Yes, rental income should be reported on Schedule E and the net profit or loss is transferred to Form 1040 and can offset income. Be careful of passive loss limitation rules though.

What rate is charge off debt taxed at?
If what you mean is if your have income from cancellation of debt, how is that taxed?It is taxed as any other income...meaning you will pay at your "effective rate"...basically your income tax bracket.(The one charging off the debt, normally a company, will only get, at best, their tax reduced by the amount they already paid on the income they thought they had coming....and hence "accrued" to income (as a receivable)...and now find they won't be getting/receiving.)If what you mean is how much of a tax deduction does a company get by charging off a debt, that is more complex:First the financial accounting requirments and the tax accounting requirements are different to allow the entry. TAX does not allow as a write off (an expense) tot he company as easily as financial. There is aomething called an "all events" test that must be met. generally it is many years after the books record the loss that the IRS will accept it for tax reporting.TOviously, it is only acceptable as a charge against income to the degree it was reported, and tax paid on it, in some previous period. All that is happening - a previously recorded item of income is now determined to be worthless and never actually happpened. So the best case is the taxpayer gets the tax refunded that it overpaid some period before. And of course, it must have taxable income in this current period it is allowed to take it for it to even have any real effect. (Sort of doean't matter how much you lose, if your already losing money for taxes, you aren't getting to pay less than 0).
How much tax would you pay on 100000.00 in contest winnings in Colorado?
As answered at least a zillion times here and part of the databank: How much you pay ultimately depends on your own tax situation and tax rate. There is no specific rate or category for income from types of gambling. The withholding (like from a payroll, as an estimate of the tax) required at the casino is normally a minimum of 20%, but can depend again on your situation too. It is NOT the amount you pay...just a payment in advance to assure the amount you owe is paid. Lottery and Gambling winnings are taxed like any other income. That amount, or percent, of course changes with everyones personal situation, other income, expenses, deductions, exemptions, STATE (and state income tax is a deduction to Federal taxable income, so that changes many things), dependents, etc. It is fair to say that 2 people, winning the same lottery would normally pay different amount of taxes. Proveable losses are deductible against winning, so keep those losing lottery tickets! Many people have tried to claim the winnings as Capital in nature, for the lower tax rate. The courts have denied that in each case. If you are a professional gambler, the tax handling may change, as it is income from self employment...there are both good and bad aspects to this.
Why do budgets need frequent reviews and adjustment?
When a budget is compiled its based on information at the time of creation and the income/expenditure that a company will undertake normally for the nest trading year. These are assumptions. If during the trading period unforeseen expenditure is forced on accompany, if income drops to unexpected levels (i.e. a customer becomes bankrupt owing money) the there will need to be changes made to the budget to account for this. By reviewing the budget against the business one a monthly or at least bimonthly period changes to forecast can be made in a timely manner and buffer the company. The intention is to minimise the impact of the budget becoming uncontrollable and losing the company profits. The other reason for review is to identify areas where spend is required to take place i.e. purchasing new machinery, investing in a new product. Where budgets are not used companies will recover that amount back into the profit margin and in the following year reduce the allocation to that department.

How do you file tax returns for a deceased person?
First, you only file for years in which they were alive. For example, if the person died in January 2009, you would make sure that returns were filed for 2008 and 2009. But no return would be filed for 2010 and after. If there is income after the person dies, that income would be reported on an estate tax return or on the tax return of the person to whom the property was distributed. If the person was married, the surviving spouse can still file a joint return (unless the spouse remarried in the same tax year). The spouse may also choose to file separately. Basically, you file a regular tax return as if the person were still alive. For the year in which they died, you include income and deductions only up to the date of death. At the top of the first page put "JOHN SMITH DECEASED 1/1/2009." Attach Form 1310 to the return to tell the IRS who to send a refund check to. Sign the return with your name and add words that describe your postion, for example "as personal representative" or "as surviving spouse." http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1310.pdf Also, file Form 56 with the IRS as soon as possible. Form 56 informs the IRS about who they should send correspondence to concerning the affairs of the deceased. Remember, if the IRS sends a notice to the deceased's last known address and you don't get it, it is still considered delivered and you may lose rights to appeal an unfavorable ruling. This could result in losing part of your inheritance to unnecessary taxes. If you file Form 56, notices will be sent to you instead of to the deceased. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f56.pdf You will have to check with your state for their procedures. They are usually spelled out in the instruction book that comes with the state tax forms.
