If you paid with Paypal you can file a claim with them, just do it before

30 days is up. If you paid via credit card you can file a claim with the credit card company, even if you paid via Paypal with a credit card. You can also file a fraud charge with the U.S. postal service if the item went through them. With the post office it would take a while to get your money though. You can also notify the police in her state/county, though most likely they will take a report and that is it, unless this is a habitual thing and others have complained.
Hopefully the administrator will be able to help you.

Sheri, can you at least file a claim
for the automatic $100 of insurance UPS has? I know it won't help immediately, but perhaps you can recover something.
Don't let him stiff you for the $ -- file a claim
Yeah. What's their point. What do they have to worry about. You can't file a claim against t
I think they need to get their facts straight.
If the file is 10,000 KB and you are being paid by a 65 character line sm
divide 10,000 by 65 for your line count. This has been done for years.

Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm
I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank. When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you
Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

No wonder they claim they want to (sm)
make us happy!! We are making them REAL happy!!
I did not say not to claim it
I did not advise her not to claim it, she can do what she wants. A company can expense out without filing a 1099. I have expensed out without doing 1099's before and have never been questioned by the IRS. In fact you have to notify the IRS that you will be filing 1099's. Do all hairdressers report all of their "cash" tips? I suppose you could do 1000 jobs at $500 each to make your 50K per year and not claim it but I doubt that you could find that many jobs. All we are talking about here is one job and that is what I based my answer on not the hypothetical "thousands of jobs under $500". I doubt that the amount she made would change her "owed taxes" except for social security and even then not that much. Sp again -- she needs to do what she feels is the correct thing to do and if she loses sleep over not reporting a couple of hundred dollars then report it but do not expect a 1099.
paypal
I am also a musician and I have paypal and have used it do purchase all of my sheet music and books online, works just like a visa.
no paypal ;)
No paypal for anything considered "adult" industry.
Don't ask me how I know this! ;)
PayPal?
If I understand correctly, you can use PayPal (through eBay) to pay for services. I read this in an article that the wireless service sent out. That is what they prefer, so it should work for something like this as well. Let me know what you find out.
Using Paypal...
Is it safe to purchase from someone online using paypal? I will have to read on how to use paypal but how can you be sure they will sell you what they said they will? Is there a way to protect myself?
TIA.
Thanks.
paypal.com (sm)
if you go to their web site and click on 'security' in the top right corner, that will take you to the page that explains the buyer protection program, if you want to see it with your own eyes and make sure you understand it better.
Also, I would ask for a delivery confirmation number or some other tracking number for your item, or even signature upon receipt, so you know when they mail it and they know when you get it, etc.
only get there by paypal.com
I agree... my account needs "updated" about twice a week. Every time I get one, I go to a new window and open paypal.com and if there is something they want me to know, there will be a message in there. If it's not there, the e-mail is fake.
...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
Those who claim to have so much compassion....
say so only to make themselves feel superior. You think you're better because you say what you say. But how much do you do? When Bush cut taxes, did you feel so strongly that it was a mistake that you insisted to continue to send in the former higher Clinton taxes? Or do you think that only those horrid selfish "rich" people should pay? Sounds bites and lip service.
claim was denied.
esd said that i was not laid off because of no work so that i could not claim. you have to be laid off because of no work or company shut down (like for inventory, etc.).
no dice. :(
I have my DH claim 0 and single, but we also have
extra $$ taken out of his check. We have been hit with a penalty of under $60.00 the past 2 years for not having enough taken out for state though. Hopefully this year we have taken out enough.
New studies claim..sm..
cell phones are perfectly safe to use in non-clinical areas, such as waiting rooms and hallways. Just Google hospitals "cell phones". Tons of info.
While I am not always a fan of Paypal, I feel there is
something not quite right with your story. Paypal NEVER hits bank accounts - they do other things, but not messing with bank accounts. That was one of those internet hoax horror stories. I have had even had a charge back once for over $200 from a nightmare customer - he had his credit card charge back Paypal and got his $200 back from Paypal. Paypal then had the right to take the $200 out of my bank account, as we ALL have bank accounts linked to our account, and they never did as I would not authorize that deduction. This was years ago. Again, they will take $$ you have in your Paypal account if they feel you owe them $$, but they do not go into your bank accounts without specific individual permission and reams of authorization. Sounds like you had a fraudulent TRANSACTION that went thru Paypal. They are just an intermediary, you know. That is different than Paypal just helping themselves to your finances. I use Paypal for literally thousands of dollars worth of transactions a year without a glitch, and have since its birth! Feel confident to donate using Paypal. One in a million horror story if something went wrong. And there are phone #s and contact people galore to talk to anytime at Paypal. Not true that they are "hidden" or inaccessible. I'm sure you had some sort of problem, but I don't think you may understand exactly what happened. Merry Christmas!!
My PayPal Story
I bought an item on ebay about a year ago. Paid with Paypal. Product was shipped but I never received it.
Apparently the delivery truck exploded.
PayPal's Buyer Protection reimbursed me every cent. All settled within one month.
A way to tell if PayPal is real or not...
One thing that PayPal tells you on their web site regarding spam emails is that they will NEVER send you an email from PayPal that is addressed to the general masses ("Dear PayPal User"). If it says Dear Sue and your name is Sue, then it might be real. If it says "Dear PayPal User" it is a hoax.
PayPal question
I have looked on the PayPal website and can't figure out how to do this...don't know where else to ask this question, so perhaps one of you might know the answer. I have an existing account that I use for PayPal when I win items from E-Bay, but I have recently gotten a job with a small MTSO who actually uses PayPal to pay transcriptionists. She informed me it doesn't cost anything to utilize this service, but my first check I got charged $10 to transfer it from PayPal account to my bank account. She tells me you have to set it up differently to get this to work. I have gone on my PayPal account and read everything I can find but nothing that states how you set this up. Anyone have a clue? If so, thanks for sharing.
My company also uses PayPal to
pay their transcriptionists and I lose $30 to $50 every paycheck because of PayPal's "fee" to transfer it. I don't think there's any way around it - at least not that I have found either.
Those whose companies use PayPal
I am surprised all the employees don't put up a fuss about that.
It is ridiculous that you lose money every time you transfer your own money.
I think you should tell your employer it is not acceptable to be paid that way. (Is there a way you can unite with other employees about this?)
What is the employer's reasoning for using this anyway? Why don't they go the standard direct deposit into bank accounts if they don't want to mail checks?
There are scam emails that claim to come from
Gotta be careful.
You claim it in 2009. If you did not receive
it in 2008, it does not matter it was owed, only what you received in the calendar year.
I'm afraid I'd have to see the evidence for that claim. sm
It would really take all the planets being lined up to see that kind of average production among that many people.
I have been using Paypal for years and have never had any problems.
see message about PayPal fraud
I went online one day to check my bank account balance and I was overdrawn. I was shocked. I saw an automatic withdrawal transaction for a company that I had never even heard of for a product that I had never even ordered.
The only thing that I went through PayPal for was a microcassette player that nobody else had bid on through ebay. I got that for 99 cents, plus shipping and handling. Incidentally it still works after nearly 2 years.
I called my bank and was told that the automatic withdrawal had gone through my PayPal account for a company I had never heard of for a "computer software item" that I never received, although I was charged for shipping.
I spent months attempting to receive a response from PayPal. I finally received an e-mail that said to print the attached affidavit of fraud, but found that the attachment could not be opened to be printed. PayPal finally agreed, via email, to give me a telephone number that I could contact and that I would receive that telephone number by US postal service within 2 to 3 weeks. Of course when I recieved the number and called it, I had to leave a message.
The recorded PayPal voice did eventually call me back when I was not at home and sent me another letter saying that I did not respond to their attempts to contact me.
Arrrrgh.
I filled out paperwork at my bank for fraud against PayPal, closed my bank account and eventually (almost one year later) received a bank check from my former bank for close to $300.00 in overdraft fees.
Apparently my former bank was going to collect from PayPal for their fraud. Whether or not they were successful in that attempt , I do not know.
My advice is to stay away from PayPal period. It may work for you now, but you never know. After all, they have all of your information.
I'm pretty sure this was not a Paypal issue, but
a fraud issue. I had a very similar situation happen with a credit card. I had a charge on my statement. I didn't recognize the name, there was a state listed on the statement where the company supposedly was, there was a phone number that was unlisted so I couldn't trace, but did find it was in a totally different state. When I called the number I got an answering machine with no identification of the company. I left a message but never got a return call. I called my credit card company and they credited my account. All the bank could tell me was that it was for software and I had not ordered any software. I'm not sure where this company got my credit card information. I haven't had the situation happen again.
Used PayPal for Ebay and they took out double the (sm)
money. Have tried ever since to get the second deduction back but as yet, no luck. Don't trust PayPal and certainly don't trust ebay anymore.
I got rid of my PayPal because of risks I have heard about. sm
Of course, it is a risk to do anything online at all where you have to input personal information.
Paypal debit card
We have a Paypal debit card that we can use just like any other check card/debit card. It just draws from the funds from your Paypal account. You can use it at the store, etc., and at the ATM. Even paying an ATM fee to get out cash would be less than the $10 charge to transfer. You might check on it.
The worst? pretty wide claim.

Seems like you're over-reacting to something that you claim not to care about.

You pay your home state tax, whatever percentage that is. You can claim
deductions for anything associated to your job....i.e., a percentage of your utilities, expenses such as supplies needed to do your job, etc. Save all receipts for any of those items that you purchase related to the job, and I think the 1099 would be sufficient.
their own issue. A lot of people claim bigotry to

If you think you can claim a part of rent as propety tax you can't.
It probably asks if you rent because then there would be no property taxes to claim. If you owned then there would be property taxes. It s/l it is walking you through the steps. You can claim property taxes for vehicles, but you have incurred no property taxes as you don't own your residence. I'm sure property taxes are considered when they decide how much to charge for rent, but who ever owns the property is paying the taxes and not you.
if you made less than 600 dollars they don't legally have to claim it.
Just found that out also as last year my IC job only started in October and didn't make enough for taxes. This year will be different though. My employer said consider it free money. Can't argue with that. Checked with H&R Block and they confirmed it.
Their claim to be 'not-for-profit' cracks me up.
They're making $$ hand over fist at those seminars. Love the photo of the race horses at the top. Bet more than a few of them own some. Oh - and most companies with an LLC behind them are in other countries. Like India and China, to name a couple.
Thanks Melinda. Certainly doesn't work like most claim. NM.
Don't trust PayPal as they took unauthorized money
out of my checking account causing checks to bounce, overdraft fees, etc. that gave me no option but to close my checking account and open one in a different bank. It took 9 months of paperwork before I was finally reimbursed by my former banking institution for all fees as well as the monies that PayPal withdrew from my account without my authorization.
PayPal, however, took no responsibility for their error.
I am in hopes that there is another way to donate without giving your information to a site that is unsecure, such as PayPal.
Please forward the Paypal notification to me and I will check into it.

If you have a Paypal account, pay to sales@mtstars.com. Thank you!
