  • 1099 - Is the information on my 1099 correct?

    I delivered newspapers for a few months as an independent contractor. The checks I received totaled about $10,000 however box 7 "Nonemployee Compensation" on the 1099 says $1454.86. Should this number be the actual dollar amount of all of my combined checks?

  • What are the proper steps in choosing a real estate agent? I have been prequalified, and have narrowed...?

    the 1000 houses for sale in the county, down to about 7 or 8. I called a realator, referred to me by a family member and told her exactly what we were looking for 3bdr 2 bath, basement, attached garage and so on. I explained to her that I have already done a ton of reserarch on the available houses in the area. She inturn sends me a list of over 100 houses, between 1-5 bdrs...1-3 baths...no garage..no basement...of course the houses are all offered by the company she works for. Isn't the real estate agent job to listen to what i'm looking for and help me find just that?...not try to steer me into something that I do NOT want, so that she makes a higher commission. The icing on the cake was last night when I emailed her to confirm we were looking at these houses this morning, and when and where to meet her. SHe returns email stating we need a plan "B" since she didn't get my email about what houses I wanted to tour. I have not signed anything from this agent or even met her face to face. Can I call around and tour with someone else, or am I locked in with her. She said she was calling the bank I was pre-approved through to let them know she was the agent solely working with me. From my view...this is the only part of her job she has done...."Claiming my Pre-Approval Letter" as her sale. I would like to call someone else, I'm not feeling like my interests are priority to her. Is this appropriate? Again, I did not promise her or sign anything. I just told her I was pre-approved and that I wanted to tour some houses. I appreciate your feedback.

  • Windows Vista Dock Help Please?

    I recently got a new laptop and I transfered all of my pictures from my old computer onto it. I created an icon on the dock just for pictures (not realizing that there was one already inside the camera icon). Anyway, they stored in there just fine, and were there for a few days. I turned on the laptop today to print a few pictures, and the icon does nothing. I tried right clicking and "open" and still nothing. I have tried searching for the pictures, but all I can find is the default picture file which only contains the sample pics that came on the laptop. Please help! How do I get my pictures back, and why would one of the items in the dock just stop working? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

  • I want to buy a laptop for both work and personal use. ?

    I run multiple housing properties and have three offices. I have a great desktop at one property, but am going crazy trying to get all computer work done from the one office. For work I will mainly be using microsoft outlook for company email. I have a lot forms (microsoft word) but I have them all stored on a flash drive so it is not essential for me to load them all directly onto the hard drive.

    For personal use I intend to use for web browsing, some games, and instant messaging.

    What is a good laptop that is a reasonable price but will suit my needs. I have been to best buy, circuit city and office depot...and each store gives me completely different answers on which would best suit my needs. Do you have any advice what would be a good purchase for me? Does Microsoft Office software come on any machines, or does it have to be purchased separately and installed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't trust the kids at the stores just trying to make a sale. I am hoping to get some feedback from some people that may use a laptop for similar needs, and has had great performance from their machine. Thanks!

  • How do I fix an older refrigerator (NOT self-defrosting) ?

  • I just moved into a new apartment and the bathroom has some badly discolored grout between the 1" tiles?

    The floor is ceramic 1" tiles, which I imagine date back to when the property was built about 40 years ago. The grout is mostly orange (maybe from rust) and some black spots around the tub. I have tried leaving a comet paste on the floor..scrubbing...and cleaning off. Next I tried spraying white vinegar with a spray bottle and scrubbing. Nothing seems to be making any difference. What can I use ?? Or is it maybe that the grout is stained and i will not be able to make it look clean?

  • i just received a copy of my credit file from all three agencies...how do I dispute inaccurate information.?

    When disputing information in a credit file, do I send dispute letter to the Credit Reproting Agency, or to the actual creditor that claims I owe them, or owed them money? I disputed an item 36 days ago, by sending a letter to the creditor (sears) and received no response either way. What should be my next action, and in the future should I just start by disputing with the CRA??

    Thanks in Advance!!

  • Looking for Xbox 360 for a birthday present...?

    Which console would be best to buy in the long run? I am looking for a birthday present. He wants the XBox 360 and Rock Band. I am looking for the system that allows old xbox games to be played as well. It looks like some of the consoles only come with one controller, and he would definitely need at least two controllers. What would be the total cost? I don't know much about video games, and I don't want to run out and by the "best deal" which may not be what he is looking for. Help Please! :)

  • What do you do with an engagement ring....when the engagement was called off.?

    I have had this ring for over 7 years after a broken engagement. I tried to return it to my ex, but he didn't want it. My current boyfriend of 4 years is ready to propose, but I think he wonders why I still keep this ring. Can it be traded at a jewelry store?? I dont know what to do with it. There are no feelings left with this old engagement ring, but I am afraid that while I keep it, my boyfriend might think there is. Have I waited long enough to sell it?

  • I filed bankruptcy about 1 year ago and I am trying to read my credit reports to make sure everything is right

    Each report has different information about the same accts. Some accts say closed, some say deferred, some say they are still open. Do I call each company on the report and see what the acct standing is? If so, do I need to do something to have it updated on all 3 credit reports?
