Re: Class B Motorhome
As curmudgeon mentions if you haven't already check out rv.net they have a wealth of knowledge, broken out by classes of RV.
One thread in particular might give you some insight. http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fusea ... 305517.cfm
For your question it looks like between 15% - 20% off MSRP, for a new unit.

Ray,sailor234 wrote:"Insurance premiums, including amounts paid under Social Security for Medicare, can be used as medical deductions."
This is a surprise to me and I worked in NJ for many years. To my recollection, TaxCut never suggested adding the Medicare tax as a state deduction. Perhaps I missed it.
Has anyone here taken this deduction successfully in the past?
Ray
FWIW. I've had a CPA look over my return for the last couple of years. I've deducted Medical Insurance Premiums from the State Return, there have been no problems. As for Medicare & SS, I can't comment on that.
However if it was me, I would print the page from the State website and keep it with my records just in case.
Hope this helps.

almost there, go straight to the horses mouth... http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/njit13.shtml Medical Expenses. Certain medical expenses in excess of 2% of your gross income may be deducted. In general, medical expenses allowed for Federal income tax purposes are also allowed for New Jersey purposes. Only medical expenses for yourself, your spouse/civil union partner or domestic partner, and your dependents qualify. These expenses must not be reimbursed by your insurance or similar provider. Some examples of allowable medical expenses are payments for doctor's visits, dental care, hospital care, eye examinations, eyeglasses, medicine, and x-rays or other diagnostic services directed by your physician or dentist.

You may want to try CDW (www.cdw.com), Global (www.globalcomputer.com)or a local independent Reseller. Also there are usually price point tiers, for the number of licenses you are purchasing.

Sorry if this has been already posted.. full story from yahaoo finance http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Vanguard-Outperforms-Index-tsmf-3979841721.html?x=0&.v=1 Here are the first couple of paragraphs. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Mutual-fund investors, fed up with big losses during the stock-market downturn, have been dumping their actively managed funds and shifting to index funds. The move to indexing is especially pronounced at Vanguard Group, which built its business model on index mutual funds. During the past 12 months, assets have poured into Vanguard index funds. Inflows have totaled $11.2 billion for Vanguard Total Stock Market Index and $2.1 billion for Vanguard Total International Stock Index, according to Morningstar. At the same t...

I guess buy my screenname & avatar you can guess what I played
Drums about 15 years ago, had a couple of bands I played in for fun, while in the service.
Played a couple of gigs with each. First band we mainly did Blues Brothers songs and ended with Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
Second band we did Oasis, Radiohead, REM, songs mixed in with a little Lou Reed & Otis Redding's Sittin' On The Dock of The Bay.
Had to sell the kit when moving overseas.
Still hoping to pick the sticks back up once I get financial things worked out. Want to go more with the Electronic Drum kit (Roland, Yamaha etc), so that I can play until all hours without disturbing anyone.

Total of All Accounts Together (not each account individually) equals 100%
IIf the 401(k) is much larger than the others, then something different would need to be done. Flesh out that information for the best answers.

Sorry I should have put them in from the get go.
I've added the % of the accounts, His Roth 9.82%, Her Roth 13.05% & his 401k 77.03%.
So looks like I still need to figure out what to do 401k wise.

- Replies: 41

From a Network World article.. Many still live with the myth that Mac OS X doesn't have any security issues while Windows does. That myth ignores the facts. For example, Apple just released 18 security patches (the smallest collection of patches this year) for Mac OS X on August 5th. Many try to argue that not all the fixes are for Mac OS X, but rather for other software that might be included with it. To compare apples-to-apples (pun intended) you have to stack up the software each vendor ships with their products, not selective parts of it. While it is true that Windows is still a much larger security target because of it's market share, it isn't true that the Mac doesn't have plenty of security issues of its own. http://www.networkworld....

You just made a common mistake, which is really a fault of a marketing ploy. Bell Labs has never been a company; it has always been a Research and Development (R&D) organization with a great name due to some earth-shattering discoveries and Noble Prize winners. For years Bell Labs was providing R&D for AT&T including its manufacturing parts that used to be Western Electric. AT&T was a regulated monopoly with a limit on the profit it could make from its services. As revenues were relatively high, the excess money (after allowable profit and operating expenses) were channeled into research. In the early 1980's AT&T went through a divestiture splitting into (1) an unregulated AT&T (long distance services and equipment ...
