Latest question regarding Whats a good calculator to buy or software to download for my accounting class..? from Yahoo: Is there a software online that will make it easier to do the work or help me through it..I guess I dont have to say accounting is one of my weaker subjects
Well I just started my Financial accounting class and wasn’t sure what kind of a calculator I should purchase so thanks for your input Im still on chapter 1 which is just an introduction but i will definitely be posting questions/problems
Answer: What specifically is holding you back in accounting? There are lots of accounting calculators… but they won’t help if you don’t have some of the basics.

But what’s confusing you? Maybe some of us on here can help.

Real Estate Tax advice.. very detailed ..any experts in real estate tax out there?
Latest question regarding Real Estate Tax advice.. very detailed ..any experts in real estate tax out there? from Yahoo: We are selling our principal residence in South Carolina which we will have lived in and owned for about 18 months (thus short of the 2 year mandatory minimum for tax free status).
We will have tens of thousands of dollars in capital improvements (new hardwood flooring, counters, siding, deck, extensive bathroom renovation..done in 2009). We also have lots of money in repairs and painting, cleaning, yard maintenance etc.
We will hopefully sell in spring 2010.
1. We plan to make about 80k over what we bought it for.. can we deduct any of what we spent fixing it up?
2. Will we get taxed on every dollar over what we originally paid in 2008? There are no extenuating circumstances to force the move.
3. Can we deduct our closing costs from originally purchasing it?
4. Is there anything else you can tell me that might help..ie. things I CAN deduct to help me avoid some of the profit tax?
Thanks and Happy New Year!
K
Answer: 1. We plan to make about 80k over what we bought it for.. can we deduct any of what we spent fixing it up?
Add the costs of improvements, but not maintenance and repairs, to the purchase price of the house. Also, add the real estate commission you pay to sell the house to the purchase price of the house. The total of these amounts is included in the “basis” of the house (see also 3 for other additions to the basis). Only the difference between the selling price and the basis of the house is subject to income tax.
2. Will we get taxed on every dollar over what we originally paid in 2008? There are no extenuating circumstances to force the move.
No. You may be subject to tax only on the difference between the selling price and the basis of the house. Since you have owned the house for 18 months, your gain is long-term capital gain and is going to be taxed at a maximum of 15%.
3. Can we deduct our closing costs from originally purchasing it?
You can add the cost of the survey, deed recording fee, title insurance, and other expenses which are related to the purchase of the property to your basis. You cannot add any fees related to the mortgage, such as the mortgage origination fee.
4. Is there anything else you can tell me that might help..ie. things I CAN deduct to help me avoid some of the profit tax?
In the year of sale, if you have not deducted all of the points (also known as origination fees), you may deduct them on Schedule A.
Best advice is to seek out an experienced professional who can go into the details as mentioned above. It will be money well spent and can save you a lot in taxes.

Do I really have 33% taken for tax and national insurance? (UK)?
Latest question regarding Do I really have 33% taken for tax and national insurance? (UK)? from Yahoo: I am trying to work out how much I tax and national insurance I will be paying.
I have checked online
Direct.gov.uk say:
If you’re employed you pay Class 1 National Insurance contributions. The rates are:
•if you earn more than £110 a week and up to £844 a week, you pay 11 per cent of the amount you earn between £110 and £844
HMRC say
Basic rate: 20% £0-£37,400
So thats 11% for National Insurance and 20% for tax. So 33% off my wage?
Please tell me if I’m right might sound silly but just think thats a little HIGH 
Answer: Of course it’s high but we all have to pay it. Your NI contributions go towards your State pension, so be awkward and live past a 100.
