I have asked a similar question a few times, and I wanted to clarify my situation in the hopes of being able to get the most accurate answer. I was hired to work as a secretary for 40 hours a week at a rate of 8 dollars an hour. My employer told me that I will need to do my own taxes, and she will not deduct them for me. I will not be filling out a W4 form at work. I was told that I would need to pay my taxes quarterly. This is brand new to me, and I am worried. I am trying to figure out how much money I will need to take out of each weekly pay check so that I don't get into a situation of owing more taxes than I can afford to pay. My husband is not working, and we are on a very tight budget. I need to know how much to save each week for taxes, because every penny counts!

I went to Express Tax in Millwaukee, WI in January 2006 to file my 2005 tax. I was approved for a RAL loan; however I was not informed at that time that I was due to receive the balance of my federal refund by check. It was not until today when I went to H&R block that I found out that I was due the balance.
When I contact Express tax service that informed me that the check was sent to there office and signed by some one who apparently frauded me out of my refund. Who can I contact to bring legal action against this company I did not even know about it and if I had received the check it would have been deposited into my personal credit union account. I feel that I have been scammed. Do I contact the IRS? Should I contact the bank and let them know I never received a check? When I asked the people at this company they refused to give me the name of the bank.

The best picks could be midcap IT companies - Bluestar Infotech and Sasken.

I have done a lot of research on self employment taxes, and have the following information from ehow.com: Instructions
STEP 1: Figure out your net income from self-employment. Net income is typically your total business receipts minus your total business deductions. STEP 2: Multiply your net income from self-employment by 0.9235 (or 92.35 percent). STEP 3: Multiply the amount of your net earnings that is $76,200 or less by 0.153 Add your two answers together. This is your self-employment tax. STEP 4: Report your self-employment tax on Schedule SE of the 1040. Tips & Warnings
You can deduct half of your self-employment tax in determining your adjusted gross income. Do this in the Adjustments section of the 1040.

My question is WHERE do I deduct the 1/2 of the self employment tax?

I will be working 40 hours a week at 8$ an hour. How can I figure out how much tax to take out of each pay check?

I am starting a job tomorrow where I will be considered "self employed". I will be working as a full-time secretary at a Real Estate agency and will be responsible for handling my own taxes. Apparently this is a common situation at jobs here in TN. I have been doing a lot of research on self employment taxes, and it doesn't seem to be as bad as I thought it might be. (I was warned that I would be paying more in taxes than if an employer took out the taxes.) I am curious if anyone has any straightforward and EASY tips on how to I could figure out that taxes I will need to hold back from each pay check so that I don't run into trouble with owning too much when I pay my taxes quarterly. I will be claming married with 2, because my husband is not working, and I am the sole provider in my household.

I am a stay at home mom. Will we get more back for our tax refund because my husband now has 3 dependents with one income?
Also, I am curious about the H & R Block instant loan. Do they do it if you have your W2 to go off of instead of a pay check stub?

After job hunting (60+ applications and 2 interviews ending in you are over qualified) the mother load of interviews (3) have come up for the next 2 days. How long can I hold off if interview 1 or 2 offers a job. One company is smaller and may yield an offer tomorrow, and I've already worked at one of the places for interview on Tuesday. I'd like to try and make a best decision out of the three, but after not working forever (one and half months) I dare not screw up an offer if I get one! Help please!

Blockbuster allowed someone who was not authorized to rent on my account to rent movies(do not know who) and they returned one late. I am not missing any cards that I know of and I know that they are supposed to ask for ID when you don't have your card, so how they rented on my account without a card(or ID)is beyond me. I now have a late fee---for a movie I did not even rent. I tried to talk to the manager of the store and she said that she couldn't do anything(I know that's not true) and that she would have to talk to the owner of the store and call me back. Still waiting for a call!! In fact, when I talked to her, she said that the movie had "automatically" showed up in the drop box that very night. I honestly did not rent these movies(one was returned on time) and if they had looked at my account, they would have seen that I have paid late fees before when they have been movies I have rented and they have been late. Will this late fee come back to haunt me as far as credit goes?
