules that determine whether or not you are an IC, but just by your language ...

Re: question about tax breaks and investing

If you are employed by the company, they should be taking out taxes unless you are an independent contractor. There are pretty defined rules that determine whether or not you are an IC, but just by your language, it sounds like you're employed. A true IC uses all his own equipment, etc. And usually ...

Re: Mortgage interest deduction.....

20% = skin in the game = less likely to hand in the keys + time = more stable housing market for everyone.

If you are reluctant to put down 20%, why shouldn't the bank be?

Re: Mortgage interest deduction.....


It's done to encourage people to invest in a house.

Bingo.

It also encourages us to stretch out the repayment, which lowers equity while maximizing monthly cash flow so that we can blow our money on retail goods that go down in value.

It's artificial stimulus. It's that kind of thinking that ...

Re: Mortgage interest deduction.....

A little devil's advocate here...

Why should mortgage interest be deductible? Is that fair to a renter?

BTW, "because that's the way it's always been" is not a good answer.

I've never understood the logic in that deduction. Don't get me wrong, I use it every year, but I'm all for a simpler tax ...

Re: School Bus Wreck

I drove up on it this morning about 8:20. This was right when the guy drove off the road reportedly b/c of a seizure. He was headed south about 50 mph in the northbound 61 lane, went down a ditch and up the other side, all four tires off the ground. Looked like a movie. Could've been much worse as ...

Re: Ask DS: Help givirg direction to a kid at a crossroads

I'd tell her to "start her baking business" while she's finishing school. Consider her degree a back up plan.

I see you live in Pontotoc. People in Oxford and/or Tupelo are always looking for cool, local sellers especially in the arts.

If she's wanting to do custom pastries, tell her to call some ...

Re: Taxes Anyone??

i did mine a week ago at H&R block for $24. took about 30 min. Direct deposit expected later this week, I got back $1100. I haven't gotten a refund in 10 years, another benefit of being single!

Amazing how the government has pulled the wool over our eyes about taxes. Folks get a refund and feel ...

Re: Credit monitoring/protection service

just freeze your credit. you can do that for a small one time fee. impossible for anyone to open up anything then.
