i forget. when you buy alcohol, is it taxed? i'm just trying to see if i have enough for champagne lol.
There used to not be a sales tax on alcohol since it was already taxed by the state. Then the states got greedy and double taxed it. So there would be sales tax on it too in most states.

Although, come here to Delaware and there will be no sales tax since we don't have one.
The federal government does not impose a tax on alcohol. But almost every state does. It depends on what state you live in. Here in Illinois the alcohol tax is huge. There is a 10% sales tax plus an alcohol tax totaling around $2 a bottle : (
when you ask a question be specific and provide all variables. i live in maine. we have enormous taxes, so all the abusive alcoholics go to New Hampshire to buy booze. Low taxes there. maine would tax an erection if they could figure out how.
Yes, and it depends on which state you are in. The only ones that don't have tax are Oregon, Montana, New Hampshire, Alaska.
There are state and federal alcohol taxes on beer, wine and spirits. Sales tax is also charged on the retail price.
Both the federal and state governments have hefty excise taxes on alcohol.
There's a sales tax a sin tax, the amount depends on your state however.
Yes

We have a kid who just got into college and we are thinking of what to invest in so that when he is out of college the investment can be handed over to him. We were considering Real Estate and Stocks. Which is preferable?
Parents like you should develop a solid plan so that you can support your kids all the way through college. Your decision is very important because you can only benefit from real estate investing over the long term. You can’t expect immediate success in the real estate business. You need to be dedicated, knowledgeable, patient, and hardworking. You need to devise a solid investment plan to ensure that your money will not go to waste. Students often rely on scholarships, student loans, part time jobs, and savings to pursue their studies. Now, there is another option and that is real estate investing. Even the students can take part in the decisions related to real estate investments.

It would take several years before you can see the fruits of your labor. While you’re child is young, you should already consider real estate investing. Learn from the experts and try to contact a mortgage broker. Also, don’t forget to choose a real estate attorney to help you with all the legal matters. Savings is very important and you should already have one named after your child. Your child will surely be able to pursue any college degree if you prepared for his or her future at an early date.

Parents should consider building an investment portfolio for their kids to support the college years. If you already have a savings account, you can earn interest on the real estate investments. Most parents are hesitant to be in the real estate business especially if their children are still young. But this should not be the case; set long term goals and start real estate investing now. When you’re child is already older, you will still need to establish short term goals. By starting early, you can already learn so much from the market conditions.
I think it comes down to your level of comfort and your long term goals for the investment. If you'd simply like to help your child purchase a home, you can help your child when they finish college with the FHA loan program which allows you (as parents) to co-borrower and help with down payment with them and not have the loan classified as an investment property. The advantage here is your child begins building mortgage credit at that time. If you purchase ahead and hand over to your child, you can certainly put them on title to give them ownership but they wouldn't be building their credit profile in this case…and credit is certainly important.

Certainly, stocks would come down to your level of comfort in this arena, your time investment time horizon and risk tolerance, but stocks can definitely yield gains over the long run and be a very solid way to give your child a head start in the area of finance.

If you have a financial advisor that you trust, consult with them so they can help you take a closer look at both options.
I did this for my son and daughter when they entered college.

Ideally, you put some money in both stocks and real estate. Some good solid mutual funds with a good track record for increasing in value over long period of time, and partial ownership in real estate.

Remember, you can only give him $10,000 per year or he will have to file it as income and pay taxes on it. Be sure to put the mutual funds in an tax deferred account such as College Savings Account or IRA. so YOU don't have to pay income taxes on the appreciation / interest earned. Your son can pay the taxes when he draws the money out, at a much lower tax rate than you pay (college students normally have low income tax brackets)

I bought a rental and put $10,000 in his name worth in his name. We shared the tax advantages and income from the rental unit based on his % of ownership. When he graduated we sold the rental for twice what we paid. He received a share of the sales proceeds based on his % of investment.

It gave him a nice sum to start out life on and he still has the Mutual Fund Shares to use when needed.
Real estate is the way to go IF you can afford it. They have excellent tax benefits. But since it takes a lot of work managing it, you may want to hold off until you get out of college. Try stocks now. If you're a rookie in investing or stocks, go to

www.finance.yahoo.com.

Open up a portfolio without using real money. You can give yourself as much or as little money to try out the market. The stocks you want to focus on is consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and healthcare. These are DEFENSIVE stocks that will survive through good and bad times. Most of my positions are in these stocks. Some names include 3M, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly Clark, Exxon Mobil, Walmart, Costco. Everybody's got to eat and wipe their butts regardless of the state of economy. Many of these companies survived through the Great Depression.

That's the benefits. You can sleep at night knowing your money is doing well. There are NO guarantees that you won't lose money. It's just that these stocks are the best. They pay good dividends too.

Then once you're comfortable and test the waters of the market, you can finally put some real money in. Go to Scottrade.com. They're excellent for beginners.
I'm a Realtor in a college town. I've helped many parents buy a property for there children to live in while they are in school. They have to pay to live somewhere any way. why not in there own place. Many have roommates that help with the mortgage and utilities so it doesn't cost more, and some times it is less then paying rent. When they finish school after 4-5 years they sell it and use the equity to buy a home where they get a job.

Every market is different, but here we average about 5%-6% annual appreciation. Ever in this down turn, our market has been stable.

whats the career you can make loads of money like salary about really high
Top CEOs of companies earn 12 million or more. Then top CFOs also make in the millions.
Depends; I know some people who work fairly mundane jobs that make buckets of money because they work 70 hours a week. And there are some CEO's that make zillions. You can make as much money as you are smart enough (either book smart; work smart, or street smart) as you are willing. Instead of worrying about the highest career in money, I'd think about what I'd want to do and still be happy, have balance in my life, and enjoy this one trip thru.
I suggest that you take an aptitude test. An aptitude test assesses your skills and your interests and matches you to the careers that are right for you.
Check with the high school adviser for one or your college/university (they have some awesome tests). Or, failing those, go to the workforce development agency (unemployment office) One really good one is called JobFit. Beware of the internet scams.
Once you take the test it will help identify careers that take little or no education clear up to a doctorate. Hope this helps.
Corporate CEO. Their salary can range up to $50 million per year or more. With stock awards they can get much higher than that.
a solicitor or lawyer

i mean what services does belton co produce
They offer several financial services for companies and individuals. Here is a link to their site where you can get more info about them:

It depends on Company to company, i.e broker to broker..You need to check out the policy/rules and regulations of the broker you are signing to.

When these talking heads get on tv and boohoo over people dying because not having insurance and over 400 more losing health insurance daily, why doesn't any moderator ask about what difference it makes when the health care bill doesn't become effective until 2014?
The delay is so they can balance the budget. They need to have a balanced 10 year projection. The new taxes and cuts to Medicare will start in 2010. This means we have 10 years of taxes and cuts and only 6 years of benefits. What happens after that???

It is not about people "dying in the streets", that is just their excuse. It is about the takeover and control of 1/6th of the economy.
First, stop listening to the media. Second, nothing has been enacted into law yet. There are totally different House and Senate bills that still need to be reconciled into a final bill, which will have to be passed AGAIN by both houses of Congress. To answer your question, any major "reforms" need lead times to be phased in. It's not possible to just wave a magic wand and change things overnight.
So the politicians that voted it in, can get reelected, before the general populace figures out how BAD this deal is.

I live in Orlando and have a loveseat and a recliner that I want to donate. Does anyone know about a non-profit organization that accepts used furniture?
Salvation Army or Goodwill or St Vincent de Paul will usually take furniture in good condition.

Your tax deduction IF you itemize is the amount they sell similar items for, probably $30-50 each. Your tax savings is the deduction amount times your tax bracket, so if your deduction is $100 total and your tax bracket is 15%, you'd save $15 in taxes if you itemize, zero if you don't. But donating to organizations like that is a good thing whether you get a tax benefit or not.
Salvation Army.

Goodwill.

St. Vincent dePaul.

Your local church.

Just call one of them and ask.
Call Salvation Army or Goodwill, they will pick it up.
salvation army,goodwill or just any thrift store that does is NOT like value village

I want to know all the information you can give me before I sing up the contract with a landlord, what else do I need to ask or check. or where can I find a list of important questions?
An increase in rent doesn't have any relationship to whether or not the taxes increase, but rather to the fair market rents in your area.
Read your lease. Normally a lease for term (with a definite beginning and ending date) does not allow an increase in rent unless specifically stated that it is allowed.
If you are on a month to month tenancy, the rent can be increased with 30 days notice.

If the rents happen to go down in your area, sometimes you can negotiate a decrease in the rent.
Good luck with that!
Depending on what type of lease you have the answer can be yes or no. Say you signed a 1 or 2 yr. lease with the landlord back in October of this year. Since this lease is still in effect the landlord cannot increase your rent. The lease is a legally binding agreement and cannot be altered once it is signed into effect.

Now if you are on a month to month lease, the landlord has to give you at least 30 days notice that your rent will be increasing. As far as if you did not ever sign a lease, then you are out of luck and the landlord may increase their rent without the 30 days notice.
each state has different laws with landlord tenant problems or potential problems.

the lease is suppose to protect you as well as the landlord. while you have a valid lease for say
one year, the rent must stay the same as the amount you agreed to in the lease and that both
parties have signed. if you go for a month to month, well it's only good for 30 days, he can give you
a 30 day notice and increase the rent as often as every other month.

you need to find out where you can get landlord tenant rules in your state. usually the landlords have a landlord association but i am not sure about the tenants for each state. perhaps ask
at the better business bureau to start. even just google tenant law for (type in your state)

good luck, but remember you are giving your word in good faith when you sign the lease.
don't think you can just walk away from it in two months if it doesn't suit you. there would then be
legal consequences. also, the landlord can't make up the rules as he goes along, again you have laws to protect you. the problem is most tenants don't bother to find out what they are.

i am a fair landlord, but some out there. oh brother, they are bad. good luck
If you have a lease, rent can't be raised until the lease expires. On a month to month rental, the landlord can raise it any time for any reason with 30 days notice.

Even with a lease, it is normal for rent to increase every year to cover the landlords increased expenses.
If you sign a lease for a year, he can not raise your rent until the end of the term on the lease. If you rent with no lease your on a month to month and rent can be raised as often as the landlord chooses as long as you are given 30 days notice
Usually the landlord can't increase the rent within a year because you are signing a contract. You should read the specifics of the contract in order to check the terms of your loan.
They could only increase the rent during the term of the lease if taxes go up if the lease says they can. That would be unusual.
Read the contract, it should set out all the terms of the rental.

I have just been looking through my parents finances, they are being charged 79p "insurance" per £100 balance outstanding on their credit card every month. This is the first time they have had an outstanding balance on the card and they had no idea this charge would be imposed. I have never encountered a charge like this, are they being conned?
it sounds like repayment insurance, if they have never had an outstanding balance before, they will not have seen the charge before, Its something some people agree to when they take out the card.

they could write to the card provider and get it stopped if they think they do not need this service.
When you set up a credit card you are given the choice whether to have payment protection insurance or not. There is normally a box to tick for it.
If they do not want it they can contact the credit card issuer to have it removed.
Credit card insurance covers redundancy, sickness or accident and makes the minimum payment into the credit card for you while you're off work. Some people like to have this reassurance while others do not.
My personal opinion is that there are too many exclusions in these payment protection policies to make them worthwhile and as they only meet the minimum credit card payment each month while you are off work, they do not really make much financial sense. If you receive sick pay from work for 6 months these are even less worthwhile.
I get sick pay from work for three months and I pay £20 a month for an 'income protection' policy. This provides me with 70% of my income if I am still off work after the 3 months. That way I know that all my bills can be covered if I'm off work long term rather than just my credit card minimum payment.
Check with the credit card company but I had insurance on my Capital One card and last year when I was unemployed I activated the insurance or payment protection insurance PPI and I have had nothing but trouble with it because it has take almost 1 year to sort it out and now my account it £100 higher than it was last year and I haven't used the card, seemingly you still have to pay the monthly payments until they sort out the insurance, few years ago Capital One was fined £175,000 for selling false insurance?
i just recently received the same 'sales pitch' from BofA….they charge a monthly fee so if and when you are disabled or physically unable to work, your payment is made for you for up to 18 months…..i thought it was a rip off….I opted out…..
They aren't being conned.
They probably opted into this service when they first got the account. Just call the credit card and cancel it.
Sounds a bit odd. I would call the company and ask what the deal is.
