Office flirtations???

this male co-worker and i have a cool relationship….we flirt, but he is married and i would never disrespect his wife by trying to hit on him and i really do think it is all in good fun. we do not communicate outside of the office and we see each other in the office only once a week ….no big deal. but the other day he did something that got me wondering. we were talking and he bent down to talk to me while i was sitting in my chair…..and he started unzipping my boot. i thought it was really weird. i told him to stop and he laughed it off. but i think it is inappropriate. am i being stupid or what? i am kind of getting the feeling he is testing me…..seeing how far i will go? i am an idiot when it comes to men and “signals” so that is why i am asking this question. my friends agreed that it is weird……i want to see what others say. -

Office flirtations are fine as long as both parties know that it is not going any further than that. Especially when one is married.
Friendly flirtations happen all the time and there is no harm in it. If you feel uncomfortable though, you have every right to tell him so and that you don’t date married men. If he persists take the issue to someone above you. It is serious then and inappropriate, regardless of past behaviors.

New company asking employee to incur direct cost?

I am involved in the prelimenary stages of opening a dealership selling kitchen furniture. We have a small group who is experienced in sales, office management, & service in the business. There is an investor who has expressed interest in opening a shop that he wants us to hire us for. They have proposed that we incur some of the direct costs by receiving a lesser base salary, paying 20% of our paycheck in to buying shares in the company and then sharing a certain percentage of the profit quarterly or annually. 20% being taken because we don’t have any money up front to buy shares. I am wondering is if this is normal or is this inappropriate? I get the feeling they they are trying to stick it to the little guy.IMO we should be fully compensated for our work as producers and if we were to buy shares that we would then fair and square share the profits as decided. I am really concerned about this. It seems they really just want us to sacrifice our pay for direct costs. Is this fair?

If the “investor” owns 51% or more, he calls the shots. That can also mean he closes the business and you all get nothing.

I’d pass on the deal.

Tax deductions are not the top priority for most individual real estate investors. They often work out of their home with no employees, other than those on-site at the property. Challenges (aside from tax deductions) include selecting what property to purchase, screening tenants, repairs, managing expenses, obtaining financing, and deciding when to sell. This article addresses tax deductions sometimes over-looked by real estate owners.

Tax deductions reduce taxable income but do not directly reduce taxes. For example, $10,000 in additional tax deductions will generate $3,500 in federal income tax savings ($10,000 X 35%), assuming a 35% federal income tax rate. Since most require a cash expenditure, increasing actual expenses to increase tax deductions is not desirable. Let’s review fine-tuning the depreciation schedule and reclassifying existing expenditures to increase deductions.

Real estate depreciation is a potent but underutilized source of tax deductions Real estate depreciation schedules are commonly established by just separating land from the improvements. This is analogous to asking a world-class pianist to play a piano which is not tuned and has several keys which are not functioning. The results are just not as good as they should be.

Congress has provided depreciation as a tax deduction to encourage real estate ownership and investment. Numerous court decisions have provided clear guidance for accurately and precisely depreciating real estate. Cost segregation can typically increase real estate depreciation by 50-100% in the first 5-7 years of ownership.

Owners can claim a tax deduction windfall for properties owned more than one year by “catching-up” previously under-reported depreciation. After obtaining a cost segregation report, you can “catch-up” depreciation without filing any amended tax returns.

Another meaningful source of tax deductions is to scrutinize any cash expenditures which are being capitalized. Have minor repairs been capitalized in error? Are there more significant repairs which do not clearly extend the life of a component? Discussing these items with your accountant can yield additional tax deductions Also review items which were capitalized in prior years; can you claim any of them as current year tax deductions?

Child labor can be good when they are your children and you claim a tax deduction. Consult your accountant or CPA but this can generate additional tax deductions of $5,000 per child, upon which they pay no taxes. (If they are feeling generous, they may return the money as a tax-free gift.)

A tax-deductible vacation is an attractive option to make an expenditure deductible. Simply plan a vacation around a business trip for a meeting or seminar. Your airfare and hotel for the business period are deductible. Hotel before or after the business activity and your spouse’s airfare (assuming that your spouse is not involved in business) are not deductible. Half of meals during period with business activity are deductible.

Reviewing personal expenditures can generate additional tax deductions Items used for business such as computer, printer, office supplies, seminars, association dues, and business publications can be deducted. Long distance business phone calls can also be deducted. Self-employed persons can deduct the entire cost of health insurance premiums.

Record keeping for tax deductions does take a modest effort. However, the federal income tax savings make it worth the effort.

Cost segregation produces tax deductions and reduces federal income taxes across the country and in every size market. Below are just a few examples of cities where cost segregation generates meaningful tax deductions.

City:

  • Las Vegas, NV
  • Boston, MA
  • Tampa, FL
  • Hartford, CT
  • San Francisco, CA
  • Memphis, TN
  • Miami, FL
  • Denver, CO

  • Buffalo, NY
  • Albuquerque, NM
  • San Antonio, TX
  • Charlotte, NC
  • Allentown, PA
  • Austin, TX
  • Baton Rouge, LA
  • Jacksonville, TN

Cost segregation produces tax deductions for virtually all property types, including the following:

Property Type:

  • Used car lot
  • Research and development
  • Nursing home
  • Lumber storage
  • Truck stop
  • Tennis club
  • Hospital
  • School

How to hang banner at trade show?

We are attending a trade show and need advice on how to hang a banner. The banner is vinyl, 3×6 and has 3 holes along the top. The space we have at the trade show is 10×10, with an 8 ft. draped backwall. Any advice would be great!

1. Shower Curtain Hooks
2. Mount to a board so that you can attach lights and then attach with shower hooks or electrical ties.
3. Pin it directly to the drape
Some other advice. Make sure that it looks clean and professional with the information easily read. Make it stand out by using color or interesting design. Don’t put up displays that cover it if it is the only thing with your name on it. Have business cards and handouts available to market your product or service.

Good Luck to You!
