The substantial rehabilitation requirement provides that a taxpayer must incur rehabilitation expenditures which exceed the greater of (1) the adjusted basis of the property before the rehabilitation ($250,000), or (2) $5,000. Therefore, if Diane chooses to incur only $200,000 on the rehabilitation, this amount would not be enough to qualify as a "substantial rehabilitation" and no credit would be available. The depreciable basis of the property would be the sum of its original cost plus the capital improvements, or $450,000 ($250,000 + $200,000).…
We have been requested to review and present to you our recommendations for the start of your new Pharmaceutical/Biotech Consulting Company. To begin, we would like to review the information that we have been given from you to KMCE&A. We understand that you have a background as a business executive as well as a scientific background. Your business plan states you are starting up a consulting company that will handle R&D monitoring for other companies that are in the Pharmaceutical/Biotech Industry. Your client base is mostly in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania area but hope to eventually expand to a global customer base. Your main investments will be in salaries in that as a services industry you will have minimal asset investments. Your personal preference is to have no personal liability. You would like to keep the ownership small and retain the majority ownership of 50% to 60% so that you can keep control of the decision making. However you are open to issuing stock if the funding of your business would benefit from this over financing through debt. You also expect to have a loss of approximately $25,000 in the first year due to start up costs and become profitable by year two. You initially will have three employees joining you at the start of the business. Two employees, Scott & Kate, will be contributing services of an IT specialist and a marketing/public relations as well as a program manager. The third member, Todd, who is an attorney, will not only contribute legal services but also an initial investment of $50,000. We also understand that you have $200,000 of personal funds to invest as well as have obtained an additional $500,000 in financing through securing your own personal assets.…

The Value Added Tax and Targeted Budget Cuts as a Means to Reduce the Federal Deficit…
In 1969, Congress had noticed that 155 people with high incomes were legally using so many deductions and other tax breaks that they were virtually paying nothing in federal income taxes. This angered many tax paying citizens and embarrassed the government. In an effort to fix the system Congress came up with the alternative minimum tax. At the time the tax only affected the high income class but not so today. The alternative minimum tax was never adjusted for inflation and now affects more and more middle income taxpayers. Now a day the AMT affects people with an income over $75,000 and some large deductions. Most vulnerable are taxpayers with several children, interest deductions due to second mortgage, capital gains, and incentive stock options.…

The American Federation of Labor was an association of trade unions starting 1886, rising out of an earlier Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions founded in 1881. The AFL's president, Samuel Gompers, was convinced that unions open to workers of all types of skills within a given industry,called industrial unions,were too undisciplined to withstand the tactics that both government and management had used to break American unions in the past. The answer, was craft unions, each limited to the skilled workers in a single trade. According to Gompers's "pure and simple unionism," labor should not waste its energies fighting capitalism; I ts sole task was to hammer out the best arrangement it could under the existing system, using strikes, boycotts, and negotiations to win better work conditions, higher wages, and union recognition.…
