Deb, Thanks for your question. If your son has a Form 8332, signed by his ex wife releasing the claim to the exemption, he can take the exemption. You may need to override or adjust the computer
Lyndon, Thanks for your question. The amount of deduction you can take for passive real estate rental losses depends on your adjusted gross income. If under $100,000, you can take up to $25,000
They are changing your payroll system. They are changing the payday to bi-weekly. They don't just pay once a month anymore. They need a cutoff for the pay date. It sounds like they may be outsourceing
It is legal and it is the usual process when changing pay periods, most everyone holds back two weeks up0n hiring an individual this two weeks give payroll time to process payroll after time is collected
Adrianne: As I am sure you have already found out, hiring one of those debt relief companies that supposedly try to work out a lesser settlement is not a good idea for the reasons you stated.
