Question: stomache pain, what could it be?

This morning I woke up with really bad pain on my lower right Stomache area. As the day went on it lightened up a bit, but still hurts but i move certain ways, sit down, get up, etc. I looked online at WebMd.com and it said it could be due to Apendicitis and that I should go to the emergency room. When I told my mom, she said don’t go to the emergency room because it’s a 250 deductible, and that if I had apendicitis i wouldn’t be able to walk. Is it possible it could be related to a muscle strain or something else that could cause similar symptoms? it hurts when you press it, but i can walk lol. My mom isn’t a doctor, just a business woman so i dont know what to do. i’m 21 but still under her insurance. What could it be? should i sit it through and see what happens like she says?

Answer: I wouldn’t sit it through. I had my appendix rupture, and it is not fun. I was in the hospital for three-weeks because the infection from my burst appendix had gotten into my body. Do you have a personal physician, clinic, or school nurse you can go to? That should be less than $250. You might also have an inguinal hernia. I know times are hard; but I can’t believe your mother would put $250 before your health. I spent more than that on my dog’s health this week.

Question: Tax Deduction?

Ok i deliver pizzas for a living and i herd that i can get Tax Deductions for using my car for the company and the miles i go? Anyone know anythang about that?
1. depending on gas price right now a $1.05

2. Credit card tips are automaticley reported… but not cash tips
***sorry they dont pay per run but everytime i leave the store 1.05

Answer: You can claim 48.5 cents per mile as far as using your vehicle when delivering pizzas (business use). But if the company gave you some money for mileage then you can not take the full 48.5 cents. You will need to complete a 2106 form (employee expenses not reimbursed by employer) and attached it to your 1040. The mileage rate for 2008 is 50.5 cents per mile. Hopefully, you have good records to prove your mileage in case the IRS contacts you. You also need to report the cash tips as well.
