Thwap the husband on the head, buy the keyboard, save the receipt, deduct it from your taxes.
I wouldn't even ask my husband for something like that, any more than he asks me if he can fill up his car with gas so he can get to work! Sheesh! What a prince of a guy you've got there.... You get your keyboard, girl!
Taxes, SS, fed and state, how do I sm
figure out how much to set back from my pay in order to pay the required taxes? Any websites out there to help me figure this out? TIA
Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
What do you mean? They pay/deduct all but state taxes?
.
Yeah, really. Why should we pay state taxes
in the company's state as well as our residence state? That's double taxation. Although, the way I read it was that it was for people who go into the office part of the time. True telecommuters. Most of us don't.
not really, state taxes are not the problem here-sm
it's the property taxes that are out of control
I did not pay state taxes last year...sm
and wanting to get them paid now ASAP so it will not delay my tax return now. Does anyone know how the quickest way I can do this and get credit so as to not mess up the timing of my tax return. It was only like $130.00 but we have had such financial hardship this past year that that was hard to come up with at times. I was wanting to do Turbo Tax like I have for the past few years. Any ideas? Thanks!
Telecommuters being asked to pay taxes for home state of
By TOM HERMAN and RACHEL EMMA SILVERMAN
Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
November 1, 2005
A move by the Supreme Court means that many telecommuters could ultimately face higher income-tax bills.
The nation's highest court yesterday declined to hear an appeal by a Tennessee man who telecommuted to New York and was charged by that state for taxes on all his income. Because the Supreme Court won't review his appeal, New York's decision stands.
Many telecommuters could face higher state income-tax bills if other states are emboldened by New York's success and enact similar rules that tax out-of-state telecommuters. Some members of Congress already have introduced legislation to protect telecommuters from such taxes.
Some 9.9 million people work at home full- or part-time for employers other than themselves, according to the Telework Advisory Group at WorldatWork, an association for human-resources professionals. As telecommuting has become increasingly popular in recent years -- and as higher gas prices make commuting even more expensive -- millions of people are working in one state for employers in other states. Tax issues may arise over which state or states can tax a worker's income.
New York, a high-tax state that's home to many large corporations, has pursued out-of-state telecommuters aggressively. "By its silence, the Supreme Court permits other states to do the same," says Nicole Belson Goluboff, an attorney who has written extensively on telecommuting law. "Any state might find this attractive and go ahead and start taxing nonresidents."
A handful of other states, including Pennsylvania and Nebraska, already have rules similar to New York's.
The case at issue involved Thomas Huckaby, a computer specialist who lives in Nashville. Earlier this year, New York's highest court, in a 4-3 decision, said Mr. Huckaby owed New York taxes on all of his income from a New York employer -- even though Mr. Huckaby had spent only about 25% of his time in New York and the other 75% in Tennessee.
The Huckaby case involved a New York State tax-department rule affecting people who live in another state, work for a New York employer and occasionally come to New York on business. That rule says income from work performed out of state is taxable by New York unless it's done for the employer's "necessity." Mr. Huckaby acknowledged his employer didn't require him to work in Tennessee, says Peter L. Faber, a New York lawyer who represented him. Mr. Faber argued New York's "convenience" test violated state law and the U.S. Constitution by taxing income earned out of state.
The New York rule could have wide-ranging implications. It may affect not only people like Mr. Huckaby, but also others who live in neighboring states, work in New York and choose to do some of their work at home. "We need federal legislation" to protect both types of workers, Ms. Goluboff says.
Consider the case of Edward A. Zelinsky, a law-school professor who lives in New Haven, Conn., and teaches at a law school in New York City. He says New York taxed him on all his law-school wages even though he spent 60% of his time at home doing research, writing, and grading exams and papers. Prof. Zelinsky lost his case in New York's highest court, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the decision in 2004.
New York adopted its rule many years ago. Officials were concerned about commuters who lived in a neighboring state, such as Connecticut, and brought work home on weekends, worked on Saturday and Sunday, and then claimed to owe New York tax on only five-sevenths of their income, instead of 100%.
Telecommuters might get a reprieve if Congress passes proposed legislation called the Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act. The bill, which seeks to prevent states from collecting taxes from employees for work performed outside that state, was sponsored by Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd and Republican Rep. Christopher Shays, both from Connecticut. Under the bill, workers would have to be physically present and working in a state for that state to be allowed to collect income tax from employees.
Sen. Dodd said yesterday that the court's move "underscores the need" to take legislative action.
The Supreme Court announcement is not a decision on the case's merits. The lower-court ruling stands and could, of course, lead other states to enact such rules. But it doesn't mean that the court has decided the issue or that such laws will be upheld if appealed in the future. Copyright © 2005 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
right, taxes are paid in the state where you earn 'em...
since you work at home, you earned your wages in your state and pay them to your state.
Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
1 ck to feds, 1 ck to state, divide last year's taxes into 4 payments...

For my company, I do not save any
patient files on my laptop, so therefore no breech of security is possible and I transfer the files over the internet, just the same as with my PC.
Maybe if they feel the company is unethical, they're trying to save others

Not only would I have withheld your...
paycheck, but I also would have sued! That is just downright unethical and immoral to go behind the MTSO's back and steal a client!!!! You are the reason we MTSOs feel we have to have a non-compete. It has happened to me in the past and it is just wrong. Ethics have completely gone by the wayside in this country. It is such a shame!! Where have all the good people gone...I'm just frustrated with MT all together. MTs these days are unethical, unreliable, and you people wonder why Nationals have outsourced overseas! What a shame.....
The MTSO has always withheld my
state taxes, have worked for company in NJ and in Indiana. They have to pay whatever is required by the state to be licensed in that state to have employees.
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy. We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location.
what state is this company in? There are
different ways to get things taken care of depending on the state.
What about naming the city and state of the company?

If a state has a minimum wage, how can a company (not MT) pay
that companies have to at least pay minimum wage?
Line rates are set by company, not state.

I did try to save the file first but it wouldn't even let me save it.

You have your W2 showing very clearly those taxes were paid. MQ is responsible for those taxes
because you were a statutory employee. That is the responsibility of the employer to pay those just as though you were an employee.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
As an IC when paying taxes, are SS and fed taxes sent SM
to the same place?
varies from state to state...nm

Some people just CHOOSE to live in DE NILE (DENIAL) and we all see you are ONE OF THOSE.
Some of us CHOOSE to go through life as a REALISTS!
  
Things are different from state to state, but I think
you probably could, if you are actually "laid off." You would have to get a letter from your surgeon regarding your temporary disability status and take to the unemployment office and to Medicaid....but you know how Medicaid works, 1.5 pennies over the income limit, you don't get it. But, as I stated, laws differ from state to state, so you would have to inquire or go on their websites and see what they will approve and what they will not.
If not in your state, try filing in THEIR state. Then they

Each state has different laws. Where I live, if I have clients in the same state I live in, yes I ne
have clients from another state, no I do not need a license. Every state is different. I checked with my attorney and the State Business offices.
THANK YOU! That is my point. She still pays taxes, her DH still pays taxes...
so who exactly is getting cheated? And just who are you talking about when you talk about whether it is "fair" or not. I don't give a crap how much taxes my neighbor pays. It's none of my business. And if I found out they were paying less in taxes than me, I would ask them how they heck are they doing it so I can do it too!
I just want ask, is it necessary to get personal and insult? You disagree with me, fine. But I've been called a liar, a cheat, a no-ingetrity thief, my intelligence has been insulted, and I have had my parenting skills questioned. That is a little over the top. If you cannot debate an issue without resulting to personal attacks, then YOU are the stunted one!
It is a very good thing that some of you work at home, ALONE! You are sorely lacking in people skills and diplomacy. Let me guess, when you worked in the office you were one of those girls who didn't like to share her desk, griped if someone dropped a crumb on your desk, and kept track of everyone's breaks, lunches, and line counts just so you could tattle to the supervisor! I've worked women like you, it was like working with kindergarteners. That's why I came home to work. Do us all a favor, looking in the mirror, count your wrinkles, and realize that this isn't high school anymore!
save it for another day
Yes, I agree with you, but apparently some people are unable to NOT be rude, so I have decided to give it up for today..... it just takes to much energy to argue. Not to mention, they can't even grasp the fact that you and I are two DIFFERENT PEOPLE................. so, there ya go.
oh, and bye the bye, in the churches I grew up in Amen was a form of agreement.
Can you tell me how you save your
that it cannot be saved. I'm sure this is a no brainer and I'm making it worse by thinking too much about it - any help would be appreciated.
Will somebody save me?
 Hi, deep trouble here. Reorganized under my desk (bad mistake, I guess, although the cords are nice and lined up now) and when I plugged the C-phone back in it went crazy and now I get dial tone from handset, but that is all. Can't find the manual after searching for hours. Anyone know what might be wrong or if I need to reprogram this thing? I went to their website, but it is down at the place where you sign in. Of course! Can't work, so need as much help as I can get. Thanks in advance.

Even if you save yourself a
template, you still listen to the entire report and change the words as necessary. You don't leave it if that's not how it's dictated. Setting up your own template saves time & Keystrokes because a lot of times you will have entire sentences or sections the same, but you still must ALWAYS listen to the entire report & make any and all changes.
In addition to OPs, I also make macros for PEs, ROSs, etc., for dictators who usually are repetitive.
I always use RXList. com on the web and save
paper that way:)
Did you save the sound
Did you save that sound file on your computer? That has surely got to be a first!!

Do yourself a favor & save yourself a ton
of grief. Get a reputable real estate agent and don't screw with these FSBO agents. I promise that all they will do is take your money and won't really WORK to sell your house. That's the difference. A REPUTABLE agent will work their butts off to sell your house.
It will save the phrase but not

Then seriously, save it to your desktop. That's it.

save it to a disc

Save and print
I print and deliver, save on hard drive for one year and then on CD or zip forever it seems. Finally went through and threw out files from 10 years ago.
Is there someway to save something
like the end of a letter. i.e. Thank you for the referral of the patient. Sincerely, Doc's name etc. He ends all his letters the same way. My niece said that somehow I could put that in my computer and just push something like F7 and it would automatically print that. Have any idea about this? Thanks!
Save as option
I do not use Word, but is there a save as option? From there it may give you options as to what type of file to save as. I think if you choose something like a text file, it may get rid of formatting, but not sure.
try save as and change to .wav
The answer is yes but always save
your files before you do any upgrade just to be on the safe side. You can open 2003 documents in 2007 and they open just like they always have. Word 2007 opens them in compatability form but that is not something you see its built in to the program. However, unless you save your documents as "Word 97-2003 Document" (already built in to the options of 2007 when you click save as or you can set it up to always do that) anyone else without 2007 will not be able to open them unless they have the compatability patch. Same with Excel documents.
I have both intances of 2003 and 2007 running on my computer and can swtich back and forth without any problems.
Feel free to email me directly with any other questions.
Tried that... and still doesn't save right or
load for my autotext. :(
I think the advice you got to get it, try it, save the
receipt was good advice. What do you expect. How rude.
Did you save any of the e-mails
If so, then just include that with a nice letter to your past employers about the fact that your working arrangement did not work out.
If that doesn't work, you may want to see if there is a way to sue her for defamation of character. She has to have good grounds to be calling your previous employers. Was this the lady at Seascript? She seemed to have some problems, but I think she was getting help.
