I used taxact last year to do our taxes, we are both self employed. Before last year we had always used H&R block. My husband wants us to go back to H&R block because he says we are more likely to get audited if they see that we did our own taxes. But they charge us about $380.00 to do our taxes. What do you think we should do?

When we bought our home I put my son's name on the deed to avoid his having to pay whopping inheritance taxes. In the event of my inevitable demise, he is already on title and just assumes full rather than partial ownership of the property.

Now somebody tells me that this will actually cause legal confusion & result in his paying whopping capital gains taxes upon our demise when he sells the real estate, and that it's better to leave it as part of the estate for him to inherit and dispose of. Which is true?

I pay my council tax monthly and the installments are 10 payments from 1 April to 1 January for the period 1 April to 31 March (payments due on the 1st) I was a bit short of cash with Xmas ect so paid Decembers and January's instalments by cash on the 23rd Jan. Today I recieved a Court summons for the 2 outstanding installments (Dec and Jan which I paid on the 23rd of Jan) .the summons is dated the 20th Jan and costs £40. As I have paid my Yearly amount in full before the end of the period (ie 31 March) can the council persue me for payment of the cost of the summons ?.

My buddy gets what is called a truck allowance for his work truck. It is not taxed. The loan is in his name. He also has a gas card to fill up daily for work use. Can he claim anything or file for any type of reimbursement such as mileage or what not? Please point me to an official source if you know of one. Thanks

I am an approved driving instructor and to enable me to qualify for this profession I had to spend a large sum of money on training & numerous tests. Once qualified I start my business on a self employed basis. I have been told (hearsay) that due to the fact that the training took place before I started the business I may not be able to claim it againt the accounts. Is this correct & if so is there anyway around this? If possible, can I claim 100% back or just a part of the capital? I personaly feel that as the training was wholly to enable me to start the business in the first place I should be able to claim all or at least a percentage of the money I paid out initially! Can anyone please shed any light on this subject or offer any advice? I would really appreciate any help with this dillema, thank you :-)

If your on a wage of say 16000 (permanent, working 5 days a week, on PAYE where your employer sorts out tax, etc) and then you do a one off job that pays about 1500 in your spare time, what do you do about tax? Is it a second job? What percentage do you have to give in tax?
