We’re not married. We’re both named on the mortgage and we pay the mortgage out of a joint checking account, to which we both contribute and use for other various purposes. Can we split the mortgage interest deduction between us however we wish as long as we total up on our two returns to the total amount we jointly paid to the bank? Or must we use some kind of formula? How will the bank report this interest paid to the IRS?

This summer (and the next summer) I want to attend OREA (Ontario Real Estate Association) to get my real estate license. Is this all I have to do to become a real estate agent? Do I need other experience, and what else can I do to guarantee that I get a job in the field?

If I write a computer program to retrieve all the houses each broker lists, and how long each has been listed, would it make sense to use those numbers to give each broker a rating for how fast they sell houses? And would it make sense for people who want to sell their houses to use that rating to decide which broker they want to use?

The post office were remarkably unhelpful and just gave me a booklet on applying for a current investments account.

The booklet does say i need to send it off to get the interest calculated. But then it does say all information was correct at time of printing in 1987 so i wouldn’t really trust that any more.

Why do I have to pay real estate tax? I’m inheriting my grandmothers house. Is there any reason why I can’t pay regular tax? What are the laws about this in Manatee county, FL? Sources?
