Answers to Your Financial Planning Questions

(NECN) - You the NECN viewers asked the questions and she has the answers.

Joining NECN Morning from our Suffolk University downtown Boston studio is certified financial planner Jennifer Lane.

Ajay in Malden: "I have a question regarding first time home buyer credit. I want to buy a house. I'm a first time home buyer and will be eligible for the mortgage on my own income. However, as a safety net I was contemplating including my son as a co-borrower so if I lose my job and he ends up paying the loan he would be able to claim the mortgage interest tax credit. He already owns a home, but is planning to sell it and stay with us when we have our home."

Brian in Worcester: "I graduated college last year and just started working. This is the first year I'll need to file a tax return. Should I hire a tax person or are the online services ok to use?"

Betty in Fairhaven MA: "Wondering what your recommendation would be for a safe credit report. I just found out my credit card has been used fraudulently. Any website I've looked at requires personal info that I'm reluctant to give out."
