Balancing an Online Computer Job with a Real Job?
In a tough economy, many people are turning to online computer jobs for extra income. They usually take these jobs in addition to real jobs. To balance out the time between a real job and online computer job, one should try to devote two hours after each work day to an online computer job. In addition, one should make a schedule that devotes time on the weekend to an online computer job. Creating a schedule will force a person to stay committed to both jobs. By effectively balancing out both jobs, one ensures he or she will not become overwhelmed with one job or burned out from the other. Balancing both jobs will also ensure a person brings in a steady income to provide for basic living expenses.
If you win a lawsuit and have to reimburse the insurance company for medical expenses can you deduct those medical expenses?
You should be able to claim the medical expenses against your income tax, but there are limitations. You may have to claim them for the year that they were incurred. Which may mean you have to re-file taxes for that year. And Medical deductions are subject to a percentage offset. Consult your attorney, who should tell you when you get your award, or consult a tax expert. I gather what happened is you had medical expenses that were originally paid by (say your) insurance company. And instead of subrogation, you continued the lawsuit and won. The money you won had to be returned to the insurance company that already paid you for it (recovered). It is all going to offset - you can't deduct the medical expense unless you claim the income from the insurance company paying you for the lawsuit. But, the easiest handling would be just like any other covered medical expense...your insurance deductible and such costs are income tax expenses if they are above the minimums (unlikely).
