I have a child support question regarding tax deduction?

May 7th, 2010

I would like to know why the government do not allow tax deduction or tax credit for those paying child support, But on the other hand gives a child tax credit to the custiodal parent? I think child support was just a way to correct a government policy that went wrong. You promises theses single mothers theses government programs and now that the government can not afford it, lets deduct the standard of living for some else. That is probably the reason we are continuing to have the pro-life versus the pro-choice debate, because some appointed officals decided on a social policy that was taken out of the democratic processes. Also, why is child support gender base? Why do a judge makes the assumption that it is in the best interest of the child to be with the mother, where was this research perform to give this basis? Also, where in the constitution that gives the government the right to throw you in jail if you can not pay a debt, that is not a tax? Just my opinion.

Tax deduction on Educational loan to a friend?

May 6th, 2010

But I have some questions about that. Will I be eligible for tax deduction on the money I lend him? Is the interest that he pays to me taxable? If so, what kind of document do I need to show my interest income from my friend? Are there any other complications that I should be aware of? Any do’s or don’ts?
