I refinanced 2 weeks before American Home Mortgage declared bankruptcy. They still owe me my escrow money (a new escrow account was created at closing with the new company). Is the escrow money legally mine and protected from the company’s bankruptcy, or can the company default on paying it back? Thanks!
The AHM mortgage was paid off and my new mortgage and new escrow are already in effect with my new company. The procedure was the AHM escrow was to be refunded to us and we already have a new escrow in place. While waiting for the AHM escrow to be refunded to us, AHM declared bankruptcy. Is the escrow money legally mine? Continuing to make payments is not the issue–we are already paying mortgage payments and already set up a new escrow with the new company.

I’m doing my taxes and I’m wondering if any of the money in the traditional IRA I converted to a Roth IRA in 2005 is treated as a non deductable conversion. ,400.00 was rolled over from a former employer 401k into a rollover IRA in 2002. Is this money treated as non deductable or do I have to pay tax for conversion purposes to the Roth IRA on this portion of the total amount I converted as well?

Is line 2 of the 8880 the amount of box 12b Code D? All the contributions from my 401(k). Line 2 states Elective deferrals to a 401(k) or other qualified employer plan,… When I use turbo tax online it says I can not take this tax credit but H&R Block allows me to take this credit. All you tax experts out there let me know if Understand this credit. It is an incentive to save using a 401(k) correct?
I guess I have to spell it out clearer…. Am I reading the 8880 correctly. All my 401(k) contributions I put on line 2 of my form 8880? I know the income rules. I am just asking if this is correct for Example If I put 00 in my 401(k) and I made just under ,000 single. The tax credit would be 00 x .1 = 0 Which in turn gives me back 0 more on my refund. Turbo Tax says I don’t qualify for this credit which I don’t understand why H&R Block allows me to take it. (Both online sites no people told me this)

Or, in other words, what value should be given from a credit risk to a net worth of a borrower that consists of unvested stocks and stock options related to the company he’s working for? Should that value be brought back to zero because if for instance the borrower would leave his company, those unvested stock and stock options would remain ownership ofthe company?

I got half of my exes retirement benefits in a divorce. I though once that was on paper in court, that was it. But, I found out afterwards it that part needs to be finished seperately. My lawyer said he would need to bring in others, because my ex has government benefits (U.S. Postal service) and he has not had much experience with those. They need to do something called ‘quadrille’, I believe. I have had a run of bad luck since my divorce, and need to do this as low cost as possible. What should I do?

I have an IRA in the 6 figures range. In 2010 anyone regardless of AGI will be allowed to convert IRA accounts to Roth IRA accounts. The advantage of this is that all future gains will be tax free.

The rules regarding what IRA investments can be in are rather loose so you are not restricted to just stocks, bonds and the usual stuff.

Under this conversion, I’ll need to pay tax on the value of my account that has not previously been taxed.

I am thinking that there might be a way (loophole) to have my IRA invested in something that has an artificially low value at the time of conversion (2010) but has a high value in 2011 or other time in the future. What ideas do you have of such a scenario?

I have a small retirement income but want to be near my daughter. She is not set on her living area yet so I cant use that as a dertermanent. I dont want to be in the heavy traffic of the city. I think NJ is too expensive (land taxes). I would like to be a short drive to the ocean. I do not want a mobile home. I like the idea of catching transportation to inner Philly. Any ideas?

I get statements from the Lincoln Financial group every so often and have decided to hole punch them and stick them in a notebook forever I guess. What should I keep and what should I throw away? I am not a pack rat but I have so much coming in and I am not sure what to keep and what to toss. I have bank statements from the year 2002 and check stubs from the day I started my job.
They tell me how much money my 403B has gained etc…
I am not sure whether its important to hold on to all this stuff.
