Taxes - July 2007

I recently got hired by the Home Shopping Network as a Work at Home Representative. I have to work exclusively from my own home. They require me to have a computer to work from and a headset telephone and to get local telephone service. Under regular circumstances I wouldn't buy these things. Is it possible for me to write these things off on my taxes?

A few different people at work (including my old boss) have told me that you can claim 9 allowances on your w-4 for a couple of months without being penalized by the IRS. Is that true?

Most responses said that I need to provide more than half of his support. Here I add my situation:

1. I live with my parents. We are 4 people in family.
2. Monthly rent is $1060. Every month I pay $540 or more as rent, where the rest ($520) is paid by my dad. And I've been doing that from the beginning of 2007.

So basically I am paying more part of the total rent. I also occasionally pay for food and other stuff. Does that consider as that I am paying more than half support of my brother?

I know that whatever profit there is on the sale would first go to the IRS toward the tax lien, but I am not sure how the tax lien will affect the sale. By the way, after selling the property the tax lien will not be totally paid off. All of the money from the sale will go toward the lien and it won't be enough to pay the entire debt. Does that effect the sale?Will it take longer to close the deal? does the IRS have to sign off on it? How does it affect the marketing of the property and does it affect the buyer in any way?

I made some mistakes (my fault) and although the IRS seems satisfied with my return i am fairly certain I owe them money.
I plan to approach them and will do so with help from a CPA.
In the meantime can they freeze my accounts with no notice or dunning letter?

I have two employees from India that work regular schedules for me, about $5,000 each a year. Are they considered as employees or contracted labor or doesn't it matter since they don't live in the United States. Please give me as much insight on this as you can.

Thank you

Like when they save reciepts, does it mean that they pay that same amount less from what they owe at the end of the year. Ex. if I spend $600 on a business trip that qualifies as business expenses, I can then owe $600 less on my taxes?

The IRS just sent me a refund for EIC for 2006. Since I was not employed but receiving survivor benefits for myself and children, I did not think I could claim the EIC. I have not claimed it since 1998 and have supported four children. Can I go back and claim the EIC for 1999-2005? If so, how do I begin this process? Thanks.

Isn't this true that if we close our borders, then we will put a ban on people who want to travel freely. These free thinkers who do not follow the citizenship of any particular country are as important to us as any other fed officer who is draped into rules and regulations.
