Taxes - January 2007

OK so I've used TaxAct for like the past 4 years. This year I got a error back that said I could not place a space in the last name field but there is a space.
DELA ROSA
Have you had this problem? What do I do?
Is it because I got married?
But I didn't change my name

HELP!

I'm a full time secretary in a building that has other businesses in it. Well, my day wasn't always completely full so I did some secretarial services for other businesses in the building. Well, I never thought about them giving me a 1099 because I really didn't do that much work for either of them. I did about $600 of work for one company about 4 or $500 for the other in a years time. Now both companies I did work for are giving me a 1099. Do you always have to file it? I mean like if its under a certain amount of money or something. I was counting on my tax return but now am I going to have to pay a lot? I don't know anything about this stuff...........?help?

I am paying child support for my daughter and I paid for her daycare costs, which totalled $2,680. Can I claim that as a tax deduction even though I'm not claiming her as a dependent?

I sold a house in 2005 and claim the house selling exemption for my capitol gains and that time I was single. I got married in 2006 and before I got married my spouse sold her house and made a profit on it. We are now filing a joint return. Can we claim the capitol gains exemption since she was single at the time of the sell and meets all the requirements?

I am being audited for claiming my nephew as a dependent on my Federal 2004 returns. He DID live with me the ENTIRE YEAR of 2004 and I DID care for him as my own child.

I believe that his father, who provides him no support or shelter, tried to claim him as a dependent also.

They are requesting my nephews birth certificate, school records, my utility bill, and my lease (to prove that he lived with me).

Does anyone know why am I being audited?

Should my husband and I wait until we sell our investment property, purchased in 2006, before deducting our expenses? We're not sure if we should file those expenses on our personal income tax forms now or on our business tax forms when we sell it. My husband has his own home improvement business and has personally done all the work on our investment property which we bought to "flip".

Thank You,

MR

I am wondering what is the best way for me to file taxes. I am separated and living in different house from my spouse. I have 1 of my 2 kids with me. Should we still file married jointly or married separate? Also which of us can file head of household or how does it work in these type situations? Can both of us claim head of household? Thanks!

I graduated college in December 2005. I owed my university around $1,300 dollars in tuition and fees when I finished my degree. I didn't pay the university until February 2006. Can I claim that $1,300 as a deduction on this year's (2006) taxes?

I had a job at the beginning of the year for a brief amount of time before the business more or less folded. I have not yet recieved a W2 (I know I have some time left), and I'm worried I may not get one. However, I really didn't make that much money at this job, and I remember reading somewhere that if you make less than a certain amount, you don't have to report it on your taxes. Is that true? If so, what is that amount?

ok here is the scenario:

My gross pay per year is $70,000. After taxes I receive only $2000 every bi-weekly. So gov is chewing off about $695 every bi-weekly from my paycheck.

(1) I am single
(2) I don't own house
(3) Fed allowance I claim is 1

I am sad and crying, please help!!!!!!!! How would I save money? Will I get money back at the end of the year?

Yesterday my husband & I file our income tax return. We made a combined income of $102K but I started a new job first week of December in which I made about $2300 & I forgot all about that W-2 form so I did not take it with me. Our refund is of $2777 Fed & $1454 State and was electronically filed. I know there is nothing I can do right now but what will happen. Am I going to get in trouble for those $2300 that I did not report or can I do them next year. REAL ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

If my husband is the only working parent in the house and he made roughly $25,000 last year I think that he can file head of household. My question is how much can you possibly get back for that?
We have 2 children

Ok, please forgive me for asking but I am very tax ignorant and I'm trying to avoid going to H & R Block.

I am trying to file my own taxes online, but it doesn't seem to add up.

#1. I am a part-time night college student.
#2. I have 1 child.
#3. I am Head of Household.
#4. I paid $150 a week in child care. ($7800.00 year)
#5. Income was $73,000.
#6. I live in New York City.
#7. Paid over $17,000 in taxes.

Now, I am sure that the correct taxes have been taken out of my checks, but I did it online and it said my tax return would be $9524.00.

I asked my sister (Laurelin) and she has told me that I must of did something wrong to get that amount, but I can't find anything wrong, or is it just that my refund will just be that amount, and or possibly too much taxes were taken out?

My hubby is a mechanic, and had to buy literally $9,000 in tools for his job. My Q. is can we right them off without having to bypass the standard deduction, because we don't have enough to right off to reach the limit to make it worth it to us. So is there any other way to right them off?
