This happens quite frequently after the purchase. It had to do with the timing and the valuation of the property. The property usually has increased in value since the last property tax assessment. This is why you received the supplemental tax bill. The good news is that it should not happen... View More

Am I able to write off in my taxes the amount i paid to settle a lawsuit in mediation against me?
answered on Oct 30, 2013
Yes, if that was for your business. Also, look at the causes of actions on the complaint. If there are 4 of them (for example) and the settlement is for 2 cause of actions then the IRS tries to limit your deduction, so make sure the settlement paperwork states the settlement is for the deductible...

I sell insurance products exclusively for one insurance provider. I earn income via commissions from my sales. I'm a 1099 filer. Can I be garnished by an earnings withholding order served against the company whom I sell insurance for?
answered on Oct 30, 2013
If you are talking about the IRS,yes, but the garnishment is not a continuing garnishment. It only garnishes the funds already due.

There is a law that prohibits the FTB from going after your personal bank account for an LLC franchise fee, unless a member has taken assets from the LLC for less than value.

Yes, they do. They don't let the person know they are investigating until it is too late. It is best to stay out of the IRS' radar for tax fraud. The best way is to file taxes and yes, report all income. I know it is a bit cliché but it is the... View More

I am disabled and he agreed to pay my rent. Has repudiated. Several witnesses.
answered on Oct 30, 2013
I think the question you are asking is how do I prove a breach of contract on an oral contract. That can be difficult but you can use witness statements, emails, text, letters all supporting the breach.
answered on Oct 30, 2013
You said fully executed. That would mean signed. Then you would not be able to rescind it without a valid reason for rescission. If it has not been signed by the other party then you can immediately send out a statement that you are rescinding the contract.

Since you were under a written contract, verbal statements are not binding. If you got their statements in writing that might have helped but not guaranteed your position.
answered on Oct 27, 2013
There is no specific contract it is terms placed in the contract...for instance someone agrees not to directly or indirectly contact, communicate with a certain list of people.
