Clear you Bad Credit Today

Welcome to another stimulus edition. Now that The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 extended the home buyer tax credit through April 30, 2010, offering specifically a tax credit of up to $8,000 for qualified first-time home buyers purchasing a principal residence, and a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified repeat home buyers, it is time to look at the details. This home buyer tax credit extension applies on a binding real estate contract signed between January 1, 2009 and April 30, 2010. But you must close by June 30, 2010 to qualify with very few exceptions. This credit sometimes is mistakenly called home owner tax credit.

The $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers or newbies, no offense intended is the main topic. There is little difference among the key points between the tax credits for first time buyers and repeat homeowners.

With all the stimulus packages that have been passed left and right, everyone has gotten confused with the definition of Adjusted Gross Income or AGI. In order to qualify for many stimulus perks, your AGI, not the salary or after-tax take-home income, must be below certain limits. To complicate matters a bit further, our government has based your qualification for The Worker, Home Ownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, and this is the one which gives the home buyer tax credit, on something called Modified Adjusted Gross Income or MAGI. The ever confusing world of income taxes tries to make you miserable and guide you to the eager hands of accountants and financial planners. But things are not that bad.

A recent article in USA today caught my eye. “Latest
Bank Fee Is For Paying Off Your Credit Card On Time Every Month”.

Apparently some banks are now starting to charge annual fees for inactivity, meaning that if you have a card but you don’t use it you are penalized.

The new fees are being deemed “experimental” for now but they are in response to the upcoming legislation, the Credit CARD Act of 2009, that takes effect in February 2010 that will no longer allow the credit card companies to “arbitrarily” raise your interest rates among other things.

Hey, gotta keep those profits up, right?

There are lots of credit card companies offering 0% interest. Zero percent cards are very lucrative nowadays and people think it as a very good deal. It is, indeed. But you should take time to think things over and know everything about the offer before signing up the contract.

Never forget to weigh things before making a decision because if you will choose in a hurry, you might get yourself in a whole lot of trouble in the end. Ask around or do research from the internet to find the right card.

It is very important that you know the rules very well when filing for bankruptcy not only for your protection but also for the protection of your co-signer.

First, let us define what a co-signer is. A co-signer is the person who legally guarantees another person’s credibility to obtain a loan. A co-signer is required if the primary loan applicant has bad credit history. As a co-signer, you accept to be responsible for the repayment of the loan should the first signer fails to pay debts on time.

Now, is will a co-signer still be required to pay for your debts if you filed for bankruptcy? Let us discuss what the law says about this.

2010 is almost here and Roth IRA conversion fever which I could never comprehend, is heating up. For those who do not know, Roth IRA was established by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and named for its chief sponsor, the late Delaware senator William Roth. A Roth IRA is an Individual Retirement Account, contributions to which are not tax-deductible but withdrawals can be tax-free under certain conditions. The key benefits and disadvantages when compared to Traditional IRA, will be hopefully listed in separate post. Here we are only dealing with Roth IRA conversion in 2010, income limit, eligibility and few key points.

Rules, income limit and eligibility
