Build Recurring Income

In 2006 the top 2% paid 60% of all income taxes but earned only 30% of the income.

Shouldn't we lower their tax rate to make it more fair?

I am going to be receiving ongoing income from my grandfathers estate. I have been told that it is taxable because it is classified as income not an inheritance since it is income earned by the estate since his death. I an trying to get an idea of what tax rate I should expect to pay. I do not know yet exactly how much I will be receiving.

What exactly is the income difference between those who are college graduates and those who only have a high school diploma?

I'm talking about the whole entire work force in America. What is the difference in income between those in the work force who have college degrees than those with only a high school diploma?

I am a US Citizens living abroad. I am in the process of filing tax return for 2008 for foreign earned income based on IRS' publication 54. Our earned income has already been taxed once by the country we live in.
I see that there are two ways to avoid double taxation on your income -the foreign earned income exclusion and the foreign tax credit.
Can somebody please explain the difference between the two and point out advantages to use one over another?

I've already accumulated about $45,000 in short term capital gains this year. I need to liquidate another $40,000 in stocks or sell part of an inherited IRA which, as I understand, will be taxed as income. Is the tax hit going to be the same either way?

Last year I had taxable income of about $53,000 with next to no capital gains. This year I expect about the same taxable income plus the capital gains.

A and B are partners. at the beginning of the current year, A's capital account is $30000, and B's is $50000. A and B decided to allocate income with 10% interest on capital balances at the beginning of the period and divide the balance equally. Net income for the current year is $80000. Each partner withdrew $150000 for personal use during the year. What is the amount of income that will be allocated to each partner?

My wife filed a return of income with taxable income below taxation limits. Source of income tutions and rental. Tution income was received in cash. ITO says the onus is on her to prove that her income was not more than what was reported. How does one do this?

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?
