If you have a spouse you can have extra

taken out of their check or you can pay estimated quarterly taxes.  You can print the forms from IRS website.  You pay quarterly but you don't do your taxes until January just like everyone else. 


I'm not an IC, but my company only pays federal taxes and not state because they are in a tax-free state.   The first couple of years I underestimated and got hit with a penalty, but after that just took the previous year wages and divided them per pay period to figure out how much extra to have taken out of DH check.  We got back about $900 in state taxes the last 2 years, but I don't want to decrease what we have taken out because line counts fluctuate and DH is in a commissioned position so his check fluctuates too.  I'd rather be over than under. 


 


If you need extra practice typing itself...

COOL!
Been having extra taken out of DH check for 3 years now at the
advice of my tax guy and have had no problems whatsoever.  The IRS doesn't care where the money comes from, just that they get it.  We file a joint return.  If you file separately the situation might be different. 
Thinking about MT as 2nd job - extra money

Hi there - I have a very sound career holding a Management position making great money, however we are trying to pay off bills and I thought I would pick up a second job.  A friend told me about being a MT and at first I was kinda excited to start my research, then sites like this (some of the posts) have scared me.  HOWEVER there are a good number of success stories.  I think I may continue on, as this will not be my main job, just for extra income.


My question for all of you who are certified.  I keep reading about the BIG 3 schools.  I don't know who they are, but I was going to go to one of my technical colleges in my local area.  Is that a no no in the MT world?  I mean, it's an accredited school.  I'm just scared that when applying for jobs, they will want those that came from the big 3 that you all are talking about.


If anyone can share information I would greatly appreciate it.  Thx a bunch!!!


cost

Tennessee Career College in Nashville, TN. Exact cost for me $9,839.15. I did recieve financial aid to cover it up front so I haven't had to pay anything yet. But I graduated in March and my payments start six months from the date I finished. So if I don't have better income by September I'm Screwed.


cs cost of course

Newbie here will be starting school at C.S. (EVCC) the end of March, was just lookin through all the postings and seen that someone was asking about the cost of the medical Transcriptionist course through C.S which is through Everett Community College,And someone replied they thought the cost was between $1300 - $1500 for the course in the package that you get when you start lookin into this it`s not clear of the total cost of this course.In the package I received it states that the platinum - level enrollment is $1560 and the gold - level enrollment is $1320......To clear this up so no one is as shocked as I was the actual cost for the complete course is $4290 approxamently $1430 for each of the three quarters


You have to PAY EXTRA for the internship and they don't teach you enough to get hired. (see messa
Much better to go to Andrews School or M-TEC, the top two schools in the country. Almost guaranteed to be able to get a job afterwards, and most companies will waive the 2-years' experience requirement if you are an Andrews or M-Tec grad.
Cost of transcription course?
What does $442 get yah? This can't be real is it?
They cost an awful lot (sm)
Much more cost-effective to get your dictators to use an FTP site.
If you choose Andrews or M-TEC, you won't need a fast track or extra training.
You also will receive, with your course, many of the books that CS students purchase on their own - the Book of Style, the Language of Medicine, better grammar books.

I graduated from CS also. And if I had it to do again, I'd choose Andrews or M-TEC.
Career Step cost
There are different options, but none exceed $2000 - online options are approximately $1300 and $1500. Dale - Feel free to email me and I can give you more details. :)
Do a cost/benefit analysis...
There are some C-phone accounts out there, but I don't really have any solid numbers on how many and their availability. You probably just need to look at it more on the level of the individual account. Is this account one that will give you the means to recoup the expense and make a profit.
and they cost an awful lot. TASP's are redundant services for...
MT's who can't figure it out on their own. Why pay forever for files being sent over the Internet when you can get your own software to do it and just pay once?
It's rare to get the 2nd phone line reimbursed, so need to think about that cost, too. nm
