    Any lawyers/law students in the house?

    First, I'll say that I know far, far too many landlords. Secondly, most laws dealing with tenant landlord issues are a state by state basis (if not county to county or even city to city). What are you hoping to accomplish with the letter? Be honest. If you want to get out of the water...

    Does the current agent have it up on the MLS (multiple listing service) in the area? Is there a sign in the yard that says it is for sale or is there an ad in the paper? How did you choose your RE agent (first one off the block, someone you knew, or did you screen them) As far as listing on...

    help: Salary range for this job description??

    As well as public acccounting is quit difference from the job duties you described. But that's just my opinion. Though I hear you, I ended up taking a 12.5/hr gig at a cpa firm as an intern (sort of, I may be hired at the end of tax season, hopefully) to just get experience. Since it seems...

    Becoming a professional partner (business)

    I didn't really mean starting up a partnership (or P.C., etc, but an organization with owners/partners that share the profit somehow and do the more typically white collar jobs), but more of joining an existing one. Though at some of the larger firms, I imagine that it would take a fair chunk...

    Becoming a professional partner (business)

    Hello all, I have a question that has been bugging me for the past few days. I've been told that a partnership interest in a firm (whether it be accounting, legal, medical or other professions) is usually worth some money (and even can be fought over in divorce court). I'm wondering how...

    if you're taking a trip and plan to do part of your home-based business on that trip, how much can be written off?

    It's sort of complicated. It depends on if the primarily purpose of the trip is business or if it is a personal trip with some business on the side. If the former, then you can deduct the transportation costs to and from as well as loding and a few other catergories; if the latter, then you...

    ATTN: Accountants! I think my bank is screwing me :( help!

    Wait a sec, the amount you are receiving as interest has changed a bit month to month. Part of the differences is because of the number of days in each month, like the amount paid out in nov for oct (which has 31 days) is higher than the nov check (which only had 30 days), paid in dec. And it...

However, if you have lived there less than the 2...

But to show that you didn't pay it until the next year, it shows up...
