I believe only if you itemize and it is considered a miscellaneous expense which is combined total excess of 2 % of your agi.

That was my concern. Does the person still have to pay/ report gift tax even though the car was return? Also isn't gifting the car to someone and writing it off as a gift and than receiving back, wouldn't it cause of legal issues?

The car was paid for by the CEO of the organization from their personal accounts, with no string attached. No Stipend in the check. Essentially it was a gift, because it was voluntary from the organization. When I said it was used for business, I meant as transportation from and to work at the same location.

Here is the situation: Say a person receives a car from his/her previous employer and titled the car to the person while the funds were provided by the employer. Upon termination of the employment if the person returns the car by essentially sell the car back to the employer for $0, are their any legal issues/ tax issues associated with this transaction? Additional info: No contract/ legal binding of the car being returned upon termination of the employment. Person used the car for business/ personal uses and fees associated with ownership of the car were paid by the person. Obvious solution to the situation is to not return the car, but I am wanting to know if any body have any insight on the matter if the car were to return to the employer.

This is who I use. http://watchandclockservice.com/ The person who works there (owner) is pretty knowledgeable about watches.

Do you happen to know the ball park range of pay for this is? or referral ?

Like I originally said and what you have admitted to, by missing school, you are saving whopping $22 ($660 for parking in garage / 3 quarters) a quarter on parking. How long have you been going there to not know by now that there are 1 big ass lecture classes that combines all the recitation class? Dropping class is not a huge deal, but curving is. That does portray negative image towards OSU, because they are saying students are getting better grades when they are not.

Ok maybe the ~700 was over exaggerated, but do you know that class was held at Schoenbaum Hall 100 were it fits well over 250 student? Do you know at the time that I took it, that big ass lecture hall was pact full? It still does not change the fact that roughly 50% of students dropped the course when I was taking the class. That is the structure of many classes at OSU. One prof, tons of grad students teaching recitation, and hundreds of students.

Even at 9 weeks of school, your $180 does not even add up. Unless like I stated she didn't go to school and/ or withholding information to make the argument favorable in your position of cost of parking. So yes by not going to school, you can spend less than 660 on parking. Still has no point to my op where you made the remark about the cost of parking.

Honestly, the major specific courses were not bad at all, but the core business classes were complete bs. One memorable class was the BMGT 330 with ~700+ students. By the end of the quarter I would say ~50% have dropped the class and the prof. was curving like crazy (better education? more like skewing the data)

Its 12 weeks including final so yes it would be 11 weeks. Why would I not go to classes that I signed up for if I valued my education? You still cannot face the fact that, with all the information provided by you, your wife cannot have spent less than $180. I understand that you can park off Neil and waste time looking for parking spots and waste more time by walking from the opposite side of the campus. I never brought up the subject of cost of parking, I brought up the time it takes to go to class. It does seem that we do have different values, as I value time much more than money. As time is a constant that I will never repossess except through my memories and money is something that can be had anytime in the future. BTW I did go to Fisher for my junior year of college.

Either your wife was not going to school as she said she was, not telling you how much she spent or your ability to calculate and account for parking costs are still wrong. So which is it? Do the math how can someone that spent 100% parking in the garage spend roughly $180 a quarter, when she went to school 4 days a week for 3 hours a day at $2/hr for at least 11 weeks? Are you leaving information out or are you really that illogical.

At $2 an hour, 3 hours a day (at minimum for 15 credit hours) 4 times a week comes out to $96 a month. yea that adds up to $180 per quarter. Biggest university does not equate to the best university. It shows by your ability to calculate and account for parking.

Are you talking about garages with visitor parking that charges $2 an hour, where someone may have classes for 3+ hour a day for 5 days a week. Show me concrete numbers where it is cheaper to pay at parking garages/ street meters for 5 days a week at 3 hours a day for 9 months, than $660. I was merely pointing out facts about parking/traffic/ travel time to get to classes. I'll tell you one thing that OSU does better than Franklin, paying the president. #1 in the nation, President Gee is the highest paid president out of the all the public colleges. Congrats. http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/02/0216_college_pres/2.htm http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/04/highest-earning-public-co_n_844217.html#s260381&title=E_Gordon_Gee

http://tp.osu.edu/students/parking/permitprices.shtml 660 + tax for garage parking with limited availability. You cannot get A key card unless you are like a faculty/ staff with a price tag of 720+ tax.

You mean 600+ for parking? :dumb:

Not by much. By the time OSU forces the "Healthplan" (complete ripoff because the benefit does not outweigh the cost), and other fees, you are right near 4k. At Franklin it is 4500 per trimester. You might want to also consider the traffic/ the time it takes to go class. If you have less than 90+ credit hours, you have to park at the West campus and it may take you something like 15+ minutes to get to your class after you arrive at OSU. It may not sound like much but the time really does add up.

The only way for you to be admitted into osu's fisher school of business will be to have accumulated gpa of 3.00+ from all colleges attended. Other wise you will need to declare a different major until you achieve the 3.00+ gpa. I was actually in the same shoes as you couple of years ago. Have you attended any classes at OSU before? I have, and for the year or so I went there, I really hated their classroom structure. One professor teaching a class of 500+ with all the hard stuff being covered by some grad students trying to get their doctors or what not. Curving for the idiots who do horrible in class. No matter how you dice it, college degree is just a college degree (as long it was accredited), unless you are going to some ivy college. After couple years of work experience it really should not matter where you went to college. BTW I now go to Franklin, and I like it better than OSU. Franklin is much more punctual when it comes to working with your needs/ paperwork.

Vermillion Ohio is another great weekend getaway place. They have wine vineyards/ farms nearby that sale their goods, clean and not so crowded beach, and a pretty small community that makes you feel like you are living "back in the days".

I'm still in as long as the time frame / set up is similar.

This And This. Except that gas companies will produce record profits once again. I'm so sick and tired of people complaining about gas prices, when people drive SUV with just a driver or even 1 passenger. If someone wants to be a over consumer of gasoline let them, but don't complain to everyone else about it. Its kind of like obese people complaining they are going to die of starvation because food prices are so high. If you don't like gas prices do something about it.

I guess they are smart enough to not use USPS and used FedEx instead.

Put me on the list as well for $20 buyin.

I'm down

I always thought online poker sites would be a great way to launder money through back then. On another note, i think 2+2 is down because of this news.
