My after tax income (including bonus and interest income) is approximately US$325K per month. I am a professional and my job is relatively steady (been with the same company for more than 5 years). What percentage of my after tax income should I be saving (either for retirement or a rainy day)? Obviously, it is better to save as much as possible. But I guess I want to know what percentage is a prudent guideline. Thanks
This is a retirement pension but I do not qualify for social security for another year. This income was taxed. Why is it treated differently than social security?

I lived in two different states during the 2009 tax year. On my federal tax, my 2 incomes are obviously combined. For the state forms, they ask you to enter information entered on the federal return. However, shouldn't I only report the income I earned in that particular state for which state withholding tax was withdrawn? If so, how to I make adjustments when it asks for my federal adjusted gross income?

How do I predict the income of a planned website based on income from ads when I dont know how many visitors there will be at any given month/week/day and also I dont know the how much i'll get paid for every click made? (planning to use google adsense or yahoo ads)
any ideas? how would I build a business plan for such a website?
Can you recommend me of any companies that help you calculate your predicted income?
I won a prize back in August 2006 worth almost as much as a car (about $9000). I still have it, but have never used it, and was just waiting for winter to end so I could decide if I want to keep it or sell it. I already paid sales tax on it.
But, for income tax purposes, I am assuming I have to report the entire value as 2006 income. That's fine, but what if I sell the item in 2007 for less than it's worth (say $7500)???
Can I then declare my sweepstakes income for 2006 as $7500, or do I have to report the whole thing? it's going to be hard enough to pay federal + state income tax on an extra $7500 let alone the full $9000.
Thanks
When filing for child support, I had an income to report in the case. I just began receiving child support checks, but I no longer have an income.
Do I need to report the fact that I no longer have an income? Will that have an affect on the case, or change the amount I receive?
Im 25, I am in shock when i see my friends (same age, same entry level income) go out and buy 250k-300k houses like its nothing. They dont have 20 bucks to fill up the gas tank but they can afford 250k house??? I dont want to be in their position where 90% of their income goes to mortgage, without having any savings on hand. what is a proper mortgage payment/income ratio?
