Dear Family,

We’ve been hard at work on the Positive Idea site for you. Of course, since that domain name is taken, we’ve been looking around for appropriate names for the site and hit on the perfect one. WeFoundaSolution.com

It’s still very much in process. We’ll be ready to go live in about two weeks. But, you don’t have to wait until then. If you or someone you know are struggling right now – drop in and see if you can find any ideas to help you. Or tell us your ideas that people can implement right now, without government help or red tape – to help themselves, their neighbers and their friends.

Last week, we mentioned the new California homebuyers credit in the latest budget. It’s quite nifty! (Just about) Anyone buying a home in California will qualify. The $10,000 credit will be paid to you over three years. If you were following me on Twitter, you’d have gotten the link to the FAQs page for this credit. http://twitter.com/TaxMama

Today though, you can find the link in this week’s MarketWatch article. TaxMama®’s MarketWatch.com article this week is about the Pros and Cons of the federal first-time homebuyers credit. Actually, there just wasn’t room to get everything into that article. So stand by and I will be adding a lot more on TaxQuips.com .

In the meantime, you will find more FAQs at
http://hometownamerica.com . They’re develop manufactured home communities around the country. You may find some good deals there.

In IRS News today, you’ll learn more about the new sales tax deduction for new car purchases. And for those who’ve been laid off, here’s the information you’ve been waiting for on the COBRA Health Insurance Continuation Premium Subsidy. It may be confusing, but take the time to read it thoroughly. When you’re paying expensive insurance premiums, being able to get 35% of the cost subsidized is a major benefit.

In TaxQuips this week, we learn more about ITINs, offshore income and foreign trusts, emotional distress settlements and offsetting your capital losses by selling assets at a profit.

In our Job Advice on the Week, you’ll learn how to dress down at work to disguise your interview attire – to keep your boss and co-workers from realizing you’re doing interviews that day.
