Ask a tax guy. Since you pay rent, I would think so

MT for rent?
MTSO 1 needs MT but for some reason hasn't been able to fill the position(s) so subcontracts with MTSO 2 to use #2s employees for #1s work. MTSO 2 goes and hires MTs who will remain employees of MTSO 2 but do all their work through MTSO 1's server.
Anyone heard of something like this? They do not disclose the name of MTSO 1 when asked.
Why? Except for the rent all the rest is the same everywhere.

Anyone here rent a computer from MQ? I have a ?...
Did you fill out paperwork before you rented the computer? Did they immediately start deducting the cost from your pay for rental?
I've never filled out any paperwork for my computer, it was just mailed to me. Haven't seen rental deductions either. Did I do something wrong? 
Can you rent a car for about the same amount? sm
That way you could come and go as you pleased!
No rent that I know of, but cheaper to buy used on e-bay. nm

Yup! And newbies have to pay the rent and eat, too -

How do you rent a car without credit card?
I only use my debit card now. However, how do you rent a rental car without a credit card?
My rent, alone, is $1400. Including sm
utilities and everything else, probably about $3600, and I live alone.
For most the mortgage/rent is the most expensive.

Maybe it's paid for so she doesn't have to pay any rent.
And that's why she kept it. She did say in a post she doesn't earn much doing medical transcription. At least it's a roof over head head. Cut her some slack would ya?
Are there any places that rent C-phones? sm
I don't mean companies that you work for, but some independent company that you could rent one from. I had one for a long time, but then the company I work for went to wav files, and foolishly, I got rid of my C-phone. Now I have an opportunity at another company that requires a C-phone, but they don't supply them or rent them. Before buying something and then finding out the company stinks, I thought it would be nice to rent one. Maybe this is a farfetched idea, but thought I'd ask.
Thanks.
Well...let's see. In 4 years rent in our area has increased at least $500/mo.
Health insurance has gone up. Cost of prescription drugs has increased. Food has increased. Gasoline prices are now over $3 a gallon ($2.69 a gallon BEFORE the storm). Now they're saying that we can expect a 20% increase in our electric bills and up to 71% increase in our heating/fuel bills. All these increases and I've had a 40% CUT in pay. You can believe any paper, magazine, TV news show, or politician you want to believe. I believe my paycheck and my bills.
Yes, hound the renters every 5 days and at least get 1/2 of their rent
and then collect again in another 2 weeks.
Also, is the house a done deal? Can you back out of the purchase even if you took a loss? That might be the better way to go.
Lastly, you said your SUV took 30 bucks in gas. Is your SUV paid for and if so, can you sell it to get something more economical on gas? That might be an option until things get better.
Truly, these are just suggestions, meaning no disrespect.
Again, best of luck with everything!
What's *realistic* is that after I've paid my rent, (sm)
my utility bill, my car insurance, my ISP & phone bills, my medical co-payments, dental bill, etc., I usually have a choice between eating or buying gasoline. So currently my car sits in the carport, fuel-less and rarely driven, but insured - just so that I can continue my close relationship with Chef Boy-Ar-Dee and day-old (or older) bread.
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.
i'd suggest rent space on a system
I'd suggest you rent space on a system and skip the inital outlay of your money, tying up a phone line at home for the doc to call in.
A lady in the Seattle, Washington area has a system she rents space on. You can contact her at talk2meinc@aol.com
Good luck!!
If the softener doesn't work, then rent a steamer. nm

Made $5,500/yr. with full benefits at hospital. Rent 175.00. Car 75.00
I think back then we made more than the average secretary and the cost of living (Morgantown, WV) was low. I just remember that I had raises every year, one for performance and another for cost of living raises. My pay went up a few thousand every year with the raises, that much I recall. This was in 1977. West Virginia University Hospital. We had to be there at 8:15, one hour paid lunch, two 15 minute breaks and went home at 3:15. My supervisor sometimes took naps in the employee lounge. She was kick back. I learned how to speed read by researching Dorland's but terminology was not too out of the ordinary from what I recall. People who were ill back then had the usual problems (gallbladder, kidney stones, etc).
Rent an RV and go anywhere you would like -- My hubby and 3 dogs went across country last year and
had a great time! Also, Gatlinburg, TN has wonderful cabins that are pet friendly and lots for the kids to do, although more in the summertime.
Question inside about Renting from Rent-A Center. sm
What was your expeience? Is it very expensive? I was thinking about renting a laptop computer to use for work on vacation for a couple of weeks and not ready to invest in purchasing a new laptop yet. Can you rent things for about a month or do they require longer?
Thanks for any help you guys might give.');>![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/shake.gif")
Any ideas on how to get a cheap rental car? I haven't had to rent a car
in a very long time.
thanks so much!
OK. Now if your husband is bringing you down by his mental illness and not paying rent
(is husband able to work? how deep is this mental illness? did he have money to pay rent and spent it elsewhere?) then maybe you should think about leaving him rather than placing your kids in any kind of foster care. That has to be traumatic but then so does living on the street. Speaking of placing your children in foster care while you get yourself OK in the head, what is your problem at this point. You see, if there is a lot of arguing and a dysfunctional family living on the streets, then foster care to permanent placement may be better for them. I just don't quite understand how you got into this mess and if these are mental health issues on both your part and your husband's I would look into placing the children. BTW, how old are they?
So all things considered if you don't have any issues other than depression because of a lack of a place to live and your husband's mental health, I would go to a family member or church and BEG for help sorting your life out. If there is more than that going on, including maybe substance abuse along with permanent mental health issues that will keep you from caring for your children, yes I would seek placement for them. And I would seek PERMANENT placement rather than foster care which I would think would be more traumatic for your children.
Yes, 13.50 wouldn't rent you a studio apartment where I live. And agree

True but that is to cover the expenses like rent, office supplies, sm
manager salaries. That does not include payroll that is based on service.
A good example woould be this: You are starting a book store. You need to plan the original inventory and six months worth of expenses. If you sell that inventory, you use the money from that to buy more books. If you do not sell any at first, you can stay in business for six months while you get noticed.
With transcription or any service business, you need enough in the bank to cover the same expenses, those that can keep you afloat while building your client base. However, you only hire more people as you get more customers. The payroll does not figure into the 6 months as it is based on what you provide, whereas the 6 months takes into account what it takes to get it going even if you do not have 1 employee.
Very, very few companies can have $800,000 lying around. If they did, they probably would need to invest it in equipment or spend it in other ways or the IRS would consider it profit and tax the heck out of it!
Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.

right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were &#
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

sorry I didn't have time to thank you, but I didn't forget!!
Didn't you tell me?!?!? No, Liza, you didn't tell me. Hooray for you! lol

Didn't know you could do that...
I didn't know you could pick and choose, thought you just went with what came onto your computer.
Didn't know
How come Transcend isnt allowed to post here? Because of taking on new clients? I dont understand what that means. They don't offshore, right?
Wow. Didn't like that one bit.
I feel sorry for the employees. I can't believe they were making that much inhouse! I was only making $12.00 and had to answer phones, file, photocopy, greet patient's etc. I left to do this and actually make a bit more (and saving tons on gasoline), but to be making $150.00 a day and have benefits? That's gotta hurt. My former employer "offered" benefits, but my health insurance was nearly $600 a month out of my pocket. My husband insures us now for half that. I can't imagine not having that.
I was offended by the part of the article that referred to at home transcriptionists making errors,etc. I know for a fact that most big companies do not hire "newbies." My poor niece was under the impression that all she had to do was take the MT course (don't remember the name, but it was a good one). Even though she graduated early with high honors, she still can't find a job with a national. She found a few local accounts and is only making 5.5 cents per line.
I don't know about everyone else, but I've been doing this for 16 years and I found the "testing" for nationals frustrating! I thought I failed miserably and was shocked when I was hired as my testing was 98% (2 of four dictators being fast talking ESLs and ER reports which I have never done and won't do again).
Ad in my paper today says: "You too can work at home! Become a Medical Transcriptionist!" Seminar held at the holiday Inn and the ad gives the impression that anyone that can actually use a keyboard will be hired right off and make tons of money.
No way, tell me they didn't...sm
"they took out internet fees, insurance, etc."
Maybe I misunderstood the above. You don't mean your regular benefit deductions from a paycheck, do you? I can understand taking out taxes, but I'd raise holy heck about taking out benefit deductions. It certainly is not a regular payroll paycheck.
Along those same lines, I recently separated from a company that I worked for 2-1/2 months. When I first started, I had signed up for health insurance and the flexible spending account. You know, there's usually a 3-month waiting period before these benefits begin, and before they start taking out the deductions. Since I gave notice before the 3 months was up, I was shocked to see they began taking the deductions out on my last paycheck. I told the supervisor that I wanted that money back. They did make me wait for the next payroll, but I received that money back just today! It's worth a try!
2 cents, huh? As if you're not insulted already by the fact that they cheated you in the first place. The MTs should demand to know how they arrived at their amounts, and then be able to verify it.
I worked for them for 2 years and my line counts rarely matched theirs. Supervisors could not explain the discrepancy either. Two months after I quit, the news about the MT class-action lawsuit came out. Personally, I don't trust them.
Have a great time shopping on your unexpected money!!
I didn't have any out of the NE
yesterday either...the Warminster office. Haven't checked yet today...almost afraid to!
No I didn't see
Scarborough Country last night. This whole mess is so sad and government at all levels is a disgrace. People quibbling over whether they are "refugees" or "evacuees." How utterly ridiculous. Not to mention the quibbling over those who deserve help and those who don't. Those who have already been receiving social services from the government will continue to receive priority help from the government and those who are trying to help themselves will be forgotten just as they have always been.
Didn't you know....
It's more important in PC America to have somebody who speaks every other language EXCEPT English, so that those who can't speak English will be able to conduct their business. In So. California you can hardly get a job dealing with the public unless you can speak Spanish. Same with the border towns in Texas. Talk about discrimination. However, your situation was probably the almighty buck... Cheaper to contract to the call answering centers in India than to hire someone here. I once had to call a tow truck with my AAA card. Guess what? Somebody in India trying to dispatch a tow truck in the United States. Couldn't understand me whatsoever. Same with my computer support number... India. The guy had me clicking on this and that to fix my little problem and before I knew it, he had me return my computer to factory settings (didn't tell me ahead of time and I knew the second I hit the button what I was doing, but it was too late) and I lost everything saved on my computer. I was LIVID!
It is 26% , not 30%. I didn't say 30%.
Get it right. Geez.
Sorry, no. But I didn't want to let
I'm sure you already know there's lots of information on line. My guess is that you wanted to hear someone's personal experience with the same problem. I'm a relative "oldie" myself. 
I also don't have to tell you that your orthopedist is your absolute best and clearest source of information. The only suggestion I do have is that you develop a list of specific questions to ask him, and only him, during your upcoming appointment. Good luck.
I didn't know
they had any ads posted. I was just searching around, googled Transcription companies and found their name, went to web page, etc.
The Website sounds like a totally legit, US MT co. You would never know it was offshore unless you asked. Good thing you asked before you went any further. Wonder why they ran an ad for US MTs if they are offshore? Maybe trying to get a US side started? I will have to keep the reverse lookup in mind, but Im sure not all companies will be that sloppy. I wish there was another way to find out that stuff. Were they nasty to you when you told them you wouldn't type for them? Thanks for the info!!!!
Well, I'[m sure she didn't think of that one!
...and I suppose you are perfect...never made a mistake or had bad judgement? This is NOT what she needs right now. Don't you think she knows she did wrong? Get over it. She is asking some very serious questions and doesn't need any moral opinions, okay?
They said I didn't have...sm
enough experience, which I thought was strange because I have nearly 10 years. They passed on hiring me without so much as a test or speaking to me, and now I am the QA director of another company. Kind of funny. Their loss, not mine! Glad I stayed where I am at.
Sorry, should be DIDN'T see that one.
s
I didn't see it as an ask for help.
deal with it everyday and do my best and go on.
Oh, Wow! Didn't think....
it would be that easy. I was absolutely in the dark on this. 
I will be using the other keyboard, though, because the letters are completely worn off this one. 
Maybe the best, but I tried em and didn't like em.

i didn't say
I worked for a national. Matter of fact i work for a very small company.
didn't anyone tell you to take them at the same
time every day, not the morning 1 day and noon the next, etc?
I didn't have a mean QA, BUT!!!
I had one that made me feel more than inadequate! Nitpicky corrections EVERYWHERE!!! Going as far as--if the whole report was dictated in present tense and 1 word was dictated past, and I changed it to present, I would hear about it--then again, if I didn't change it, I would hear about it, too! It was a no win situation for me.
There were always dumb corrections being made to my reports, always non-medical. I just felt like no matter what way I would do something...I would get corrected back to the other way. I never, EVER got any corrections back that were necessary. Never changed the meaning of any report! I was to the point where I was spending 8-9 hours on 30 minutes of dictation..and I am NOT KIDDING!! trying to make sure that all of the "little" words were perfect. I was so paranoid the whole time--only to get more corrections!
I have QA'd at 99% to 100% monthly (never dropping below) on a verbatim accounts for 2 other companies and just could never understand why I couldn't do ANYTHING right for the other company. 
Needless to say, I am a lot happier now with a much higher line count for sure!! Lol, making as much, if not more, elsewhere in 5 hours a day as I was for the other place 8-9-10 hours a day.
Sorry. I didn't mean to come across as
nasty. There are a lot of companies that pay by report and are good companies. MDI-FL, Keystrokes, MTS, T-South and MVTS all pay by report and I'm sure there are more. Again I apologize for sounding rude.
