I owed a bit of money for last years taxes, which I do not have so am making monthly payments. I sent in the form to request to pay monthly, but have not heard anything back. Has anyone done this and is this unusual (that I have not heard back anything)? I was reading all these websites and they were saying just keep mailing in what you can each month until it's paid off and then you might owe penalties, which I understand. It stinks, but right now I have more bills ...

When you guys type how often do you take breaks? Do you find that if you take frequent breaks - say every hour or hour and a half for about 5 minutes that you are more productive? Or do you sit and type for more than 2 hours straight without stopping? Just wondering how often others take breaks. This was also one of the "tips" given by the top producers of the company according to MQ. They claimed these folks took frequent breaks but went hard at it for an hour or s ...

Has anyone every received an employee handbook? I found this quite interesting, especially the part about state compliance with paid breaks.

In my state, there are supposed to be 2 paid 15-minute breaks if one works 8 hours. I questioned my company HR about this and was told "there was a slight amount added to our line rate" to cover this. What?? how is that a break. I am wondering: 1. How many companies do this? 2.

I would like input on whether you do your taxes yourself or take them to a professional? I had a local accounting firm do mine for a few years and now they are just H&R Block and the rate I pay keeps going up. I have looked at a few do your taxes online yourself and H&R seems to be reasonable online (half of what the place charges). Who does their taxes themselves and what is your experience with it? Thanks for any help or advice you can give. ...

I am an IC and am being choked by self-employment taxes. It seems like I work to pay the taxes. Anyone have any tax advice? Does anyone else feel this way? ...

I have been an employee since the start of my career and never had to worry about taxes. For some time I have been entertaining the thought of taking an IC position on the side, but then I was told that as a self-employed person I would be carrying 35% tax liability. That scared me out of my wits. I am sure this does not apply literally, but I want to know how things would pan out for an IC who earns $45,000 in a calendar year. How would you break things up as expenses in ...

Last year I purchased a laptop for work. It's only used for work and nothing else. I'm reading all the forms and directions, but not understanding where I record it. I think it's too high cost for just office supplies, so started reading about form 4562 - Depreciation, but that it totally confusing. Has anyone ever listed a computer?

I just switched to an IC position on January 1, and I'm trying to figure out how much I'm going to need to pay April 15. I've always been an employee in the past. I plan to talk to my accountant, but I'm trying to figure out a ballpark amount to make sure I've held back enough.

Has anyone received their W-2 from M*Modal yet, by any chance? I started 2012 as an employee of DSG, woke up one day to find out I was an M*Modal employee, and took two days to decide to decline the M*Modal job.

M*Modal has my mailing address since they mailed me my final paycheck and letter confirming my termination of the job. At some point after DSG was sold to M*Modal, I tried to acce ...
