When conducting a business out of your home, and you are renting the home or apartment, can you use the full amount of rent as a deduction? For example you provide care services for someone who lives outside of you home.

An annuity matured in 2009. I had it for 7 years and started with $174,554. My total payout was $205,832, meaning I earned $31,278. Should the $31,278 be treated as a long term investment and taxed as capital gains, or as ordinary income? Please advise. Thank you.

We bought 9.97 acres in 2005 and built a 30x40 storage shed. In 2009 we built another BIGGER shed on the same property. In 2010 we sold the smaller shed along with 2.25 acres. How do I figure out if I had a capital gain or loss. Is there a worksheet that would help? I don't know how to figure this out.

Great post! It saws strong argument to refer to the open innovation movement in government. This explanation would require far fewer friends outside this arena and is generally well accepted

We have a income of about 36,000. We cashed in our IRA because we desperatley needed the extra money we had about 36,000. in there. We left 20% for the government. We carry no dependents for the year and then pick up my wife and I and two minor children. Will we be in a higher tax bracket for the year of 2012?
