Every time anyone questions the Federal Income Tax law there is an instant slew of responses and attacks.

The answers just seems to immediate and filled with that typical tax jargin like "Article 26" and the "16th Amendment was ratified" but they never just show us the law.

Then you get that "Just quit paying and see what happens" crap

They can't show the law, but they sure like to throw around prison comments and stuff like "you just wait and see"

It really is quite disturbing

It is just to fishy if you ask me.

They're saying (The IRS), that based on the average salary that professionals of that type (Real estate professionals) make per year that the assessment they are interested in receiving is around $3,000, but no transactions were done whatsoever, the real estate license was obtained but no business was done.

hoosing Your Tax Debt Attorney

If you are either a tax defaulter or tax creditor, it's important that you realize who a tax debt attorney,before you get into any process to save your own neck. Not every tax default situation should land you in court and a tax debt attorney would be able to help you, if you just discovered that you have a tax debt situation and you want it to be solved.Facing IRS without a tax debt attorney,the chances of you getting a very good deal are next to none. Without an attorney who could handle the situation well and are able to bring the situation to your side, and what the system that you're entitled to, you would be in the same situation as like a fish out of water.

for various reasons, people incur tax debts and not all of these reasons are centered on them just trying to slip away from paying their dues. Sometimes these taxes may be incurred due to longstanding and financially tasking issues such as when you get sacked from your current job or you have a long divorce case where your partner is suing you for half of everything you own. At other times these taxes tend to accumulate if you don't pay them regularly enough, if you don't file tax returns or if the IRS makes a mistake. More often, the accumulated taxes are the least of your problems and you may face huge penalties when you forget to pay your taxes. These penalties are usually much worse than the actual accumulated taxes you have to pay.

The job of the tax debt attorney is to help you get some of your taxes amount waived. It's extremely difficult to get your tax debts completely waived but you can negotiate a good deal. The good is that the IRS may be strict about their money but they aren't just mindless human.They know that people have problems and may often find it hard to come up with what they legally owe when they owe it. The reason huge penalties follow the late payment of taxes is to determine people who would naturally find it okay to dodge the tax and pay at a later date if they do intend to pay at all. With hefty penalties people would naturally be compelled to pay early rather than to run and get in trouble with the IRS.

A good tax debt attorney will negotiate with the IRS on your behalf so they can grant you some form of relief from your tax problems. The IRS may then decide to waive some or all of your penalties and your tax debt attorney can work with them to negotiate an easy tax payment schedule that will help keep them off your back.

There are a lot of circumstances that could be in your favor when facing the IRS and what the tax attorney will do is to determine what these circumstances are and present them to the IRS. A good tax debt attorney will sort out your problems in a manner that will be more convenient for you rather than you sitting in a jail cell or having your entire property confiscated.

I got paid $200 as an independent contractor. Do I have to report this to the IRS next tax season, or is there a maximum amount that one can make without having to report it?(e.g., $400, $1000, etc).

Also...although I got directly paid $200, essentially I made -$90. >:( The expenses incurred from completing the project costed me every penny of the $200 that I got paid. In addition, the consequences that resulted from this project resulted in losing hours at work the next day, which costed me $90 from my paycheck. I know I cannot write off the time off from work on my taxes, but the $200 expenses were a direct consequence of going to work on the project.

Okay this was a really frustrating experience for me. A few weeks ago, my friend talked me into doing a paid project. We were getting paid $200 for completing this one-day event project. We got paid with a check and were told that we would receive a 1099 form at the end of the year, claiming on it that we'd received $200, so that we would have to pay taxes on this amount.

Well the project ran past the time it was supposed to end, and as a result my car got towed. It costed $200 to get it out of the lot(not even speaking of the inconveniences stemming from that horrible experience). Plus, I had to leave work early to get my car, so I lost $90 in pay from doing that.

From my understanding, I worked as an independent contractor on that $200 project(hence the 1099), therefore I should be able to write off business-related expenses. In the end, the expenses(the car tow) costed MORE $ than the $200 I made. I do NOT want to pay taxes on money that I eseentially lost. Any tax advice?

I've heard that if you want to rat out someone to the IRS for tax fraud that the government will give you a reward of a certain percentage of what they collect. However, you have to fill out a certain form. Does anybody know what form this is and how to obtain it?

My last employer found out I was looking for another job and fired me because of it (that's the reason he gave me). When I filed for unemployment he contested it claiming that I had been reprimanded 4 or 5 times for my job performanace (an outright lie---He never reprimanded me, in fact, a week before he fired me he gave me a raise). Normally I wouldn't rat anyone out to the IRS, but I'm making an exception in this case.

I have had a relatively short working career, the part-time and temp jobs I did through college yielded little income.

Since then (The past 5 to 6 years) I have had somewhat steady employment as a contract designer and no real way to track my income ( I have changed addresses a few times - companies I worked for kept sporadic records etc.) until this past year where I landed a management level position - yet still as a contracted worker with no benefits or taxes taken out to my knowledge.

I now feel it's time to move on to payroll and into the benefits package - but that won't occur until late October of this year.

I'm currently making 45K (annually) and do not want to jeopardize what little money a make by potentially alerting the IRS to my situation before I get my expenses and receipts together.

I'm confident I can "get right" with my tax situation - what's my best course of action?



Thanks again for your time and interest.

My current salary is 42k yearly of which I contribute 10% to an employee sponsored 401k plan. Would it be beneficial for me to open up a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA?

Also, give the fact that I am contributing 10% into my 401k, could I still use my Traditional IRA as a tax deduction... thanks...
