Question: What is the Amount of Income Required To File a Tax Return? Hi, (1) Can somebody please tell me what amount of income requires you to file a federal & state & social security taxes for each of the year since 1990 ? ( I mean filing Requirement for an unmarried single Person ) I need to know for each of those years.I am single unmarried individual. (2) If my income is below the filing requirement amount, am I still suppose to file for a state tax return ? If yes where can I get the tax rate table & forms for all those years ? (3) If income is below the filing requirement amount, am I suppose to file for social security tax ? If yes, where can I get the tax rate tables & forms for all those years ? (4) Where can I find the tax rate schedules for each of those years for all 3 Federal, state & Social security taxes ? (5) If the filing requirement amount was say $10,000.00, is that amount after the standard deduction of $3600.00 for an individual or how does it work ? I would really appreciate all the help. Thank You.

Answer: (1) If you are a single, unmarried person with no self-employment income, and not a dependent, the filing requirements by year are: 1990 5300 1991 5550 1992 5900 1993 6050 1994 6250 1995 6400 1996 6550 1997 6800 1998 6950 1999 7050 2000 7200 2001 7450 2002 7700 2003 7800 2004 7950 2005 8200 2006 8450 2007 8750 If you had net self-employment income of $400 or more, you are required to file for any of the above years. (2) If you are required to file a federal return, you are usually required to file a state return. If you are not required to file a federal return, you are usually not required to file a state return. But there are exceptions. Contact your state Department of Revenue or equivalent for forms for back years. (3) No, unless you had net self-employment income of $400 or more. If you did have self-employment income of $400 or more, your Social Security and Medicare taxes are paid when you file your federal income tax return. It's the same form. (4) For the federal tax rate schedules, go to irs.gov and search for "Pub 17" for the year in question. The tax rate schedules are in that publication. You will have to contact your state DOR for the state tax rate schedules. The SS and Medicare rates haven't changed, it is 7.65% but is taken care of if you were paid wages. (5) The filing requirement in the case you describe is the sum of the standard deduction plus your personal exemption. So, it includes the standard deduction. The above is only an outline, you probably want to meet with a tax preparer and go over all your questions so you will know the best way to proceed.

Question: What is the maximum amount you could recieve from a homeowners policy in a total loss? 1.) The amount of insurance you purchase to cover your home.

The amount of insurance you purchase to cover your home minus a 20% deductible. 4.) The amount of insurance you purchase to cover your home plus a percentage of that amount for personal contents, unattached structures, liability, etc. Can someone please answer this. Thanks

Question: What amount of equity do we have to give up for raising money for a startup? We're a startup with a really good concept/idea that can sell and we are various offers, we are entertaining various offers, some asking for large chunks of equity but guaranteed immediate moderate amounts of cash, the others are willing to give larger for smaller stake sold but take longer? What is the optimal amount to give up for the capital you need?

Answer: VC's will typical ask for at least 50-80% of a company. They are trying to gain as much control as they can. If you're sole goal is to preserve ownership %, then the best route is to try and raise cash via friends and family at first. Once that is exhausted try for angel capital but really limit the amount of money to what you absolutely need to purchase. After both of those have been exhausted approach the VC's for more significant investments, but hopefully you'll be farther along in the product development and the risk is lower to the VC because you have more tangible product, and therefore you have more leverage than you would have sans product. There is no formula that can be applied here, it's really more about managing risk and having leverage when negotiating. Not to mention the strength of the idea and the timing and motivation for VC's to adopt the risk. If this is a hot idea in and up and coming area and you have a solid team behind you then it's easy, but if you're entering a market that is already well defined and is not attractive to the VC then it's harder.

Question: How do you calculate the amount of energy needed to run a certain distance? Is there a formula or some information I can use to calculate the amount of energy a person needed to run a certain distance? Not the amount of calories they burned but just the amount of energy the used or the amount of energy they would need?

Answer: It's about 100 calories per mile. Heavier people expend more calories. The speed you run or walk at doesn't make much difference.

Question: What amount of company stock should be purchased as part of a well diversified investment? I have a 401(k) that is tailored to fit the amount of time I have before retirement. I would like to buy some company stock to go along with it but am not sure what amount or percentage is appropriate.

Answer: I personally would not buy any stock of the company I work for. I already have enough eggs in that basket and don't need to up my risk in one place.

Question: What amount of money can I expect to spend in Paris in one week? I'm planning to go to Paris and I am making out the amount of money I need to save up. I will be staying with an older cousin, but I am not sure if I will be paying for meals or if she will be paying for them. Just incase, what amount can I be expected to pay for food, and what could I expect to pay for everything else?

Answer: Well you will probably be having breakfast at home. I would suggest offering to pay when you go grocery shopping together some day. Lunch in the city can be 7 to 10 euros from a street vendor or 12-15 euros for a 3-course meal in a lot of small restaurants outside the main tourist attractions. You can also buy from the grocery store and make sandwiches in the morning for your lunch. Dinner is around 15-25 euros for a 3-course meal. remember that service is aready included in the price and that tipping is not necessary (just leave small change). Admissions to sites are 5 to 10 euros on average. A lot of things are free. You may want to buy some souvenirs and sit at an overpriced café to do some people watching too and treat your cousin to a nice restaurant some day. Transportation will cost you 15 to 30 euros a week depending on how much you will be using the métro or if you go outside Paris or not. So you can spend as little as 45 euros a day and of course as much as you can afford to... Have a great trip!

Question: What amount of waste can be expected when installing laminate wood flooring? I am installing laminate wood flooring in my 9x12 room and i was wondering if there was a way of telling exactly how many square feet i would need.I know that the square footage of the room is 108 square feet but dont i need to allow a certain amount for waste?I am trying to avoid having an axcessive amount left over.

Answer: 5 -10%. However, you may have to buy to full cartons, which may be less waste and/or more excess. Example, if cartons are packed 30 sq ft, you have to buy 4 cartons = 120 sq ft. or other quantity.

Question: What amount of time is captured in a photograph? Its a big thought. So, when you take a photograph, exactly how much time is captured in that photo? And can less than that amount of time be captured? And what amount of time makes a motion picture? What I mean is, if I'm looking at photograph, how much time is captured in it? I'm finding this hard to explain.

Answer: You are not capturing time you are recording light. Time does not exist for light.

Question: What set amount can you get to fund a Preschool from the government or government body? Hey, I'm doing a business assignment where you have to create a fictional small business and I have chosen a preschool. You have to write how you gained the finances, and I was planning you use government or government based funding/grants. I cant find a fixed amount, so if anyone has an idea of a rough amount, it would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping it could be from ' Department Of Community Services' . Thanks!

Answer: Be realistic. Show your source of funds to be a bank loan and income from fees paid.

Question: What is the smallest amount that you have ever heard of a debtor accepting to totally settle a debt? When you go to settle a debt with a company by explaining your situation to them, they offer to accept an amount much lower than what the full amount is that you owe them, they are happy to get a very small some just to get something in most cases, but what percentage of the actual debt do they usually draw the line at vs. what is actually owed, and what is the smallest amount you have ever seen or heard of being accepted to settle a debt?

Answer: It depends on the Bank. Some banks offer terms as low as 20% but most are about 40-50%. What bank are you dealing with? What kind of debt? Often you won't be able to get the same rate that an attorney will get. I suggest you get a free consultation online at http://www.netdebt.com

Question: What are a reasonable amount of chores and allowance? What are some good chores that a 12 year old girl should do daily. And what is a good amount of allowance she should get weekly. And is it better to give her a small amount daily or a bigger amount weekly. I need your thoughts and opinions please.

Answer: I think you should pay her weekly since most adults get their paychecks weekly or every other week. It helps her to learn to save her money a bit since she won't get anymore for another week (assuming you don't give her money every time she asks for it). I think it would be reasonable to have her keep her room clean, take out the garbage, learn to wash her own clothes (including folding and putting them away), mowing the lawn, raking leaves, clean up after the dog/cat, walk the dog, feed the pets, vacuuming the floors, dusting, empty the dishwasher, etc... are all good chores. I wouldn't make her do all of them, just pick the ones that are most suitable for you and your daughter. How much you pay her should depend on how much you have extra that you can pay her and how much she does. Talk to her and discuss which chores are fair and how much she should get paid. If she does something more strenuous (like mowing and raking) then she could earn more money. Where as keeping her room clean should be a given and shouldn't bring in too much money. I hope that makes sense. Good luck!

Question: How do you measure the amount of protein on a contact lens with a UV spectrometer and buiret as indicator? My group and I are working on a science experiment. We are trying to identify the amount of protein build up on contact lens before and after cleaning them with contact solutions. We are trying to see if the different brand contact solutions get the same or different amount of the protein off the contact lense. Therefore, we need to find a good way to measure the amount of protein before and after cleaning the lens with the different solutions. Can anyone help?

Answer: Well, according to Wikipedia: "Biuret test is used for detecting the presence of peptide bonds. The biuret test relies on the reaction between copper(II) ions and peptide bonds in an alkaline solution. A violet color indicates the presence of proteins. Proteins give a strong biuret reaction because they contain a large number of peptide bonds. It is possible to use the biuret reaction to determine the concentration of proteins because (for most proteins) peptide bonds occur with approximately the same frequency per gram of material. The biuret test works by the peptides forming a matrix by arranging around a Cu2+ ion. This matrix thus has a pink to violet color depending on the amount of protein." So I'd take some peptid or protein standard to prepare a UV arbsoption vs increasing concentrations of protein curve. Then measure the absorption that yields each of your lenses before and after the cleaning, use a blank (non used) lens to compensate any measure and then plot your results against the curve you built previously. A very similar experiment has been described in this article: Optometry and Vision Science:Volume 77(10)October 2000pp 503-510

Question: Will my loanable amount change if I transfer to another company during the course of my pagibig application? the initial assessment for my loanable amount is Php750,000.

Question: What is the amount of electrical energy need to propel an electric car? What is the amount of electrical energy needed to move one pound of weight, X number of feet, in a typical all-electrical car? For example - you have an electric car that weighs 1,000 pounds. How much electricity will you need to pull from your batteries to propel the car to various speeds? I am guessing that this output will also determine the amount of stored energy (in batteries) that will be needed to propel the car X number of miles. Is there a formula to determine the electrical output needed? Thanks

Answer: a horsepower is 750 watts. assuming the car makers don't put larger than needed engines in regular cars, those engines are 150 or so hp. so you need a 112 kW electric motor. Power needed depends on, as you mentioned, weight, but also wind resistance and more importantly uphill/downhill and stopping and starting......

Question: How would each of these affect the amount and type of garbage produced ? A community planning on charging a fee trash pickup might structure the fee in any of several ways. It might, fir example,change 1.a fixed amount per can, 2.an amount per pound of garbage, or 3.a flat fee per month, without regard to amount of garbage. How would each of these affect the amount and type of garbage produced? Which system would lead to an increase in the use of trash compators? Which would lead to the most garbage?

Answer: Q1: 1 and two will tend to reduce the amount of garbage produced. Three would give no incentive to reduce garbage. Q2: One would lead to an increase in trash compactors. Q3: 3. Flat fee.
