Where to travel from San Diego for 4 days?

Q. Hi there! My family and i are planning a four day road trip for my birthday! We are going to rent a motor home. I want to be able to travel a few states in those 4 days. Any ideas?

A. The Four Corners is a region of the United States consisting of southwest Colorado, northwest New Mexico, northeast Arizona and southeast Utah. The name comes from the Four Corners Monument, located where the four states touch � the only location in the United States that is on the boundaries of four states.

Come back via Nevada for six states in one trip

Is there tax exemption for Alabama resident who is in military and stationed somewhere else?
Q. My home of record is Alabama but currently stationed in Utah. I�m on active military and I don�t live on base. I feel like I pay a lot of Alabama state tax and don�t get much return especially when I haven�t resided in Alabama for 7 yrs. I also help out the economy in Utah by paying property taxes on my rent and all of my purchases. Is there any tax /exemption loophole for Alabama military members?

A. While you cannot change your HOR you can actually change your State of Residence. Does Utah offer a reduction or no taxes for military members? Something to look into if you have lived there long enough and own a home.


Do I need to pay tax on renting out a bedroom?
Q. I own my townhouse and I have a bedroom I lease out to someone else. I hear some places you dont have to pay tax if the total rent you receive is under certain amount. (I think I received about $2000 last year...) I live in Utah and does anyone know about that? Do I need to pay tax on that? If yes, if I need to report it, how do I report it?

A. Yes, you need to pay tax on the $2000 you received in rent by filing a schedule E. However, you can also claim portions of your mortgage interest, taxes, utilities, homeowners dues, and other home ownership expenses, including depreciation of your property. Without knowing your specific situation, I suspect that if you take these expenses to a skilled tax preparer, you will quite likely wind up with a paper loss on the rental that will reduce your total taxes.
