Legal Issues Surrounding Your Money…
In tough economic times, our personal finance judgment may get cloudy. Yet, it is as important as ever to make sound decisions that improve your situation and not risk making things worse. That is why we have dedicated October’s newsletter to helping you better understand the legalities of personal finance.
We all have to pay income taxes, but the process differs depending on a variety of employment factors. Are you a full-time employee, an independent contractor, or do you have your own business? Are you married or single? How many exemptions can you claim? There are also many misconceptions about what types of income can be taxed. Or more specifically, what type of income does not have to be reported. If you have basic questions with any of these issues, please submit a free question to Law Guru Answers and one of our attorneys will assist you. The most important thing to remember is that when it comes to filing taxes, honesty is always the best policy. For amusing examples of people who weren’t honest, read “Everyday Cases Show Tax Cheats Get Caught”
When trying to resolve ones debt, it’s easy to fall victim to debt solution scams. Some debt solution companies advertise great deals that are usually accompanied by not so great fine print, which leaves their victims deeper in debt. Since it is vital to debt recovery to avoid any further setbacks, we have included the article “5 Common Debt Solutions Scams” to help you avoid these pitfalls.
Our last article in this month’s newsletter is for those who are looking to start or have recently started a small business. It gives an overview on how to develop a business plan that will serve as the foundation upon which to build your company. This is the first article in a series of articles we will include in our monthly newsletter on how to grow a small business. When you are ready to begin the planning process, you can download all the forms and templates you need at our partner site www.FindLegalForms.com.
