Is My Ira Deductible
July 24th, 2008
Knowing when to withdraw from a 401K account is extremely important knowledge for your retirement plan. The real short answer to this question is not until you reach retirement age, which is 59 years and 6 months of age, however, there is really more that you should know than that.
First of all, you can start to take payments when you reach retirement age (59 and 1/2 years old) and you have to start taking payments before you are seventy years old.
When the economy is in bad shape and you are watching your savings plummet, however, it is easy to think you should go ahead and get your money now. This idea has some serious consequences, however. You will have to pay both federal and state taxes on the money you take out, plus a ten percent early withdrawal fee-this amounts to a great deal of money, plus the money you are missing out on that you would have accumulated up to the point of retirement.
Of course, if you are watching your balance drop, you may decide this is worth it. Most financial professionals, however, will strongly advice you against this at any cost, and will advice you to possibly switch your investment plans, and stick with it.
If you decide to go through with this and are younger than retirement age things are much more complicated.
You cannot take any money from the account at any time you want, you can only do this immediately after you have left a job. At this point you have four options, you can roll it into a plan with your new employer, roll it into an IRA, leave the money where it is, or cash out.
There are of course exceptions to this rule under extraordinary circumstances.
Knowing how and when to withdraw from a 401k account is extremely important, especially for avoiding high penalties and losing your retirement savings. Deciding to cash out is a big decision, and one you’ll want to talk about with a financial professional and be very informed about.

Question: Who is Liable for the Repairs?
I bought a new car yesterday, signed and sealed. I still have my old car even though the title belongs to the dealer as a trade in. I hit a deer today and there is outside mirror damage and some minor panel damage. The insurance policy is still in my name on the old car. I’m driving it until I pick up my new one next week. Who is responsible for getting the car repaired? Me or the dealership who now technically own the car? I have $1000 deductible. Anyone can help with this please? Thanks.
Answer: you are dealer wasnt driving it was he and what really going to suck is you didnt have insurance on it but did for the other so your out of luck out of pocket money what your deductable is or was doesnt matter since the other car is what has insurance your screwed

Tax Deduction Self Employed Health Insurance
July 23rd, 2008
Question: If you are both self-employed, how much of your peronal health insurance can you write off on your taxes?
If you are both self-employed, how much of your peronal health insurance can you write off on your taxes? I am paying 180 per month and my wife is paying 380 per month; how much of that are you allowed to write off on your taxes; with the deductions we have now we are below the poverty line but my accountant is saying I owe like 7k in taxes; i just dont see it; any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance!!
Answer: If all your income is self-employment income and you owe about $7,000 then your taxable income was about $26,717.
Of the $7,000 in taxes, $3,775 would be self-employment taxes – These taxes allow you to draw social security when you retire.
The other $3,225 would be your income taxes.
The 2008 poverty level for two people is $14,000 – it sounds like you made alot more than that!
Self-employed health insurance is deducted on line 29. In order to be able to deduct the insurance, you have to have made a profit (which it sounds like you did) and the health insurance has to be through the business. There is a worksheet that you fill out in order to figure out how much you can deduct.

Tax Home Office Deduction
July 23rd, 2008
Question: Is Turbo Tax Home and Business worth the extra money for me?
I have my own business (sole proprietor). It generates less than $10k per year and has no employees. I utilize deductions for home office, vehicle expenses and general office product expenses but that is about it. Is it worth buying the Turbo Tax Home Business or can I get away with buying the Deluxe version?
Answer: The important thing is that you get the right answer, and one that you can depend on. The Home Business program provides more hand-holding for those needing business guidance. A business with 10k of revenue often has as many issues as one with 200k in revenue.
So the answer is… it depends on your needs.

Self Employed Tax Deductions
July 22nd, 2008
Question: Why as a PAYE employee do I have to pay more tax than a self employed person?
I am an employee and not allowed to make any deductions to the tax I have to pay at source. This is totally unfair. If I was self employed I could deduct the cost of my mobile, cost of suits, etc. Why is one rule of self employed people and another rule for PAYE employees. Also, to add to this the self employed can invest their tax and earn interest on it as they pay their tax every six months I have to pay mine monthly. Also, there is no collection of tax worries from me as it is deducted at source!!!!
Answer: The reason is because you are either not smart enough or not brave enough to become self-employed and enjoy the benefits!
Here’s a tip; why not start a part-time business in your spare time, register with the HMRC as self-employed, submit your own tax returns and take the deductions! Dah!! Simple, eh?
The part-time business can be anything; trade some stuff on ebay and you are in business, join a network marketing company, do any of a thousand opportunities. Take a look at the attached link and pick one!
Think….
Plan…..
DO!
Most people fail to do anything to make a difference in their life.
Right now you are thinking….
Plan your next move…
Do it!
