I'm due to receive a bonus in July. How can I calculate how much taxes will be taken out?
Q. I'm due to receive a bonus in July. How can I calculate how much taxes will be taken out? I live in california. I'm using excel, and am keeping a running total of what my bonus will be. How can I show what it will be after taxes?? If the bonus will put me at a little under 5000, then what bracket will I be at?

A. In terms of a paycheck, they will probably withhold 25% for federal (I'm not in California so I don't know the state amount, but I've seen references to 9.3%). This is a flat amount allowed by the IRS. You will also get hit with 7.65% fica/mc. The problem though, is that your bonus isn't an isolated event on your tax return. Your bonus is part of your total income. If your tax bracket for additional money is less than 25%, you'll get a bigger refund at tax time; if your tax bracket for additional money is more than 25%, you'll owe. Get 1040ES from IRS.gov. The 2007 numbers are close enough. Set up your speadsheet like I did with fields for the income items you normally have. Then have a YTD column and a rest-of-year estimate… [cont.]

I'm 29 weeks pregnant. How early should I start washing baby clothing and blankets?
Q. I know that seems like a strange question, but I'm starting to get that urge to wash everything, but I don't want to do it too soon. Any good suggestions on when to launder everything? Since a few people have mentioned it, I should note that I am planning on using a dye-free scent-free laundry soap - I already do because of my terrible allergies.

I'm having a big spaghetti dinner for 35 people. What is the best way to keep the pasta hot?
Q. Also, how much pasta do I cook for that many people? After the noodles are cooked, do I leave them in the water? Do I rinse them? I understand I'm not to put oil or butter on them. Professional help please!

A. I boiled salted water and put the uncooked noodles in it without any further cooking with the hopes of having them ready when the family came home when everyone was running late. The noodles disintegrated in the pot, so I wouldn't do that. I would get my sauce cooked well ahead of time and keep it simmering, but keep a big pot of water hot, nearly boiling, and keep adding water to it, so that about 10 minutes ahead of serving the pasta I could cook the noodles and add them to the hot spaghetti sauce. A lot of good cookbooks have a "cooking in quantities" or "cooking for a crowd" sections. Have a great party. Get one of those great big platter/bowls that are kind of flat and serve the pasta in that and if you have a really big platter… [cont.]
