popper4 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 According to msnbc.com there will be no change in the basic tax you pay on earned income for the next two years: those rates will top out at 35 percent. The Obama administration had wanted to let the rate rise for wealthy taxpayers, but under the deal struck with Republicans, everyone gets to keep the current rate for two years. Obama had also pushed for a gradual increase in the tax on capital gains, but that will also remain at the current 15 percent rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duder Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hopefully this is good news for us in the very near future. I was thinking about our (those who invested in IDQ) position regarding the tax increase the other day while watching Glenn Beck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many unhappy leftist congressional types that would like to throw a monkey wrench in this agreement, so it ain't over until it's over (passed by congress and signed). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortarius Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Only two problems are a) its 13 month not 2 years (or even better indefinitely!), and since its only 13 month we will have to pass it year after year because who can tell people during the Christmas season that you are cut off?

Sortarius, My reading of it is "2" years, not 13 months. The tax breaks would be extended through 2012. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elv780 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 It's dependant on how long we own the foreign currency. One year or less is short term, over one year is long term capital gain at 15%. Is this correct? Tori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jte70 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 That's what I've read. 35 percent for short term, 15 for long term. Why in the world it makes any difference to Uncle Sam is beyond me. Well, with stocks I can understand. I guess someone's just gonna have to break down and talk to a tax attorney.

Yep, I was a typing faster than I could think! The 13 month is the unemployment stuff, 2 years on the taxes. Sorry. That's what I've read. 35 percent for short term, 15 for long term.

To me, this sounds like a stupid question, but since I dont know the answer I will ask anyway. How does the government know when you bought them?

MVPerry Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 My question is: If I give my uncashed dinars to family members- will I be liable for any taxes? AND does it make a difference before / after the RV? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry143 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Concerning..."how would they know..." about long term or short term. My NEW way of thinking is....WE would know. Let's do the right thing....I'd rather be a millionaire with a clear conscience...but then again, I have a huge "guilty conscience" anyway. You decide for you and me for me. God bless us all.

EBJNYC Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) I am not a Big Fan of GW Bush- the whole Saddam WMD lie, was a huge turnoff. But the Tax Break is great- Thank You GW! If you read Joel Rosenbergs EPICENTER -- it was stated that WMD were moved to Syria -- prior to 2003 invasion -- Sadaam got intel of the coming invasion -- so he re-located WMD to Syria -- hence -- NO WMD FIND IN IRAQ.

Peace Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 The question about "How would the IRS know how long you've had it"...I believe the Burden of proof would be with you....So if you kept receipts your in good condition, if you haven't then you may be taxed higher...I don't know this for sure just saying...

ExecConsult Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 What does it mean exactly? Are we to still pay 35% short term capital gains or 15% long term? OR...is it ordinary income???? It is ordinary income - Look at post #4 on the following link: Best of Blessings, Mark The question about "How would the IRS know how long you've had it"...I believe the Burden of proof would be with you....So if you kept receipts your in good condition, if you haven't then you may be taxed higher...I don't know this for sure just saying... Unfortunately, is ordinary income treatment generally so doesn't matter how long you have held it except "maybe" if you are trying to get a large deduction for gifting to a charity. Mark My question is: If I give my uncashed dinars to family members- will I be liable for any taxes? AND does it make a difference before / after the RV? Thanks! If you give uncashed dinar to family members pre-RV, they are worth very little and there are no tax consequences to you. However, if you give them post RV and the value exceeds $13,000 to any individual, you need to worry about gift tax consequences. Best of Blessings, Mark To me, this sounds like a stupid question, but since I dont know the answer I will ask anyway. How does the government know when you bought them? Most of mine would be short term, but if you bought them years ago, would you have to prove that? Doesn't matter how long you have held them. Look at link posted above for a thorough analysis. Will be ordinary income (35% federal plus state plus local) Best of Blessings, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metrious Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 My suggestion is with respect to any here who are tax experts, CPA or Tax Attorney. Get yourself a top notch accountant or tax attorney and do your due diligence and find out what you will be paying. Give back to your community as well, just make sure you keep the receipts and get a deduction as much as you can. Pay your taxes at the end of the quarter to avoid fines and also to collect some interest while it sits in your account. True not much good if we RV at the end of February and March is the end of the first quarter. I am planning on the Capital Gains short term hold percentage and will be mighty happy to see a lower amount of taxes if it is just income. Either way I only paid about $2500 for my dinar so I am more than happy to pay that $2500 to get my millions. ) My suggestion is with respect to any here who are tax experts, CPA or Tax Attorney.
