What are your thoughts on this guys? http://news.yahoo.co...-204800831.html

Resume, Cover Letter, Salary History and Salary Requirements is all very hard. I need help too

Totally agree with you. Couldn't say it any better

In that case you case file for en extension

Wow all my paperwork has only my first name middle initial and last name (dad's last name) That includes but not limited to school records, medical records, W-2's, tax returns and itin. Only on my birth certificate and matricula I have both last names. When i filed out my DACA app I only put my first name middle name and last name (dad's last name) and that is how it is on my EAD, SSN and DL. Actually my EAD has me full name (first name middle name and last name) and my SSN and DL only have first name middle initial and last name but I am not complaining lol

My opion is that you should do your taxes nomally with your itin. Reason is tht you can amend your return later on. You can file for an extension but if I am not incorrect you have to pay a fee and intrest if you owe money

Sweety don't try that with me I am not child lol. Finance is my thing (FYI I am an accountant major) you want to talk about reading a book to "point out specifics" please do not insult my intelligence with that comment. Perhaps you are happy with your used car but I perfer my nice new car that I deserve after all of my hard work and I am not that foolish, know my limits. I have a clear knowledge of what I can and can not afford. I have owned cheap used cars just like the one you are starting with and I ended up spending more money into them with all the repairs. After all the money i have put into them I could have paid for a new car. One can start off small but as life goes on and your life progresses you need to move on to bigger and better things. Let me ask you a question what does your book say about buying a house? Does it tell you to get rent an apartment for the rest of your life? Or are you going to save money for for 50 years and still not be close enough to buy a house? Perhaps you might not see but in order to better yourself you need to have good credit. Yea if you go crazy maxing your credit cards knowing that you can't pay them off of course you will end up in debt and will need to read that book because your have ruined your ability to progess in life and better oneself. But hey everyone has the right to their own oppinion lol So more power to you and me for having different ways of thinking

I understand you point of view and agree with you but we still need to build credit for when we are ready to buy a new car or a home. For the small things yea we can use our debit cards but we are not building credit. Unless you have millions in the bank there is no way you can pay out right a new car or home. So in that case we will need to appy for a loan. When someone applies for a mortgage for a home the bank checks our credit score, if we have no credit or bad credit either we get denied or we will end up paying high intrest rates. If we have good credit we end up paying less intrest. Also if we finance a car if we have no credit or bad credit same applies and if we have good credit we get great deals like 0% APR for X amount of years. So in reality we do need to build our credit but we need to do it wisely.

thank you Actually you are right what really matters is the annual income most of the time quick question? Did you apply for Discover it or Discover it Student?

Here is the web page with self-employment tax info http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed Here is the form to file your taxes http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sse.pdf Any questions on the topic let me know and I will help you to the best of my knowledge.

It's not illegal to do that because between the time you fill out your W-4 and the end of the year your situation might change (ex. you get married, have a child, etc). The only thing that is illegal is if you file your taxes with false information inorder to get back a bigger refund. I do single 0 because I did single 1 one year and 1 ended up paying back $100 to the state and my federal tax check was small lol Single 0 deducts more taxes but at the end I get a nice refund . Even if you're not a dependant you still get a refund. Actually when you're a dependant you get less back when you file your taxes because your standard deduction is less and you are limited to any personal deductions. It's better when you are not a dependant.

If you file single 0 on your W-4 your employer deducts more taxes out of your paycheck. Single 0 is the filing status where more taxes are withdrawn. But when you do your taxes the beginning of the next year you can file single 1 and you get more money back. That's what I do and I get a nice tax check back.

Hey Itzel, Very nice post and great app . Are you planing on filing your taxes yourself or are you going to an accountant?

Good point on the cost of owning a car but there is nothing wrong about wanting to buy nice car. Right now I have a '03 Chevy Blazer runs like a champ and never had a problem since I've got it. I have worked for so many years and now that I can finally drive legally and insure my car myself I will get myself a nice car. My next car is going to be either a '06 - '10 Audi A4 or A6. I like the new body style on them . They will cost me anywhere between $14,000 to $22,000. One of my friends uncle owns an Audi dealership and he said whenever I am ready he will hook me up with a good Audi with low mileage .
