I am a head of household single parent. I don’t get the $400 tax credit, or the car purchase sales tax deduction or the tax credit on my son’s college tuition.

Answer: yup pretty much. You should have been like my dad who lays around getting disability. Hey, thanks for paying for my college hahaha.

There are many incentives to tackle small business debt problems immediately. For starters, the economy is showing signs of recovery. Secondly, the stimulus package still in operation and lenders are far more lenient as compared to earlier situations. Read ahead to find out how you can get debt relief

Rather than declaring bankruptcy and causing permanent damage to your financial condition, you should opt for other debt relief measures. You should put up good stand with your lenders as far as debt relief and debt settlement is concerned. A bold approach will always fetch you great relief.

You should make use of:

- Your previous good record of making repayment on time
- Your past profitable years of your business
- The future scope for your business after the economy improves
- Your desire to do everything that is possible to avoid a bankruptcy

You can seek relief either personally or by making use of debt settlement and debt relief professionals. Do not think that the stimulus package is restricted to the big firms alone. It has been repeatedly emphasized that the recovery of small business sector is very important for the recovery of economy. The lenders are ready to waive as much as fifty to seventy percent of your credit card debt and offer another two years for repayment of the balance amount.

This will help you run your business better because you can opt for other credit cards and manage cash flow problems that matter until the economy revives. This option is a much better than using other options like consolidation etc.

This time, you should focus on actual reduction of debt while seeking relief. If necessary, borrow money to pay the fees and charges of professional negotiation companies. This will be a good investment as well as the reduction of debt will help you get better deals from your other lenders and trade creditors.

Keep in mind that your relief efforts should not focus just on reduction of debt but also creation of sufficient opportunity to revive your business as a quickly as possible. This will help you earn profits faster.

If you are over $10,000 in unsecured debt it would be wise to utilize a debt relief network instead of going directly to a debt settlement company. Using a debt relief network guarantees that the debt settlement company you choose has been certified and has established success in negotiating settlements. They are free to use and a good starting point to begin your debt relief process.

$8000 Tax Credit

Question: home buyer tax credit?

My husband and I purchased a home January 28th, 2009. I filed our taxes a few days ago and claimed the $7500 first time home buyer tax credit. Now I hear in the new stimulus package they changed the credit so that it is $8000, does not have to be repaid, and is retroactive to Jan. 1st 2009. Since I already filed our taxes, are we stuck repaying the $7500 or is there some way I can change it since the purchase of the home falls within the dates of the new credit?

Answer: The first time homebuyers credit is a loan and has to be paid back within 5 years. The new credit is $8000 and still has to be paid back. Do some research more on the official government site below.

No, no!! you have it wrong!! that part of the stimulus was dropped completely. Even if it wasn’t, you wouldn’t be able to claim it until next tax season anyways.
