I've always claimed my computer but did it over a three year period each time I purchased a new one.

Claiming..
Just curious how this works? If I bought a new computer this last year, do I get to claim all of it on taxes or just a percent of it? I am an IC.
Thanks!
Look who is claiming.....???

Husband claiming less for taxes.
I heard this might not be a good idea and that you can get penalized by the IRS anyway. Any ideas what works best for any of you? Should I have my husband claim less to make up for my taxes or, should I pay quarterly? If this helps, I do have 2 kids.
Thanks in advance!!
Husband claiming less for taxes.
Thanks! Do you have any kids? I am just wondering if that is included as well, since you tend to get money back for kids. I am hoping my two kids well help put us even, instead of paying in..
We have 2 kids and DH claiming 0 and single, but
we still have had to pay about $1500 in state, so just claiming as DH does and the kids is not enough to avoid additional taxes. We also have lots of other deductions such as energy savings, taxes on property, mortgage interest, etc.
Husband claiming less for taxes.
Thanks everyone for your help. I think I will have my husband drop to a 2, then I will have to ajust accordingly. 2006 will be my first full year doing taxes as an IC. By saying exemption 2 at a single rate, you mean not married right? I just want to make sure I am understanding everyone (taxes are not my thing)!!!
To all ICs claiming huge deductions...(sm)
I just met with my accountant yesterday. I am so sick I cannot think straight. I asked alot of people before moving ahead with an IC position and leaving employee status. EVERYONE stated that the deductions you can write off are more than worth paying the extra SS taxes that you no longer have an employer to pay. I even saw several people specifically state they lowered their taxable income by $10,000 or more so the IC status was well worth the headache of paying the extra taxes.
Well, I would sure love to know how in the world you ladies come up with these deductions. The accountant said my total deductions for my home office came to about $2400. But then my SS taxes I owed ate up that plus about another $1500. Are those of you reaping in huge deductions working strictly via the internet? I have no gas, mileage, vehicle wear/tear deductions because I'm strictly internet based. But even with considering those deductions, if I had them, I still cannot see where in the world you all are coming out so much better. Someone please offer suggestions/comments....have I just completely screwed myself over here or do I need a new accountant?? 
SS is abused now as people with "disabilities" are claiming more and more.
I know what SS is supposed to be used for, but I get angry at people who abuse the privilege to receive such money. It angers me that as I pay into this program I may not see it when I retire and *need it* while others are using it now for *disabilities*.
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...

Computer help, please - sm
I know this should be easy BUT, tell me how to find the version of Windows that I have. I can't find where it says this.
TIA.
New Computer?
I have only ever had Dell computers, but like you said, I'm tired of getting someone named Bobby, who can't speak English. I quit buying from them and went to my local computer place and had one built. Now, when I have a problem, I get someone who speaks English. IF you live in a big town, check around. I live in a small town and it was easy to find out what was what. I would still rather have a Dell, but I don't do anything off shore anymore. The price of a small place is not that much different than buying from the places you mentioned and is a lot less wear and tear on the nerves.
First computer
The first computer I ever used was a Rayethon (think that is the spelling) computer. It was enormous, took up my whole desk, LOL. Nothing like nowadays. Wonder whatever happened to Rayethon?
computer
I tried it and mine did the same as yours.
MQ computer
I got to use one of their computers free while I was training and continued until I was off probation. Then the fee started coming off my checks. But, the repeating theme seems to be all the offices are different.
computer
I have two HPs. I think I will do the same.
it's not the computer
You need a little stereo adaptor that you can buy from radio shack. It costs a few dollars. I'm presuming you have a a cord that connects into the computer. Okay, now, you plug the adaptor into the cord and your headset into the adaptor.
Voila!
Does you computer have enough
memory and disk space for an upgrade like this? The reason I wonder is once I upgraded my old computer and found that XP takes a lot of resources and the whole computer was bogged down and never worked right after that. Ended up buying a new one with XP already on it.
I think you can only do this on a computer with XP- sm
they did this so you could use the 98 programs on the computer with XP. I don't have either of your programs on my computer (use a physical book for the drugs and google) but I installed old Lotus, my Bytescribe, ShortHand, Quicken, various art programs, WP 5.1 DOS, can't remember them all but they all work fine. I have Stedman's spellchecker which was on my old 98, now on my XP, though I do upgrade that every couple years so that one is irrelevant.
oh, and I would use my own computer...sm
They would supply the transcription equipment.
probably better to buy a computer...
fro0m a place that sells computers, rather than an MTSO. That way if you need to move on, no problems.
Use of Computer
It doesn't bother me at all. The only person who uses my computer on occasion is my daughter for school work or to look up things on the internet She has to ask first though and never goes anywhere near where my files for work are kept (she wouldn't even know how to find them). It helps that my husband doesn't know anything about computers or the internet so he's never a problem.
I would never let anyone come near my computer
much less use it!! That's the one thing I have that is mine!
New Computer
Hi Everyone! I am lucky enough to finally buy a new computer, but am not very knowledgeable and so am stumped about what to buy. I have a Pentium III now, very ancient, and just want to get rid of dial-up Internet and burn CDs. Any hints??? Thanks!!!
computer help
Okay, I will try this a second time, hopefully I will get this to post. This is just an idea of how un-computer-savvy I am and will be showing my ignorance. I always worked in house until I got laid off. Now I am working at home, using company provided software. I stumbled upon a web site for freelance work, not medical. I would like to try it to supplement my work. My question is, if I got an assignment, would I just go into their website and go from there, do I need to get my own software for this sort of thing, any help would be appreciated. I am an old dog now trying to learn new tricks!
My PCP uses the computer to
keep track of everything going on including labs and such. He can push a button and the labs are in his "grill". I would much rather it be that way than have to wait for a faxed copy. My PCP is great, and he still listens. He just uses this as a way to expedite script writing, etc. There are also hospitals that allow physicians to access their database, so it is not really far off. I think it was actually Hillary Clinton (who may run for president) that would like EHR to be universal, but I think it is more for consistency and to make patient access easier for specialists to follow and the such, etc., etc.
Computer
A computer is deductible. Spend as much as you think you need to spend to get the computer you need.
Do you know where it is on the computer?
If you can find the specific file on the computer, probably the easiest would be to highlight it and then right-click on it. Delete should be among the options. That would send it to the Recycle Bin, so to delete it for good you'd have to empty the bin.
Did that help?
could you not set up FTP on your computer? sm
i worked for someone before that had an FTP on their computer. all i did was put in their FTP address into the web address bar online and went into their system of course with passwords, etc. then i was able to access whichever folders they gave me permission to access. you could just let the entire office that needs it know the passwords to get in and pick up the work. like have a completed files folder in there or something. i think winXP has its own FTP built in, not sure though.
looking for a computer
new/used, windows XP, pentium III or ?, word 2002/2003, Stedman Speller. Helpful suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
You can always get a new computer..sm..
later and another job later. Without your health, you have nothing. I vote take care of your health and your son. Yes, you'll have to count pennies, but like I said, without your health you have nothing. What happens to your son if something happens to you? He'll really be without then.
I would have run from computer with that one!

COMPUTER HELP
Has anyone ever had their icons disappear from their desktop? If so, how did you retrieve them? Thanks
computer
can you go back to the main screen and left click anywhere on the page to get to properties and then click on settings?
Does anyone besides you use computer?

Where could I get the most computer for my SM
buck. I'm thinking we are going to buy a new computer with part of our tax return (our current one is 6+ years old) and am wondering what you all suggest? I'm hoping to stay around $600.
It would mainly be used for work, cruising the internet, watching DVDs (maybe...not totally necessary). MAYBE I'll be adventurous this year and try to get a little account of my own :)
So, what do you all recommend I consider buying?
Chickadee
No. Each computer is different, but
I have an HP that I can do a repair, without having to do a complete reinstall.
Don't know what your issue is, but maybe you can just to a system restore.
Perhaps you should be off the computer and in bed

No need to buy a new computer......
just install a serial port on you computer and buy an adapter with a 9-pin plug for the serial port.
computer
I just bought a new computer from Dell in May and was able to get it with XP Pro in it. You have to build the computer from scratch with it in it, but I have found XP to be better to work in than Vista. You might have to dig around in the website to do it, but it can be done. I have an inspiron 530s that does what I need and then some along with the XP. Had it in less than a 10 days and just turned it on and started working.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
One computer
for all accounts. I'm just set up with different VPN and programs for each account.

Thanks so much for the info!
need new computer with old XP!!

TIA
Why would my computer not...sm
download or open a .gid file. (A file with .gid at the end.) Instead of saying open or save, it says find or save. When I hit find it sends me to a search page with websties that give info for not unloading .gid files. It said something about downloading some "regcure," which cleans your registry. It cost $30 to do it. Do you thing errors on my registry is causing this to not downloard, or is it I simply don't have the right software or something. When I hit save it says does not recognize this file. Basically it couldn't downloard. Does anyone have any knowledge of this? I am at a loss.
new computer
Make sure you find out what software and operating systems you need first. I just got a brand new HP slimline which of course came with VISTA, only to find out I needed XP. So, I had to pay someone to get VISTA off and put XP on and find all the drivers, etc. that would be needed to operate. It also had Office 2008 and guess what, I need Word 2003 for a new account that I am going on. Now, I have to wait for that to come. Fortunately, I could find it to purchase still. Good luck. But as far as manufacturers, Dell, Mac, HP all good machines.
computer
I just purchased a Dell with XP, so it can be found. I got lucky as my local computer store owner in a small town, so no major electronic company, had purchased several of them at once, and I got one. It may cost more, and maybe have to purchase online and do some research. Even taking the Vista off and putting on XP can cause some problems in the "background" of the computer.
