This is a rent disbursement for what I’ve confirmed is a building of office suites in Arlington, Virginia. It’s a disbursement I’ve found in images of the 3rd Quarter of 2007 FEC disclosure forms for the Ron Paul campaign.
850 Randolph St. is the office address.
4001 N Fairfax Dr. is the office of Tara Thai, [...]

I've been renting out the lower section of my house. It has a separate entrance from the rest of the house and also its own sink. My renter has full kitchen privileges. I have been collecting 1/2 of my utility costs (TV/Internet, water, electricity), in a separate check, from the renter as well.

CNN, Reuters and the Malawi News are carrying reports that Malwian Minister of Women and Child Development Kate Kainja has barred Penstone Kilembe from flying to London to assess Madonna and Guy Ritchie's suitability to adopt David Banda. The Malawian paper suggests that Kilembe had accepted an airline ticket from Madonna: "We have already contacted Madonna that someone else and not Kilembe will come to assess her, because we feel Mr Kilembe personalized the whole issue when other people can go," the Minister told the newspaper.Kilembe dismissed suggestions that he personally asked Madonna for an air ticket.The ministerial intervention - which seemed designed to try to avoid claims that the adoption process was being floated by Madonna's cash - could have knock-on effects: Justin Dzonzi, a human rights lawyer who led a 65-member rights group challenge to Madonna's adoption, also said the minister's decision could halt the adoption process."The Minister cannot change what the court

I was listening to a book on tape I bought years ago about starting your first business. It was one of those “idea” books, heavy on the why’s and what to do, but empty on the how to do’s of actually starting your own business.
The focus of the book was to start a part time business and find ways to turn your normal personal expenses into business expenses. At first glance, this could seem to be a good thing. After-all, as a blogger, you have expenses; domain fees and hosting fees are fixed expenses. You know how much you must pay monthly or yearly for the cost of running your blog. Include into that t
A wedding is probably the biggest occasion in a person’s life and, generally one of the most expensive ones too. Hence, planning for it is always an overwhelming task. The list of things to do and buy seems eternal and so do the expenses – pre-wedding ceremonies and parties; invitations and gifts; wedding clothes and other essentials and accessories; church and reception arrangements and decorations (music, food, wine and cake) and honeymoon arrangements. As it is a once in a lifetime event, my friend – Danielle – wanted to celebrate her ‘big day’ in a grand style. But, at the same time cost-effectively. So, before her wedding shopping, she did some credit shopping. I had heard a lot about the growing reliability and convenience of the online loan bazaar. So, I suggested her to first check out the online credit market. We all know that research and cost comparison always help in getting the best possible deal. Loan products are no different. Instead of relying on a single
Cindy asks:
My two beloved cats have had a lot of medical bills this year......close to $6000. Sometimes I pay with a check to the vet and the check is written payable to "Dr. Lastname". Other times I pay with a credit card and it shows up "Medical Center". Can these fees be deducted as medical expenses.

We are in the 15% bracket and own a co-op for which we pay $1,400 a month maintenance or $16,000 a year, of which 45% is tax deductible. My wife does our taxes and she informed me that last year we could not use it because we did not have enough deductions to fill in the long form. Is there any way we could use it?
My reply:
Taxpayers who own their homes, and itemize their deductions
It appears that there’s a local tax preparer who is/was advising taxpayers that they should have cosmetic surgery in order to increase their medical expenses to reduce their taxes. Not only that, this tax preparer is/was also allowing taxpayers to deduct the cost of medical and dental insurance paid with pre-tax income. Neither of these [...]
