Question: Business/Tax?

I am fifteen years old and have a job at a local retirement home. I receive minmum wage, just started working, and work only 3-4 days a week for 4 hours. Do my parents lose Tax Deductions because of me working?? Because they believe so and want me to quit

Answer: Nuh, do not quit your job!

You can be a dependent (means your parents can claim your exemption of $3400) and also at the same time, you can file tax as a dependent, if you have earned income ( means you worked to earn it) of $5350. You can’t claim your exemption (deduction of $3400) regardless of your parents claimed it or not, if you’re dependent for the federal tax return! State law varies. You live with your parents and do not provide more than half of your support right? Then your parents would not lose tax deductions. Good Luck.

The Most Controversial Tax Deductions

Tax deductions help reduce your tax bill – what could possibly be wrong with that? Unfortunately, the truth is slightly more complicated than it looks. A tax deduction is a reduction in taxes for someone, but not necessarily you.

Question: i have two form 16s how to calculate total income and standard deductions?

i have got two form 16s, one from my previous employer and one from my current employer. How to calculate the total income and standard deductions.

Answer: 1. ADD: Income from salary from the 2 firms
2. ADD: Income from House Property – less property tax – less 30% towards repairs – less Interest on Housing Loan* conditions apply
3. ADD: Any other income like bank interest, dividends etc.etc. from both the F.16=== Arrive at the Gross Total Income:

Now deduct the eligible deduction : i.e. 1,00,000/- [maximum]
== Taxable Income: NOW

Calculate Tax + Education cess:
Less: Tax deducted from both the companies.

= now you will know whether you have to pay or get refund

= if you have to pay – pay with interest
= if you have to receive – claim it by filing return.

= this is applicable to a normal salaried class. It would be better if you consult an auditor in this connection.

Question: help me understand pet insurance deductible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

We are getting our first puppy very soon and I wanted to get health insurance for him thru Purina and it says that I would have a $250 deductible. It says that Purina Care will reimburse 80% of eligible expenses, customer copay is 20%, after annual deductible is met. What does this mean? Like do I pay the normal vet bill until I have paid $250, and than after that I only have to pay 20% of my bill or what? Please help I’m pretty dumb when it comes to this sort of thing:) Thanks

Answer: They did a pretty good job of explaining it.

I have my dog insured through Trupanion and you have the option of a $0 deductible which is what I chose! You can pick anywhere from $0 up to $1000 deductible with them. They also cover 90% of every bill, and don’t have any limits on claim amounts or per year. So if you have a lot of expenses in one year, it’s all covered, you might want to check it out!

So if my dog had a vet bill that was $1000, I have a $0 deductible so 90% would be covered and I’d have to pay 10% which is $100.

The thing about deductibles, is just like car insurance. If your deductible is lower, then you’ll be paying higher premiums, but it’s all about what you can afford in case an accident happens.

Question: Standard deduction verus Itemizing Deductions with owning a home?

ok so i guess the rule of thumb is to itemize your deduction when you own a home for the intrest, taxes and pmi. but on a tax website i read you should only itemize if the deduction is over the standard deduction of 10,000?? for married filing joint. so i guess what i dont understand is how itemizing is better. am i going to pay more than 10,000 in intrest and taxes to deduct…please help with any advise if you have owned a home and how to handle taxes and deductions, i am LOST

Answer: If you total Itemized Deductions are MORE than your standard deduction, then you should itemize.

Itemized deductions include real estate tax, mortgage interest, state and local taxes, donations to chartiy, and a few other minor things. If the TOTAL is more than your standard deduction, do it.

If not, the standard deduction will be more beneficial.
