At least you own property to pay taxes on -
I don't have my own pot to p__s in or window to throw it out of. I was totally depending on that refund to help pay down my gas credit cards.
Property taxes...oh my goodnes!!

Our area and I think much of the state were being reassessed this year.  The first tip was when my husband read in the paper that our particular county did an outstanding job with their assessment and should be an example for the rest of the state.  My husband called today to see when we would could be expecting our tax bill and was told they could give us the amount, did he want them too.  He told them he really wasn't sure he wanted to hear it!!   OK - this marvelous job that our county did was -------- a 60% increase.  Can you believe it?????  And we do not live in an extravagent area at all!  We have to come up with an extra $1900 in three months!  Piece of cake! 


I fear America is in for tough days ahead.  Our society in general cannot keep up with the increases that we see on every hand.  Milk - Close to $4 a gallon here.  Gas price increases - and we live 30 miles away from anything, work, church, shopping.  Cheese - $7 for a pound of cheese! 


How can we continue on this pathway when our incomes do not increase at the same rate?  Can't our congress people and senators see the predicament we are in?? 


Another issue along the same line - I'm wishing today that I was on Welfare.  If I was on Welfare, I would have no problem running to the eye doctor because I desparately need my lenses changed in my glasses which are at least three years old.  My son needs to go to the doctor for an infected, ingrown toenail - no money so he endures it.  My daughter needs a graft on the gum line of her teeth where here gumline is beginning to expose the root of the tooth - again no money for that so it won't get done.  I could go on and on - but I'm paying for all the Welfare people to go to the doctor for their sniffles.  Yes - I have insurance that we would be covered for a major medical expense, cancer, etc - but there is $3000 deductible so none of these smaller things are covered.


OK - I'm totally overwhelmed with these issues right now and I know that I am not the only one with these issues.  Thanks for the listening ear and the wonderful sounding board that you all are!!!


When you are sinking in this deep pit - it hard to remember and to comprehend that "MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY."  I'm sure He will do that because He never fails.  I'm anxious to see how he supplies that need.


I am close to retirement age and got property taxes
just a few days ago, about $2,250.00- I called and asked if I got anything off when I reached another age, say 70 or so and was told in 2009 I will have reached the golden age of 65 and my taxes would be only about $800.00 per year! Good Golly Miss Molly, talk about good news! The school tax break comes through then for me. There are some good things that come with aging and this is one!
With the prices of homes and property taxes today, just about everyone is house poor.
It's so sad when you can't go out to dinner often, buy nice expensive things for yourself *just because*, go on lots of trips, go to sports things, see shows/concerts, etc., all because you own a house. I'd truly rather rent and ENJOY my life! :)
Pet tags

I ordered pet tags from Lucky Pet a couple of days ago, and received them today.  I wanted plastic ones - red for Teddy and blue for Bear.  The reflective blue one didn't turn out like I expected - the blue was only on the back and the front was white.  It was hard to read.  I liked the plain red one I got Teddy much better.  So I called the company and told them, and the guy (American!) on the phone was very nice and understanding and let me get a plain blue one instead of the reflective one.  He even let me change to the smaller size like I got Teddy.  Nice way to do business. 



Price tags
Did they have the items priced with tags? I hate it when I go to a sale and no prices on items. I have had a few sales and always price items. It helps, but there are still the hagglers which drives me nuts. If you can afford a quarter, you can probably afford fifty cents. LOL.
Car tags $54 in Ohio NM

My car tags this year are $455.00! Does anyone live
in a state where they also have ad valorem taxes? I have heard property taxes here might be a thing of the past in a few years- wish they could do away with these high a... fees. Where I used to live our tags were either 10 for an auto and 15 for a truck. Egads!
As for tags, they are infinitely cheaper in WA.

On your neck, could be skin tags instead of moles
I would never bother moles but have had skin tags removed. They are the little fleshy protuberances that appear, especially around your neck. I had some clipped at the dermatologist's office and clipped 1 at my home with small scissors but the one I did at home was sorta painful. As you age they start showing up and they do return.
MIL had trimalleolar fracture last year. She refused to get even temporary tags. (sm)
She doesn't drive and when I took her to appointments, etc. I pulled up in front of the building and kind of illegally parked while I got her inside in a wheelchair. We didn't need the tags and people seemed to well understand the situation.

It was a temporary situation and we used temporary measures.
Anyone ever have skin tags removed? Did they come back? Mine are making me crazy!! nm

This was not on my property...
My sister-in-law and I were both picking up our kids from dance class, and my sister-in-law was picking up this girl, too. They were playing outside by the cars. She has an appointment today, so I will probably call later and see what the doctor said.

Thanks everyone!
The 10% was lakefront property
as in over 6 acres, not a home there but glad he is no longer around. I do not understand about who was wrong? The money taken up front from the present realtor, I was told, was put into escrow. I am catching flack from a relative who thinks I should have the money in hand. Her son does not have a realtor selling his property and when a prospective buyer backed out, he kept their earnest money. Please explain when you say he did not do right. I have been in no hurry to sell this, do not need the money in a desperate kind of way but out of town and we are having to keep the yard maintainedm do not ever plan on living there so decided to sell.
Anyone know how to become a property appraiser? (sm)

I think I would like to do this as a side job.  Can look it up online but would like to hear firsthand if anyone has info on this and whether or not it is lucrative.


 


Thanks!


We got married on our property...
just a little ceremony with a few friends and the pastor. We have 15 lovely acres of land and were married near the barn. Everytime we walk past that spot we stop, say I do, kiss and walk on. If we ever leave here we will take some of the dirt with us as a fine memory.
No don’t have to sell but this property is 1 big headache
We have to go every month to cut the grass (6 acreas) and I told my sweet hubby today if something happened to me, hello, he would have to fool with all that. I have no use for it but have had since 2004 now, did not make up mind to sell until about a year ago. I told the realtor just to let me know when he got other offers..
Sold the property, finally
Well, I guess the man was wrong for wanting me to accept the $110,000. I have sold the property today for $140,000. That is a chunk more than I can now think of ways to spend- just kidding, planning on putting new flooring in, paying off most of the home where I live and paying my bills off. Hooray!!
Property I am trying to sell right on the lake
and the people around there kinda sound like you and yours. That is why I am selling!
I have sold some property, not closed on but
get this- the new "owners" have gone in (I was told they wanted to spring clean and thus the realtor gave them keys to the place to do so) and stripped the carpets that were there and also dismantled and took down part of a cabinet. The closing was to take place the first of July. I called the realtor and asked when did spring cleaning turn into renovation. One person had asked about a possible early move-in as their lease ran out today. I told realtor no moving in, nothing else done until closing. No answer from him- no emails answered, nothing. I sent him 1 yesterday saying - oh, never mind, I will check on my property myself either Thursday or Friday morning, hope I don’t find squatters there- guess what folks, now he calls late yesterday evening wanting to know can we close today. Oh, the power of persuasion. Some people really have the nerve!
My property tax rate stays low
because there are so many mansions in my town. There is a house on the market right now for $23 million, plus lots of others in the 5-10 million dollar range. What is really sickening is that these are second or even third homes for some people. But they are paying such high taxes, it really takes the burden off us little guys who live way, way, way on the other side of the tracks.
If the injury occurred on your property... sm

...and you have homeowner's insurance, it should cover any injuries that occur on your property.


However, it is unlikely that the amount the ER charged would meet your deductible unless you have it set extremely low.


It was very nice of you to offer to help. Since the girl had surgery on that finger, she obviously should have had some kind of brace or cast or something to remind her not to use that finger while playing - just so that something like this would not happen.


20/20 hindsight, huh?


Tell you father to sell the property...
buy something decent and let you stay there for free.
Until everything is settled, move in with your father.
You are definitely living in danger.
How, for heaven's sake, can your father hire sex offenders to work in your house?

a doggie purse is personal property.

That sounds strange, cars in with property but
now much do you have to pay?
I live in Kansas. Our property values
I am sorry to hear about your financial predicament. I hope things work out for you.
She lives on his property so kind of hard - sm
to call the police on him or order him off his own property, he has every legal right to be there, except for being a total nut case. I hope he wakes up and gets help, but I do not see any of this ending well.
that's what I said: Only property gathered during the marriage is divided 50/50. nm

Definitely understand that - you shouldn't have to have your property be forever a memorial! (sm)
you were VERY kind to leave it there and take care of it for six months. So ridiculous that people gave you a hard time. I'm sorry that happened to you! Bad enough that you have to know something so awful happened in front of your home without a constant reminder and strangers coming up to your house all the time. And it is not your job to maintain it for them. If the family understood, then certainly no one else should have any say whatsoever.
But he "FOUND" it in private property! Ludicrous reasoning. nm

I am MY property. If I choose to use my assets for money, that is MY business!

As a landlord with rental property, tenants seem to "pay partial rent" or not pay at all sm
beginning around Nov or December (the holidays). Were they both laid off? Is there no income coming in? Even though I don't know the situation, I can guarantee you that the money was spent elsewhere and now they are paying the price. I'm sorry to have to say this.

My husband and I worked with a family on getting caught up and they were 2 months behind plus late fees (about 1,800) and it was right about this time last year. They had a great Christmas though!

I don't have an answer for you. I don't know if there is anyone who can help someone like your friend or my ex-tenants. Rent should be people's #1 priority and sadly, a lot of the times it just isn't.
TAXES

This is my first year having to figure taxes w/ IC and I've only done it for a few months.  I'm wondering if anyone can tell me anything they think would be helpful to me regarding filing my taxes.


Here are a few things I have heard:  That I need to send in 30%-40% of my gross pay quarterly.  I have heard I can claim my office space, percentage of my utilities, and any other cost involved with my work BUT  I have also heard that amount has to exceed a certain $ amount before I will be able to claim it.  That really doesn't make any sense to me but I honestly have no clue. 


We normally have our taxes done by a certain company and am considering going to someone else and, of course, plan to ask him loads of questions but I'd like to have some sort of idea from any of you who are doing this of what to expect.


Thank you for any help you can give me.

To tax his ass


Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.


When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.


Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.


Put these words
upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me
to my doom..."


When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class
in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened?


And I still have to "press 1" for English
I hope this goes around world 10 times



It's America, I shouldn't have to press
anything to hear English. The constitution
was written in English, not Spanish.


I do our taxes myself
and he never even looks at them. Hopefully we won't refinance or anything anytime soon where they'll need to be looked over. I'm going to pay these things off and stop it... hopefully within the year.
I would rather pay more in taxes than to have--sm
someone garnishee my wages for her insurance program that I may or may not want!! Besides, his idea of changing the way taxes are collected is much more fair than the way it is now. Is that all you have against him?? Gotta do better than that!
Taxes
Honey, I feel your pain.  And, if at all possible you do need to get on top of your quarterlies.  I failed to do that and now owe about $40,000.  My husband and I called the IRS and they generally will work with you on a payment plan that you can afford, but unfortunately, interest and penalties contine to accrue.  I think as long as they see you are making an effort they will work with you.  I think if you make payments to the IRS you can claim that as a deduction for the next year's taxes as well.  Best of luck to you!!!
Me, myself and I and my taxes sm

mmm 'scuse me.  I had only my IC income and only Federal taxes to pay last year.  I paid in $7000 and some.  I don't quality for a stimulus check either.  Raking it in? Hardly!  I pay 30% of my taxable income in taxes and I can only take the standard deduction, plus what came out to about $2000 in office expenses last year.  You add up $7K x 3, + 2007 standard deduction for a single person + $2000 and you got my income. 


I don't call that raking it in!


taxes

You can claim your adult kids (if you are single) to put you in the head of household category (which is a lower tax bracket) than claiming single. You can't claim married and head of household.   


AND


You have to be able to prove you provided over 50% of their expenses, such a rent, food, utilities.  If they have a job and are working you can't claim them unless you can still prove what you are paying for them is over 50% of their expenses.  So basically they have to have a really lousy job or no job at all or be working spoiled brats!  Mine have fit into all of those categories at one time or another. 


Indiana taxes
A family I know in Fort Wayne area had taxes double this year since annex of Allen County to Fort Wayne. What can I say, welcome to my world in New Jersey (12,000 for property taxes in a townhouse with no backyard)
I agree wth what you said about taxes

I loved what that professor said on the show about Hurricaine Katrina.  Of course we didn't see who could pay before we rescued them.  We just needed to help them in a time of natural disaster, and the professor pointed out that if a woman gets breast cancer that IS a natural disaster to her.  I don't think she should have a better chance for survival if she is a rich American versus a poor or middle-class American.


If we can afford the very expensive war we have been in for the last 5 years I think we can afford better healthcare for US citizens.  I feel like although it is important to be safe from terrorists, the most likely threat in many of our lives isn't a terrorist's bomb; I think it is a disease that will cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills that we may or may not be able to pay.  I think many Americans die each year because they cannot afford the lifesaving treatment they need to save their own lives, and that is tragedy in my book.


When you file your taxes
NM
Churches should pay Taxes?
My question Do yall think Churches should pay Taxes? I see and hear a lot about some of these well to do Pastors driving MERCEDES and living in fine homes!I personally believe they should why are they exempt?

are your taxes and insurance in with
the house note? By the time you have to pay for these out of pocket, will you realize much difference; I'd say keep paying your house notes and work on the other stuff; just my thinking. DO NOT TOUCH THE 401K; you will be horribly taxed on it as income. Actually, you guys are not that bad off debt-wise, know it's crowded, but you can survive for awhile yet and may another addition to the house would be feasible later; sounds charming, I love rock houses. If you have land, I'd say hold onto this deal, land's getting harder and harder to come by. For sure you don't have homeowner's agency to contend with. This will get better; just keep on keeping on. Good luck.
So how do you know they didn't pay taxes?

Some people on SS file because they make money on the side, or they also have things that give them interest income.


Are you against SS recipients getting money back? After all, those on SS paid in as long as they worked how many years, and they do deserve it. SS doesn't give eough to live on unless you made a fortune in your earlier years. I don't know anyone who can survive on just SS.


What do you do if you owe taxes this year but
Pay part of it?  Do they have payment options?
How tough is it to track taxes
Have a job offer but am worried about going IC.
What are you talking about. I work and pay taxes.
p
Do you pay her taxes like a good employer?!

Selling house, how much taxes will I owe?
Never lived at this property, got in my name about 6 years ago, never had it appraised, the person living there before also did not. My question is how much will I owe on taxes, say on a percentage basis, according to what it sells for? How do I go about figuring this out? Thanks.
