Co-op of the Day: 179 Ocean Parkway
While the kitchen isn’t exactly doing it for us, this convertible three-bedroom at 179 Ocean Parkway in Kensington looks like a reasonable way to pick up a family-sized pre-war apartment for under $500,000. (The asking price is $459,000 and the monthly maintenance is $703.) Think this is a good deal for 1,200 square feet? Any…

Well, they buy diapers so I think we can assume they have a kid or two. And where in NYC can you find full time day care for less than $1000/month?!?!? Or should I say where that you would WANT to leave your child everyday?
I make 115K and my total tax laibility for 2007 was around 28K.
Someone with 100K salary with kids and a 401K should be netting at least around 75K
11.23 – ok, how much had you paid in taxes already?
I make about 70K and got back 7K in April.
Let me guess 10.41 – you earn 35K and have been fed the lie that the “rich” somehow pay less taxes than you proportionately.
Agreed 60K take home pay is low for parents with a $100K income but I don’t care how many deductions they have kids, 401k, etc. there’s no way they can legally get “a tax refund in the order of tens of thousands dollars.”
Who said they had kids? Even taking the max 401K, lets say 15K, reducing your taxable income to 85K theres no way you getting tens of thousands back. You do live in NYC right? (you know – NYS and NYC tax on top of medicare and SS and Fed income tax).
Unless of course you are massively overpaying tax somehow in the first place – which means you are clown “who doesn’t know how income tax works” and is lending the Fed “tens of thousands” of dollars interest-free until tax time.
So you guys think someone taking home 60K on 100K income is realistic? really? 40% Tax in taxes for 100K? No deductions at all? With Kids, Childcare Expenses, Max 401 K contributions.
You guys really have no idea how income tax works.
9.45 is correct – the only way you could do that is with a way-shady accountant
