New Cal Tax Law Gives Equal Treatment to Domestic Partners.

Here's a piece of useful information about registered domestic partners and their tax filing status:

[Remember that registered domestic partners in California can either be a committed same sex couple or a committed opposite sex couple where one partner is 62 years or older.]

California State Controller and Franchise Tax Board (FTB) Chair Steve Westly announced new changes in California tax law ( L. 2006, S1827 (c. 802), eff. 01/01/2007) that gives registered domestic partners the same tax filing status as married couples, starting with tax year 2007. Click here for the press release.

Under current state and federal law, domestic partners use the single or head of household filing status.  (California FTB News Release PR06:061, 10/24/2006.)

“California has recognized domestic partnerships since 2003, but State tax laws have not,” Controller Westly said. “This new law will ensure that domestic partners are given fair treatment by getting the same filing status as their married counterparts.” L. 2006, S1827 (c. 802), eff. 01/01/2007 allows registered domestic partners to file their state tax returns using either the “married filing jointly” status or “married filing separate.”

The new law takes effect for tax year 2007, which taxpayers will begin filing in January 2008, and does not impact federal tax law.

It's like driving down the street and having people not gesturing with all five fingers. ...
It's one way to gain attention.

With all the recent worry over the recession and downturn, which jobs are still safe? Review this set of jobs outlined to remain secured for anyone.
According to the opinion of executive “Hello-VIP” group, jobs in informational technologies are among the fields expected to yield top jobs this year. Learn more about which jobs are expected to see the most growth, the highest starting salaries, and the best opportunities.

Technology Jobs

We were asked which technical skill sets are in the greatest demand in our IT departments. Our response? Administration, support, and management skills are golden:

4. Database management

Creative Careers

Looking for a job that challenges your creative side? Review starting salary ranges for some of the top creative jobs for 2009:
· Animation specialist: $55,000-$90,000
· Desktop publisher: $30,500-$40,000
· Graphic designer: $25,000-$45,000

And those are just starting salaries!

Freelancing is another way to keep your creative career in demand. The greatest benefits of using creative freelancers are: freelancers provide access to skills that didn't exist internally (34 % of executives said that) and freelancers help avoid overstaffing followed by layoffs (20 % of executives noted that). In this erratic economy, you may earn more by diversifying your skills into a range of different jobs.
In this inconsistent economy, popular jobs may see more competition. Hiring managers may expect applicants to be able to start on the first day with a strong set of skills.

Good luck!
