I am planning to buy a house in the state of washington in year 2010. Since I don’t have mortgage, I take the standard deduction now and I am wondering if I can keep doing it next year and still deduct my mortgage interest payments.

Where can my daughter get college money?
Saturday, August 29th, 2009My daughter is 18 and she is starting at the University of Washington this month, but her mom and I have been going through a nasty divorce for a couple of years and as a result, we are both broke, the house is tied up in red tape, and we have no money to go towards college. My ex works for microsoft and makes enough money to exclude my daughter from many grants, etc. I have been struggling for the last couple of years and have been unemployed for much of it, but she lived with her mom most of that time. Our credit is toast for several reasons (had theft identity, the divorce, etc.) and that excludes us from many of the remaining funding sources. My daughter officially moved out and lives 100 miles away now near school. She has just started her own credit and is very responsible, but at ,000.00 a year, she has been unable to get funding to cover all of it. What can we do? She has worked really hard to get accepted to the UW and it is not fair that this could end it all.
