Question: Tax Deductions for a former RE agent?

I was a real estate agent at the beginning of the year of 2009, but unfortunately due to the slow market, I made no sales but racked up a ton of related bills. I understand that these things are tax deductible, but I made no income from my brief time there. Am I still eligible for any deductions seeing as how I made no income from the job and still had to pay bills and taxes, etc. Thanks in advance for any and all pertinent answers.
To clarify, I only started as an RE agent this year and since I made no headway I had no choice but to find a new job in order to recoup my losses incurred while being an RE agent.

Answer: If you had income last year from being an RE agent, the IRS is going to understand if you had no sales this year.

In fact, if you have substantial negative income, you may have a Net Operating Loss that you can carry back to prior years.

Question: What are the personal income Tax Deductions?

My husband is on salary every 2 weeks, it didn’t change at all, but now he has an extra $200 income tax deducted each cheque. This started in June 2008. He has been fighting with the company since saying he is making less now than before and they say that there are new tax laws in effect and that it is correct. I can’t find any table anywhere does anyone know where to find one? Our accountant says $200 more is a huge amt. and must be wrong, but we need some proof….any help would be appreciated. We live in Alberta, and I am looking for personal income tax deductions.

Answer: There were NO changes to Alberta Province taxes in June 2008 nor to the Federal rates. Most changes take place starting either Jan 1 of July 1.

Most of the time when this type of thing happens it usually an increase in Group Insurance or another Company sponsored deduction (Social club or Party Fund).

The easiest thing to do would be to take a pay stub (listing all the deductions) from before June and comparing it to a current pay slip. If you husband did not keep his old pay slips, ask the payroll person at his office to photocopy on of his Payroll register postings.

Now I also do not know how much your husband makes but $200/pay is A LOT. My first guess would be a Group Health Insurance Plan, or pension plan deduction.

Federal government stimulus funds are helping many Tennesseans cope with the recession; the estimated numbers of jobs created by stimulus funds are over 7700 and may continue to rise, particularly in light of the contracts awarded in for building and maintenance with more yet to be awarded.

The federal government has earmarked approximately 5.6 billion dollars in stimulus funds for Tennessee; many stimulus dollars have already been awarded but there are still many, many more contracts that are available for bid.

There have already been many contracts awarded in Tennessee for a variety of endeavours both for new construction and up keeping existing facilities. Many contracts have been and are waiting to be awarded for upgrading the lock system and rehabilitating some of the mechanisms and systems incorporated into them. This upgrading and upkeep is vital to the proper functioning of the lock systems as the youngest lock was completed in 1944.

There are a few contracts for projects of a medical nature that have been awarded in Tennessee as well. Almost six million dollars have been awarded to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to build a collection of centers, while the Gentry Behavioural Health Clinic will be receiving approximately 6.5 million dollars for upgrading and modernization. There was a 9.7 million dollar contract awarded to Sherrick Construction for the planning and construction of a child development center with a capacity for 200 children and a 3.7 million dollar contract awarded for repairs at Womack Army Medical Center.

There have also been a variety of other contracts awarded around the state including power plant upgrades, upgrading for the generator cooling system at the Wolf Creek Dam, and cleaning and maintenance of the navigation channel on the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway.

If you are looking to maybe place a bid to get some federal stimulus dollars for your company then don’t delay, there are still a few contracts left to be awarded if you hurry but there isn’t much time left to make your bid.

Regardless of who contracts are actually awarded to, the 5.6 billion dollars that the federal government has set aside for Tennessee will help the entire state come through this recession in a bit better place than we would be otherwise. The circulation of more money through the pockets of the people of Tennessee is certain to help business in most every sector.
