Reminder about Classified posts

This is a friendly reminder (again) that no matter when you send in a classified post it will NOT appear until the Friday chatlist. Please do NOT email me asking where your classified post is. It will not appear until the Friday Chatlist. If you send in your classified post on Friday AFTER the classified chatlist has already gone out, guess what? You classified post will NOT appear until the FOLLOWING Friday's Classified Chatlist.

If you get an automated receipt after you send in your post that means we HAVE received your post. Regular emails are posted within 24 to 48 hours. Of course, classified posts will NOT appear until the Friday chatlist.

The Friday Classifieds are very popular and it's not unusual to have over 30 to 40 items on the list. Do NOT email me about a missing post unless you have double checked the chatlist again.

The general rule of thumb is that you can post the same service or the same items twice in a row or twice in a month.
Please adhere to this rule. It also helps a lot if you use some descriptive text in your heading besides FOR SALE ie used TV for sale, yardwork services, Queen-Size Bed and lots of other household stuff

Last item! Please remember that the Classified Chatlist is a FREE and popular community service. Neighbors like dealing with neighbors and it's nice to buy stuff or services from folks you "know". Following certain guidelines makes it a better experience for us all.

Subject: Education credits

For Sherry,
    You are eligible to claim the Hope Credit for tuition and fees for your daughter if she is enrolled in her first year of college and you are not filing 'Married Filing Separately' and she is claimed as your dependent on your tax return. You should have received a Form 1098-T showing the education expenses that you can claim.
You must have paid these expenses in 2006 either out of your pocket or via a loan even if those payments applied to a future (or past) semester. Tuition is self- explanatory but 'fees' applies only to those that 'are required for the student's enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational intstitution'. In some instances, I have interpreted this to apply to the purchase of a laptop where it was 'required'
as a condition of enrollment but generally a computer would not be an eligible fee.
   The Hope Credit is 100% of your first $1100 of qualified expense paid and 50% of the next $1100 paid, for a total potential credit of $1650. Your daughter must also be at least a 'half-time' student for at least one academic period in 2006.
   The Lifetime Learning Credit is a somewhat broader credit for anyone who pays qualified education expenses at an eligible educational institution. This credit may be as much as $2000 (20% of qualified expenses up to $10,000) and applies to anyone who is past their first two years of college and/or is taking some course of study at a 'qualified educational institution'.
    It should be noted, however, that if you are one of those filthy rich couples whose 'adjusted gross income' is over $110,000, then you are not eligible for this credit.
    It should also be noted that you have the option to take the credit or an 'adjustment to income', depending on which will give you the most tax relief. Don't ask me to explain that without seeing your specific situation.
    Oh yeah, your daughter must not have been convicted of a felony for possessing or distributing a controlled substance in order to take the Hope Credit. If she has, then you have to take the Lifetime Learning Credit. (I didn't write the law!)
    Hope this helps.

Howard (the tax guy)
