Open Question: Is PAYG INSTALMENT Compulsory??HELP!?

I've received Annual PAYG instalment notice for my parents. This has never happen before and the amount on the notice is quiet high. The majority of the income is from interests, my parents are retired. I am not sure what the accountant has been doing and i do have the following questions. 1-This is the first time for my parents to receive this PAYG instalment notice. Is this compulsory? 2-The due date on the notice is 21oct09. Do they have to pay the instalment FIRST and then get ATO's refund later or can they just lodge their tax form and wait for further instructions? The reason why i am asking this is because the accountant never explain anything and i would like my parents to change to someone whom is more willing to help and explain. Many thanks in advance guys!!  more

Open Question: Any of you Libs out there feel that you're not being Taxed enough? Taxed the right amount? or Taxed too much?

Solutions: Not taxed enough.....Don't claim any exemptions or deductions and donate your income tax refund to the government. Taxed the right amount..........Then protest the Obama (marxist) administration for raising energy taxes on the power producers which will be passed down to you in the form of higher energy bills. Taxed too much..........Then join a tea party and protest this marxist-socialist agenda that this Liberal Administration is strapping the American citizen with. FYI....I disliked Bush because he acted like a drunken liberal when it came to spending so don't play your worthless Bush card. Hey brown950, Notice you don't have the ability to answer a simple question. Seems to be common with your party.  more

Resolved Question: Amend 2006 1040 by removing state and local income tax deduction?

Issues re: filing of 2007 1040: Is there a net tax benefit where a Schedule A deduction, ie. state/local taxes ($5k) affords no tax benefit in a a prior year (2006) because of the AMT, ie. the tax liability would have been the same with or without the deduction? Where the inclusion of a large St/loc income tax deduction resulted in a large state tax refund in a prior year, must that refund be scheduled on the 1040 in the following year?To the extent the deduction (could?) should not have been scheduled/claimed, is it a better course to amend the prior return, 2006, and remove the claimed deduction, or should the refund simply not be scheduled ont the 2007 return? Discussion: On my 2006 return, I had adjusted gross income of 82k. On Shcedule A I claimed 47k in itemzied deductions, the largest being a miscellaneous deduction for 37.5 k for a loss on a converted Roth IRA (for which the tax had been completely paid and whose validity was thoroughly vetted and not up for discussion here), 4.7 in state and local taxes and 6k of unreimbursed employee expenses. Until I began working on my 2007 return, I did not realize the implication of the state refund I received in 2007. On my 2006 return, the AMT income on on the Form 6251 is 81k, and the AMT was 5.4k. When I refigured the 2006 return (hypothetically since its already filed) by removing the 5k in state and local taxes from Schedule A, the AMT doesn't change. In fact, Line 28 of of the 6251 is identical. It seems clear I received zero benefit from claiming the s/l tax deduction on Sch A. I could have simply left off the deduction. Or I could have itemzied sales tax which would have been a fraction of the state and local income taxes. The Turbotax program worksheet would have a different set of assumptions if I amended the return. Obviously, I could go back and amend the return (you have three years, right) and remove the deduction. Or is that unnecessary under the "net tax benefit" rule (about which I have heard). Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Richard  more

Resolved Question: Employer never filed 1099 misc for me?

I had been putting off filing my income tax returns and am now getting up to date. turns out, one of my employers never filed a 1099misc form for me in 2007. Now they aren't getting back to me about it, and I don't know what to do. It was less than $5,000 but the nice thing about having freelance income was my ability to write off my business expenses, now I am concerned that I won't get an adequate refund! I did not keep my pay stubs unfortunately, so I am at the mercy of this company? Yes, I was reselling a product for a company. $5,000 is the approxiamate commission amount I was paid on the sales (10%).

Resolved Question: Fiance owes $10,000 back taxes, is there a way to get my refund if we get married in Texas?

If we get married, is there a way to avoid having his back taxes taken out of my income/tax refund? I make about $12,000 more than he does per year and that gap is likely to grow. I know that one of the IRS forms says we have to add our incomes together then divide by two if we are filing as Married Filing Separately (MFS) but is there a way they won't take it out of my income if we do MFS or Married Filing Jointly? Any legal references for your answer?  more

Resolved Question: Do it yourself bankruptcy?

I am excellent at defending myself in court. I need to file bankruptcy to clear off a couple of 20-year old student loans and some credit card debt if I or my fiancee ever want to get any income tax refunded or receive any stimulus money. Without bankruptcy, we'll never receive a dime back from the government and will also never get the debt paid off, at our advanced ages. Are there forms available anywhere which I can use to file with? I live in Texas. FYI, when one does not pay a guaranteed student loan, the balance is taken out of every refund the federal government issues to you, i.e. your income tax returns, your spouses income tax returns, and any stimulus payments. This has been happening to me for the past few years. Instead of last year's stimulus check, I received a notice from the IRS saying mine had been sent to a loan company. In Texas, once a student loan is more than...I'd have to look it up again, say 5 or 10 years, it is considered an undue hardship and does qualify for bankruptcy. Mine is 20+ years old.  more

Resolved Question: What is the tax situation for money earned as an escort?

Ok, things are happening fast. My husband and I had a discussion about who would be the stay at home partner and who would work full time after i get pregnant with our darling little baby. Both he and I are bisexual and have different preferences. He likes handsome men and takes on the role of the sweet and feminine sissy boy or goes all the way and dresses and acts like a real girl. I like beautifuyl and sexy girls. We love each other passionately and our lovemaking is better then between a "normal" couple because both of us have a gentleness with each other that precludes the hard driving male sexuality of a man in heat. Ok he came up with the idea of being an escort. I have a low paying job as a Girl Friday for a law firm and he has no employable skills or education beyond a high school diploma. Ok, the bartender and id checker at one of the clubs that we like to go to has been "bugging" us to hook us up with "dates" who are willing to pay. Until today we both said no. Ok, I called them today and they arranged a date for my man with a regular at the club who knows that my husband is really a boy and not a girl. He is getting paid $100 for spending the night with this guy. This guy is a professional and my husband has already been picked up. He drove up in a really fancy car (I dont know the model lol lol but its super fancy) He is being taken out for a romantic dinner with his date, followed by a night of romance in his dates apartment. Oh maybe he can have a regular night with this same man. My husband is a real "flirt" and I know that this guy will really ENJOY his company. I'm really hoping that this will be the start of us making a lot of money so I can quit that lousy job (lol) at the law firm and the two of us can start to afford nice things without having to beg for money from our parents lol. How do we handle the income taxes. I got a W-2 form in January with my MEAGER sniff sniff earnings. We went to a tax preparer and he prepared our taxes after I gave him the W-2. We did get a tax refund YA YA!. Does the bartender at the club issue my husband his W-2 and does he get a paycheck like on Friday like I do? I assume my husband will have multiple dates. Oh I said that my husband will only accept dates with Young Professionals who must not have any STDs plus they must use a condom because I dont want him to catch anything. The bartender and Id checker both agreed. Oh I am my husband's business manager because he doesn't know how to handle money lol lol. I'd like to respond to a few things. It is not prostitution because he is only socializing with his dates and not selling sex on the streets. This particular man is really nice and we know him from the club. He is a Professional and is NOT a sleazy guy. I am glad to find out that we are being underpaid for my husband's services so I will bring that up with the bartender at the club that next time we need more money. Oh, I work for the law firm but do a menial job. I make coffee, Word process letters and misceleneous things (they wont let me do briefs lol ) and run errands. I can't really ask them for their advice on this matter.  more

Resolved Question: Is this really any big surprise to the American people?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Millions of Americans enjoying their small windfall from President Barack Obama's "Making Work Pay" tax credit are in for an unpleasant surprise next spring. The government is going to want some of that money back. The tax credit is supposed to provide up to $400 to individuals and $800 to married couples as part of the massive economic recovery package enacted in February. Most workers started receiving the credit through small increases in their paychecks in the past month. But new tax withholding tables issued by the IRS could cause millions of taxpayers to get hundreds of dollars more than they are entitled to under the credit, money that will have to be repaid at tax time. At-risk taxpayers include a broad swath of the public: married couples in which both spouses work; workers with more than one job; retirees who have federal income taxes withheld from their pension payments and Social Security recipients with jobs that provide taxable income. The Internal Revenue Service acknowledges problems with the withholding tables but has done little to warn average taxpayers. "They need to get the Goodyear blimp out there on this," said Tom Ochsenschlager, vice president of taxation for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. For many, the new tax tables will simply mean smaller-than-expected tax refunds next year, IRS spokesman Terry Lemons said. The average refund was nearly $2,700 this year. But taxpayers who calculate their withholding so they get only small refunds could face an unwelcome tax bill next April, said Jackie Perlman, an analyst with the Tax Institute at H&R Block. "They are going to get a surprise," she said. Perlman's advice: check your federal withholding to make sure sufficient taxes are being taken out of your pay. If you are married and both spouses work, you might consider having taxes withheld at the higher rate for single filers. If you have multiple jobs, you might consider having extra taxes withheld by one of your employers. You can make that request with a Form W-4. The IRS has a calculator on its Web site to help taxpayers figure withholding. So do many private tax preparers. Obama has touted the tax credit as one of the big achievements of his first 100 days in office, boasting that 95 percent of working families will qualify in 2009 and 2010. The credit pays workers 6.2 percent of their earned income, up to a maximum of $400 for individuals and $800 for married couples who file jointly. Individuals making more $95,000 and couples making more than $190,000 are ineligible. The tax credit was designed to help boost the economy by getting more money to consumers in their regular paychecks. Employers were required to start using the new withholding tables by April 1. The tables, however, don't take into account several common categories of taxpayers, experts said. For example: --A single worker with two jobs making $20,000 a year at each job will get a $400 boost in take-home pay at each of them, for a total of $800. That worker, however, is eligible for a maximum credit of $400, so the remaining $400 will have to be paid back at tax time -- either through a smaller refund or a payment to the IRS. The IRS recognized there could be a similar problem for married couples if both spouses work, so it adjusted the withholding tables. The fix, however, was imperfect. -- A married couple with a combined income of $50,000 is eligible for an $800 credit. However, if both spouses work and make more than $13,000, the new withholding tables give them each a $600 boost -- for a total of $1,200. There were 33 million married couples in 2008 in which both spouses worked. That's 55 percent of all married couples, according to the Census Bureau. -- A single college student with a part-time job making $10,000 would get a $400 boost in pay. However, if that student is claimed as a dependent on a parent's tax return, she doesn't qualify for the credit and would have to repay it when she files next year. Some retirees face even bigger headaches. The Social Security Administration is sending out $250 payments to more than 50 million retirees in May as part of the economic stimulus package. The payments will go to people who receive Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, railroad retirement benefits or veteran's disability benefits. The payments are meant to provide a boost for people who don't qualify for the tax credit. However, they will go to retirees even if they have earned income and receive the credit. Those retirees will have the $250 payment deducted from their tax credit -- but not until they file their tax returns next year, long after the money may have been spent. Retirees who have federal income taxes withheld from pension benefits also are getting an income boost as a result of the new withholding tables. However, pension benefits are not earned income, so they don't qualify  more

Resolved Question: questions about tax and income?

I live in NY and I have several questions about tax and income.... 1- Do I receive the W-2 form if I had no income for a whole year? Also do I need to file the tax return if I had no income for that year? 2- What do I need to do to get student loan interest deduction?( I received several 1098-E for 2008 saying that I might be able to deduct my student loan interest). Do I need to send any form? I had no income for the whole year 2008. Would having no income not allow the student loan tax deduction? also how would i receive the deduction? would i receive it by check? 3- Is the income tax deducted(and sent to the government) directly from my salary(semi-weekly pay) before I receive the payment from my company? If they do, how does the whole concept of tax refund work? I know that tax refund is receiving the refund for tax if you payed more tax than you should? My question is...why do they calculate the tax this way? wouldn't it be easier if they calculate the accurate amount of tax you should pay from the first place? Also how do they calculate the tax refund?  more

Resolved Question: Injured Spouse - IRS applied my refund for husband's fed tax owed from before we were married?

Here is the overview: My husband and I married in 2008 and filed a joint return this year. He earned no income and thus had no tax liability (to our knowledge). I would have received a refund of $1,050 based on my earnings and Sched C Deductions. The IRS applied my refund in its entirety to an unknown tax debt (fed tax) that my husband apparently owed from 2003 - this is before we even knew each other, much less were married. Neither one of us had any knowledge of this debt. I downloaded a copy of the 8857 form, but it looks like it is asking for information pertaining only to the tax year in question (which would be 2003). This doesn't seem right - and I certainly don't have records going back that far, as I only keep my tax records for 3 years. I do live in a community property state, but does that matter since A) it's a federal tax debt and B) was incurred before the marriage? All of the information I have been able to find has assumed that the injured or innocent spouse was married and filed a joint return not only for the current tax year but also for the tax year in question (i.e. 2003 in this case). Obviously not the case here, unless I am not understanding the instructions on the form. Is there some other form I need to fill out to make sure the IRS understands that A) the entire refund for 2008 tax year was from my income and B) the amount they withheld may not even be correct, since my husband had no knowledge of any 1040 taxes owed for the year in question (and certainly not $1,050 worth)?  more

Resolved Question: Tax returns for non-resident?

I am a resident of India and I worked in Canada for 6 months. (Nov,07 to April,08). I filed my tax returns with HR block in March,2008 for 2007 and I got a refund amount. Now I want to file my returns for 2008 and contacted HR block. I have sent them my T4 form, Bus pass and rental receipts. They got back to me saying that I owe some amount to CRA.

Resolved Question: Alcoholic Lawyer for a Boss?

I believe my boss (an attorney) is an alcoholic. He is well known for frequenting two of the most popular bars in town (one is just blocks from our office) and one of the bartenders there, whom I met by chance one evening in a different location, told me what he always orders - wine and hard alcohol. One client who has seen him in social situations observed that he was most often very drunk. Many of our clients with a variety of legal issues come to us because they met my boss in one of the two bars. He's even represented both bars more than once, no others and there are a great many bars and taverns in this city. Another attorney even made reference to my boss's spending time at the "local watering hole" for some "free beers and DUII references" when he responded to what turned out to be a frivolous claim he filed on behalf of a client who knew him...da da da...through the bar he usually goes to. Many clients call upset that he does not return their calls (and they've left three or four messages, not a joke), does not keep them updated on the status of their cases, does not follow through on the things he says he will do on their behalf and if they point this out, my boss acts like the client is being unreasonable or claims they're taking it "personally" when he's just being paid to be their lawyer. Whaaaaat? I thought people went to lawyers because something is very personal and they're distraught. In addition, his files are mess and he insists on keeping them in his office where they are not only inaccessible to the office staff at times, but are extremely disorganized with several missing documents (that usually end up in enormous piles of paper stacked in boxes and corners that he wants other people to clean up for him). Despite our efforts to help sort and organize his mess, whatever our accomplishment on that, it gets pulled apart again. It is not uncommon for my boss to drop the ball on a lot of clients and they end up getting a lousy result when they probably should have gotten a good one. Some days he's actually good, most days he does a mediocre to poor job. His clients are angry and somehow he's done nothing to upset them. When he's had a bad morning (or a bad night) he doesn't come in unless he's due in court and if that goes wrong, he takes it out on anyone around him, usually me. I've been barked at, insulted, threatened, degraded and just generally miserable. That's hard to take, especially when he comes in many days smelling like he hasn't had a bath in weeks. The smell makes his whole office reek and me gag. He wears the same clothes for days on end. The guy is in his late fifties, lives alone, has no children, has been divorced for years, has a pile of unpaid bills, collectors calling (he ignores demands in the mail and there is a TON of unopened mail that isn't client related that I'm not supposed to open) whom he hides from and I have to lie for him if they're calling on the phone, does not maintain time records like attorneys are supposed to yet claims he doesn't owe any refunds when clients demand one because he's basically done nothing since they had the bad luck to hire him, and sometimes calls claiming he can't come in because he has a "migraine." Right, sure. I had a migraine once - a bad doozy of one - and he had no clue what was going on. In addition, the Social Security Administration has never gotten reports of wages paid from anyone but me (the employer is required to sign the W-3) after I noticed my wages had never been reported for over three years and he avoids this task like the plague. The State Department of Revenue is ALWAYS sending demand letters for payroll taxes, the employment department has to call every quarter for income reports, the IRS has dropped by, and of course, none of these establishments, from the IRS to the phone company, have any right to demand that he pay them anything. The Worker's Compensation Board has called because he is a non-compliant employer and he refuses to comply, unceremoniously chucking their letters and forms into his famous piles and avoiding their phone calls by having me field them or just not returning them if he really wasn't there. Now, if I so much as jokingly mention to anyone, even my own mother who is the other staffer in this hell, that he's not in a good mood, he has a fit about "loyalty." I get the impression that between what appears to be a drinking problem and an entire passel of unethical business practices and unlawful employment practices, he's more comfortable if no one closely scrutinizes his work. Did I mention clients have gone to the Bar Association several times and that mail almost always has a letter from them about a client complaint? It's an ongoing thing. I'm almost on a first name basis with some of the investigators up there. Isn't there something wrong with that? Would what I said about what appears to be a drinking problem be enough to call the as To the person who accused me of "ranting" and having a "chip on my shoulder": please state your basis in detail for this attack. It would help if you could explain your basis for implying that a substance abuse problem affects no one but the abuser, and that serious ethical issues that directly affect the staff are none of my business. As for being "gone," what's the problem? Didn't I just say I am diligently searching for other employment despite an economic downturn? And I have never not filed a tax return regardless of who reports what.  more

Voting Question: Urgent Help with 1040X form . . . Very confused about a few things?

I am amending our 2008 return. Mistakenly we filed head of household (wife) and single (me) because of misunderstanding of the separated/married guideline. We are amending to status "Married filing Jointly" and the 2 issues I have are these. 1) Does a 1040X have to be submitted for each of the mistaken returns or will 1 cover both? because it appears that one covers both. I have unable to determine that anywhere in the instructions. 2) If only 1 1040X has to be filed to correct our errors, then line 19 confuses me. It reads "19 Overpayment, if any, as shown on original return or as previously adjusted by the IRS". Would that be a combination of both of our refunds that we have already received for 2008, because up until this point in the form they have an "A", "B" & "C" column to separate the 2 incomes and taxes, etc. Thank you  more

Voting Question: What do I do? I have a 8453-OL from 2007... + 2008 1040EZ?

I am trying to complete my taxes by april 15th but I have a dilemma. Last year I filed my taxes with the TaxCut program... for some reason it wouldn't accept the PIN that I created the previous year. I filed anyways... but my tax return was not complete because they needed a signature. I never got around to sending in the paper... and in the mean time I moved. The IRS attempted to send me the 8453-OL, which is the paper they want signed but it was returned to them because I was having problems with the post office. I finally received it in February of this year. In case you don't know, the 8453-OL form is the "U.S. Individual Income Tax Declaration for an IRS e-file Online Return". Basically they want me to fill out some information about myself, sign it and send it in. Easy enough. My question is, since I owed $100 from the 2007 tax year (that I haven't paid) and my refund for the 2008 tax year is $1400, will they just take the $100 from the $1400? Also will there be any problems with sending in the 8453-OL this late??  more

Resolved Question: Do You Think Obama Gave You A Tax Cut?

If you're happy that you have more money in your take-home, then perhaps you're easily duped. He only changed the withholding amount - something you could have done yourself. But if you don't want to owe money at the end of 2009, you should read this post, and then check to see if it applies to you. Here's the deal: On 1/1/09, the income tax increased by 2% across the board for 2008 tax, but they also gave you an additional $1000 of personal exemption. If you make under $30 k. your refund went up. If you make more than $30k, well, you paid more taxes regardless of the Obama $250,000 pledge. But - they have finalized the ”Making Work Pay Credit” adjustment credit which is part of the 2009 Stimulus Package. This credit is $400/person ($800/married joint). However, they are giving it out as a reduction in withholding tax. The credit is approximately $2/exemption claimed (again) payable each week for the remaining 40+ weeks of the year. Your paycheck will show an increase of $5-$20 more (depending on W4 exemptions). But If you are claiming married with 4 dependents (as in you, your spouse, and 2 kids) the $20/paycheck credit will not disappear when you hit the amount of the credit that you're entitled to. Also, if your spouse is also employed, your spouse's check will also receive the credit, putting you farther above and beyond the $800 you're entitled to. This effectively has you doubling up the credit, as well as overspending it, and you will have to pay it back next year in April. Check with your accountant or at least your payroll specialist, and consider filing a new W-4 form to negate this new ‘credit’. If Congress decides not to raise rates next year, you will get an additional $400/$800 in your refund next April. But if they do (and they are Democrats!) at least you won’t owe penalties and interest on money you don’t have. The federal government creating a trap. Don't walk in while thanking them for letting you keep the money you actually worked for. So, did you honestly think Obama gave you a tax cut? Larry Katz, the Democratic chief economist at the Labor Department during the Clinton administration, found that workers are almost three times more likely to find jobs when benefits are just about to run out.  more

Resolved Question: advise on how to handle an unhappy client?

I prepared taxes for a client with what he told me was investment property income. he kept saying I had a partner and all income and expenses were split in half. i asked for the amounts, he gave them to me. I completed the tax return, but because he was suppossed to confirm some other personal info, he didn't take the forms (he paid me though), a week later he called and said he was planning on refinancing his home, and needed to know his adjusted gross income. I gave him this information (very low due to loss on investment). He called me the next day and say that the adj gross income was too low and that was not going to help him with the refinancing. He then questioned if i had done his taxes correctly because he NEEDED to show more income in order to qualify for loan. He also mentioned that his partner had in fact the same tax situation and his AGI was three times a much, that his accountant did his taxes right. I of course was shock, but none the less I tried to be professional and polite. I mentioned I only enter information he provides to me, blah, blah,blah, in a few minutes into the conversation he mentioned that the error was probably on the number I entered because I was suppossed to split them in half......I am not sure what to make of this....i remember I asked him many times if the figures he was giving me were already split and he said many time YES!!! I think that because he is refinancing he is trying to make his return look good in order to qualify for a loan. He is supposed to come in tomorrow to pick his updated return, and I don't know how to handle this........I am upset because he questioned my work, and he pretty much attacked me by insinuating that I altered his return, and used my own numbers which is ridiculous! what would i get out of doing that..I even offered a refund of my fees and told him to take his business somewhere else, but he didn't accept..I know i have to be professional but i am finding it very hard to see past that and be nice to him.... I mean do i allow him to insult my work even though I know I did nothing wrong? how do i respond to statements like "just do my taxes right regardlesss of whether i pay or not" .......any advise???? answer to chat spla: Perhaps i used the incorrect vocabulary in a rush to sumarize the situation. to sumarize the answer to your questions.... 1- this guy bought, had rehabbed and sold a home. expenses and income were split in half since this other individual put half in. this other person (not my client) completed his return first and file all of this as investment income. 2- parnertship is not registered, no schedule K-1 completed no partnership return was prepared for any of them 3- The information I entered was obtained from the closing paperwork, the receipts of this expenses, the check of the proceeds, etc..... 4- is not like i just put any numbers in..... 5- i determine the net proceeds, and gain/loss, etc accordingly with the numbers on the documents provided. - I asked him many time is the receipts he brought in for labor, materials, etc were half of what it was spent, he said yes...he now says those receipts were the total spent chukie -doreen, thanks, this is my second year doing this and I truly dont' have anyone to ask for advice.....hard to believe considering the big company i work for. thanks for your help  more

Ok. I made another post earlier about owing the IRS $770 because I was missing 2 out of 6 W2s for 2007. Ok, that's one thing. Fine. Let's put that aside... Now, I just noticed something that is way in the back of my 2007 tax return document, two notices... Mind you they came WITH my 07 tax return doc in 2007 but i never noticed them before cuz I didnt really go through the document like that, I Just assumed everything was fine.
