I have a small business and am having trouble understanding how schedule c works.

Part one of the Sch C is for you income you received for your business.\nPart two is for expenses for the business\nPart three is for cost of good sold. If you use a Inventory you need to do this section.\nPart four is vehicle use\nPart five is other expense that you couldn't use on part two. After you do this part you total it up and put it on Part two line 27.

Ask them for name and address. Since you will be paying them as part of your business, then they are your employees and they need to fill out a W-4 Form.  \n\nIf you are paying customers for services rendered then they are Independent contractors, and you will need to send them Form 1099 at the end of the year.

Companies often have the power to limit the extent of commission.  It depends on interpretation of company policy and your state's worker's rights law.

"They" reset dates because the calender is overbooked or because one party or the other is not prepared or is not present....Depending on what the case is, it may wind up dismissed if it gets delayed too long, but I'd raise cain with my lawyer for his failure to show up for a scheduled hearing.\nGood luck!

I personally do NOT know... but I work with GoSmallBiz and Pre-Paid Legal Services and offer a plan that not only can answer all those technical questions but also help you deal with any legal issues like compliance and debt collection and provide tax assistance, marketing and IT/technology help. Plus we provide you with free advertising and a 4 page website. This really depends on which state you are in too, because we offer different plans in different states and No plans in a few states.\n\nTake a look at this site, if you like you can view a video, and if you want to get the plan that fits you, you can (the most common plan is about $2.50/day). And if you really want to get down to it you can call me with the number from the site. I'd appreciate a call anyway if you choose a plan.\n\nBy the way, my name is C.J. Green

They had to fill with the IRS just like you did and a copy of your W-2 was mailed out by them.  There would have to be a copy  available there, but even if they are no longer in business, they would have to still have their records secured. Check with the IRS\nor any accountant....if you have the extra few bucks they will charge you.

Could be a number of reasons -\nYou state that it is a small company, this could mean that they need someone in your new position, but maybe they are waiting until after they close Q2 so the cost of an additional headcount doesn't hit their financials.  Even if they are not a public company they want their P&L (financial record of profits and losses) to look as good as possible to secure financing or investors. \nIt can also be the extra cost savings in getting your work area set up and then having to pack it up and move. Professional moves are quite costly.\n\nYou should talk to the hiring manager and tell him/her your concern and that you would like the offer in writing or else you will have to keep your options open.  If they are serious they can give you a written offer.  If they don't want to, you should seriously consider keeping your resumes going out and/or posted on job sites.  You can also keep your resume posted and if something better does come along you can make the decision at that time.

No!  Simply having a business name does NOT mean your tax structure will be any different.  Sounds like you are a sole-proprietorship?  You file a Schedule C?  If so, you will keep filing Schedule C.  Getting a fictitious name or a EIN changes nothing tax-wise.

You can hire a Collection Agency or go to small claims court.  Before I would do either I would first go to the District Attorney as paying for services and placing a stop payment for those services could carry criminal charges of fraud or possibly depending how the law is written even writing a bad check.  Good Luck as a small business I realize that each sale is extremely important and may in fact be the tool that finances the next job.

That's called income. And Uncle Sam always wants your income, so it is taxed. That is just the reality of life.\n\nWhen you are self employed and a sole proprietorship, you fill out Schedule C. In Schedule C, you will list your income and you will list your expenses. You will then deduct your allowed deductions such as advertising, web hosting, domain name renewal and other expenses.

You should file schdule C for your Ebay business. You first account your sales from ebay, then you account your business expenses: cost to acquire the items for sale, ebay fees, paypal fees, shipping fees, advertisement, auto expenses, home office deduction, telephone expenses, supplies etc. The difference of sales and expense is the net income which is subject both income tax and selfemployed tax. Schedule C is complicated, please seek a qualified tax professional.\n\nZhicheng Lai\nEnrolled Agent

All the information you need is in the link below.  If you need any further help contact me.  I'm starting to get good at it.\n\nNote that the FTC won't be of much help to you personally.  They have "administrative" control over credit agencies, and can put massive fines on them, but only in class action situations.  For individuals you can sue them yourself in small claims court (depending on the state live in).\n\nBut before you can even start a lawsuit, you must follow a certain procedure. It's all links below, but for now, here's a very quick outline.\n\n-Get copies of your credit report at \nwww.annualcreditreport.com\n\n-Send a protest letter to the Credit Reporting Agency (CRA) that has the report listed.  They will "verify" the debt with the creditor, and must respond back within 30 days of the result.  Note that "verify" only means that the creditor just has to inform the CRA it is a valid debt, and no proof or documentation is required.  This is what most likely will happen.  At this point you can send the CRA a letter protesting the entry, and they must put your statement on the record.\n\n-Now send a "validation demand" letter to the creditor.  That means the creditor must supply copies of all bills, contracts, receipts, and anything that was used to calculate what they say you owe.  The must demonstrate you have a legal obligation to pay.  They have 30 days to respond.\n\nIf they do send this information, examine it carefully.  If it's correct, decide if you still want to go to court.  This is the information they will use to defend themselves, so if you have a case  you can now take it to court.\n\n-If you do not get this information within 30 days, send a copy of the validation letter, plus another demand to remove the credit entry to the CRA, informing them that the creditor has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act.  If the CRA still will not remove the entry, you now have grounds to sue the CRA as well.\n\nBe sure to send all letters by certified mail, keep very accurate logs of when they are mailed and who you talked to.  It is NOT necessary to send them by certified mail, return receipt.  Your receipt will prove you mailed it, and the tracking number on it can be traced to show it was delivered.  That will save you a few dollars in postage.\n\nContact me if you need more help.  I am not a lawyer or credit counsoler, just someone who has been through this many times before (and still doing it!).  \n\nYou are about to go to war!  Knowledge of the law is your only weapon!  Don't fight these guys unarmed!  Read the links below.

I would discuss this with your company management and see what they say.  If they're providing the home office, they probably have guidelines for deciding issues like this.

i really think they should have a rent control for something like your situation.  most company's can do a write off.. i have rental accomadations and if someone swallows their pride and approaches me.. i can write them a deal.  i just wrote a deal last year and it gave me a nice perk from the governement. taxes.but i can not read minds.. maybe your present building owner or assoc..will cut you a deal.. we have not mastered mind reading...you have to ask..

Check with the Secretary of State. Usually, LLC's have to register their businesses.  Several states have this information online.

There many ways of doing this. When a business go out of business many times their stock is sold at Auction to liquidate debt. This a good way to buy items that are New. They may Auction in Lot Size, so you may have to bid on 5-10 MP3 players at a time (MP3 is an example), say they sell for $100, you may get them for $20 but have to bid on 10-50 at one time to do this.\nBuy from the company, you need to be a Business. A sole proprietorship is easy and you Social Security number is your tax I.D. in most cases. To buy Wholesale you need your business license which you get from your State Revenue Office, if I remember correct. It just a paper you hang on the wall with your company name (Go to a small business and ask to see theirs and they show you) You send a copy of this to the Wholesalers you buy from so they have it on record. They sell to you wholesale and tax free.\nThere other means of obtaining products, this just a few. There really too much to be able to cover here.
