In the state of California how much can legally be garnished out of minimum wage 40 hour check?

In California, the maximum amount that can be garnished from an individual's wages is typically 25% of their disposable earnings or the amount by which their earnings exceed 40 times the state minimum wage, whichever is lower. This applies to most types of garnishments, including for things like child support or consumer debt. However, certain types of debts, like unpaid income taxes or court-ordered restitution, may have different rules.

What Is No Income Tax Law?

One thing some people may have heard of is "no income tax law." This phrase can actually refer to a few different kinds of law. First, it refers to the law of states that do not tax the income of their citizens. Secondly, it can also refer to federal laws that allow certain individuals to avoid paying federal income taxes. Most states in the US charge a state income tax. This is done to help fund services provided by state governments to their citizens. However, not every state actually has a state income tax. Several don't. These states include Florida, Alaska, South Dakota, Nevada, Texas, Wyoming and Washington. However, there are a few exceptions in these states. Sometimes corporations that reside in these states are still forced to pay state income taxes. This is the case in Florida. A few additional states only charge state income taxes on certain kinds of income. In Tennessee and New Hampshire, the state government only charges income taxes on income produced from either dividends or interest. However, states that have no state income tax make up the revenue it other ways. Sometimes this is done through higher sales taxes. If the cost of living is high enough in a state, a high sales tax can more than make up for not having a state income tax. In other states without a state income tax, this lost revenue may be made up for with high property taxes. This is why a person should be educated on all taxes before moving to a new state. In other cases, "no income tax law" may refer to laws that allow certain individuals to avoid paying federal income taxes. One of the largest groups of these people are those with no income or income so low that no income taxes are applied. However, there are also cases in which individuals with significant levels of income can also avoid paying income taxes. This is due to specific deductions, tax credits and "loop holes" that exist within the tax code that can be taken advantage of. One such example is the earned income tax credit. When this tax credit was introduced into the tax code, it resulted in an extra six percent of income tax filers not having to pay any income taxes at all. The percentage of people who file that don't have to pay income taxes also increased significantly when a child tax credit was introduced under the Bush administration.


Can an independent contractor's earnings be garnished in Colorado?

Yes. Self-employed persons are subject to garnishment under the same laws as those who are employed by a company/business. MI law follows federal guidelines, 30 x mininum wages of disposable income is exempt. (Ex. paid weekly 30 x 5.15=$154.50 is exempted). Amounts above that are subject to a maximum of 25% garnishment. In cases of self-employed persons the court will probably require proof of earnings, such as tax documents, bank accounts, etc.

Are dividends part of comprehensive income?

Dividends act as a debit to Retained Earnings. Net Income is closed out by Crediting a gain to Retained Earnings which is a permenant equity account. Therefore Dividends are not a reduction to Net Income but instead a reduction of Retained Earnings and further of Owners Equity. As you may note, this also means that since Dividends are not included in Net Income they are not Tax Deductable which for many years resulted in double taxation of dividend income. Once at the corporate level and again at the personal level. Ex: In the financial statements it is going to be looking like this: Income Statement: Revenue-Expenses=Net Income Statement of Retained Earnings: Begging Retained Earning+Net Income-Dividends= Ending Retained Earnings
