Question: Do you know just SOME of the educational plans Obama has?

Obama will make college affordable for all Americans by creating a new American Opportunity Tax Credit. This universal and fully refundable credit will ensure that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students. Obama will also ensure that the tax credit is available to families at the time of enrollment by using prior year’s tax data to deliver the credit when tuition is due.

Obama will promote new and innovative ways to increase teacher pay that are developed with teachers, not imposed on them. Districts will be able to design programs that reward accomplished educators who serve as a mentor to new teachers with a salary increase. Districts can reward teachers who work in underserved places like rural areas and inner cities.

Answer: it’s awesome!

and it’s a win-win situation. students will have to perform community service in order to get the $4,000 credit.

and it’s long overdue that teachers get the pay increases that they deserve.

obama is a visionary.

Question: Injured Spouse Allocation, can tax credits for children be allocated to a spouse with no income?

My wife and I file jointly and our refund is being taken for offset. I owe money towards a federal student loan but would have a nice tax return because of the earned income credit and the child tax credit. Can the child tax credit be allocated to my wife on form 8379? I understand the income credit being tied to my income, but is the child tax credit tied to me as well?

Answer: all of the credits are tied to the income…and all of the income is yours so there is no reason/need to file for injured spouse/innocent spouse relief because she has no income to apply the relief to

Question: If credit unions don’t pay taxes because they are their members owned. Than why do they treat you like a bank?

Banks have to pay taxes. Credit Unions do not. The reason for this is because they claim to be Membership owned. Being a member for 9 years and having at one time 160,000 dollars in their vaults. Now the money is gone, but still making substantual monthly deposits. I become in need for 10,000 dollars and they make you feel like I want a million. The bottom line is I feel like being a member has made no differance. So why should Banks have to pay taxes and credit unions do not. Because they are liars. They are not their for the Members. Just like a Bank.. Mountain America Credit Union. I closed my membership! Maybe you should vote yes to making credit unions pay taxes. What the heck are they doing with your money people?

Answer: I think as with anything, there are both good and bad. To be honest the reason I prefer my credit union is because I can get in and out in just a few minutes. Whenever I am forced to go into a mainstream bank (i.e. BoA) I find myself waiting in line for hours.

First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit And Responsible Journalism

The Obama administration’s “Making Home Affordable” Program has been in the headlines since its announcement in early March. Attending to both refinancing and loan modifications, the program gives struggling homeowners additional options as they decide on the best options to lower their mortgage obligations, catch up on payments, and stay out of foreclosure. The program has also raised a lot of questions, so here are some of the more frequent ones being asked around the internet.

Q) Which lenders are offering the program?

A) The program was implemented first at FNMA and FHLMC and is expected to roll out to lenders across the country over the next several months. Lenders participation is voluntary unless they accepted FSA/TARP (bank bailout) funds. Those lenders will be required to offer refi’s and loan modifications under the program’s guidelines.

Q) Is there a limit on the size of the mortgage that can either be refinanced or modified?

A) A mortgage must be $797,000 or less to be eligible.

Q) Will a loan modification or refinance hurt my credit score?

A) Credit scores under the program won’t be affected as the homeowner’s mortgage is essentially being re-written. However, circumstances related to either refinancing or modifying could have an effect. For instance, missed payments leading to a modification would definitely hurt a credit score. On the upside, lower mortgage payments could give a homeowner the opportunity to pay down other debts, resulting in a better credit score over time. 

Q) Is it possible that my mortgage payments could actually go up?

A) It’s possible. Homeowners still in the “teaser rate” phase of their mortgage are one group that could see an increase. The program’s base rate of 2% and caps on the ratio of mortgage payments to income should mitigate the increase. Another group of homeowners that would be very likely to see a payment increase is the one with negative amortization loans. Re-working those mortgages into amortizing loans could raise payments significantly. Despite the potential of increased payment obligations under either option, it could still make sense to refi or modify if the change results in a “lesser of two evils” scenario where payments go up but as much as if the homeowner does nothing. Payments can be gauged at the government’s web site at http://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov

Q) Does the program expire?

A) Yes. The Making Home Affordable program expires on June 10, 2010, which gives homeowners, especially those mentioned in the situations in the previous question, some time to sit on their lower payment schedule before adjusting upward. 

Q) Can I do a refinance or loan modification on my own?

A) A qualified yes. Either can be done as a “do it yourself” but there are many issues to consider. One issue is simply the time involved in getting the project completed. Lender’s hours of operation are typically very similar to those of people working a regular 9 to 5 schedule. If a homeowner can’t put time in to the project during work hours it will require time over lunch and after work, if that’s possible at all. A do it yourselfer should allow for plenty of time to learn about each process, phone/hold time with the lender, and for paperwork. The second issue is that a refinance or loan modification is still a negotiation. Hiring an attorney to wring out the best terms possible could make the fees involved a very worthwhile investment.
