Our Mom passed, left 2 IRA's. The IRA's were distributed to 6 beneficiary accounts. WE found out that Mom had only a partial RMD taken out. For ease, let's say the RMD was $12000.00 and she had taken...

Is there any thing wrong with wiring the ceiling fan to the outlet box. The power source goes to the switch first. The outlet is not switched and the fan will have no light on it.


Thanks so much...

Just so frustrating! Why does a PC find a site and then just stall. The bar at bottom of page says waiting for xxxxxxxx to respond. Funny thing is one browser may connect and another may not. HMMMM!...

As I understand it, a non-spousal beneficiary has only a few options. We want to transfer 2 IRA's trustee-to-trustee, but the original trustee has the paperwork filled out to cut a check and mail it...

The IRA trustee has divided the IRA between all beneficiaries and each will have what looks like a IRA savings account. The account name list the beneficiary and the original IRA owner.
If this...

Hi all,

I created a schedule C and SE to cover taxes on some childcare my wife did in 2008. The software automatically put $100.00 in the 1040 as an earned income credit.

Is this possible when...

Thanks Ebaines. I figured that also. BUT I did read if one cashes out and reports amount as income then he/she can claim the loss. I would rather roll your over.


Thanks again

I have some information to add that may help. I decided to surrender the variable annuity and transfer into a bank IRA CD. Yes, Ebaines, it will cost me $1800.00 withdrawal fee but do not mind that...

Hi,

I have an annuity (IRA) that was made from my employers rollover. I want to put that in something that has a guaranteed principle, like the 401K rollover CD. I am not sure I can use that as...

Very soon my wife will be off cobra and will have to apply for private insurance. If that process turns up only rejections then she will have to apply for the state pool insurance. Before we start...

I understand that part and actually did a practice return, but how does her social security and medicare get reported.


JIM

Sorry for the confusion. My wife babysits for our Grandson. If our son claims childcare and we report the income on our return that is OK as I understand it.


BUT


What my wife needs is to...

I am still confused on the reporting of Social security and Medicare taxes. A visit to a local CPA did not help that much either, but here is what I think. My Son can file childcare on his taxes...

Sorry ATE, I typed badly. My wife babysits for our GRANDSON in our house 5 days a week, 9 1/2 hours per day for $100.00 per week. Now what I need so badly to do is report this income and have IRS...

We are babysitting for our new Grandson. Our son pays us each week. 1 questions please.


1. Will our son and wife be able to claim the payments at tax time. If they can, I know we will have to...

Fr_Chuck can you explain a little more here. FYI here is my situation. Worked 30 years on 1 job, got fired due to health and employee risk. Company kept my wife and me on company insurance for 18...

RichardBondMan you could not have posted a better story. And that will be our problem also in 18 months. AARP now offers United Healthcare and I saw the application and I can see where any condition...

Thanks ScottGem, that makes a lot of sense to me. If the next 18 months is anything like 2006-2007 present, I will not mind the payments for sure.


Have a great day


Jim

To Scott Gem and Fr. Chuck---Both answers helped and both of you were right on as to what I could learn. After being forcefully retired due to health, I have come to realize how bad our Insurance...

I understand that cobra rates are determined in some fashion by the Plan that is in place for the Company. The rates that I have to pay for 2007 increased 20-30 percent over rates for 2006.

Clough,

One of my 1099R has a "G" in box 7 for the rollover. The software I use will onl;y acept Numeric numbers in Box 7. Have I used the wrong form?

Thanks


Jim

I wanted to post this so if anyone else comes across it, they will not have to live the misery I did for days. If you have 1099r's be sure to list the distribution code in BOX 7. I missed that on one...

You are probably right on the Tax Specialist for this year, thanks

Jim

The job said I was a risk to the work environment and that is why they fired me. That was in Feb2006, I immediately applied for Disability and was accepted. There is a 5 month waiting period and my...

Scott Gem,

Thanks, they paid the loan off before the 401K was rolled into an IRA. They took nothing out of the $15321.01 loan payoff. Yes I got a 1099R. Also when I did a Tax mock up the program...

Thanks ATE, just wrote Administrator for loan disbursement date and rollover date of balance if different. Will post ASAP

Jim

I had an unexpected 401K distribution with no withholding that will wreck tax year 2006. Can this disbursement be postponed and taken in 2007?


Thanks


Jim

NOT HAPPY HERE!

Here's the deal. Example is for clarity.


Total 401K is $100,000.00
Outstanding loan is $15,000.00


That's it, now I lost my job of 30 years.

Our plan administrates paid off an existing loan in my 401K before it was rolled over to an IRA. As of today feb 2, I have not received a 1099R. All other withdrawals from the rollover IRA I have...

I for sure am no expert. But I just rolled my 401K into an IRA and about 5 Holdings. I did have to draw out money on 2 occasions. Both withdrawals we considered income and taxed accordingly. I did...

Scott Gem,

You are absolutely correct. The reason we did not do that was I was not itemizing deductions and I at least saved the interest per month on the note if we paid it out. You and ATM...
