money

The Kansas Bankers Association and Kansas realtors are fighting Johnson County, KS to eliminate the county fees to register property bought using a mortgage. County officials want to keep the fee because it makes the county an estimated $47 million a year in revenue. The Kansas mortgage registration fee is currently set at $0.26 for every $100 borrowed. If you have an opinion on this matter, feel free to let Johnson County Commission Chairman Ed Eilert know.

Wait! Are you an employee?

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Camron Hoorfar

employee

The IRS and the Obama administration are making an effort to crack down on worker misclassification. Most employers would prefer to classify their workers as independent contractors in order to save on payroll taxes, benefits, insurance, and employment laws. However, there are things to consider when classifying a worker as an independent contractor. If you misclassify a worker, the IRS can treat the worker as an employee and then go after the employer for back taxes. When hiring staff, be sure to consult with a tax attorney.

Put my house in Bankruptcy?

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Camron Hoorfar

house 5

Missouri allows a bankruptcy debtor to save $15,000 in equity in their home. Equity is the value of your home that exceeds any mortgages. If you file bankruptcy and have more than $15,000 in equity, the bankruptcy court may take your home from you and sell it. The proceeds from the sale would go to pay your creditors and the court would write you a check for $15,000. If you are thinking of filing bankruptcy and are worried about your home, you need to consult a bankruptcy attorney.
