A reputable online firm is asking for independent contractors. I'm simply wondering if as a Canadian I am eligible. This is the actual text, "to work as a contractor in the U.S., be at least 18 years of age, and be able to complete an IRS Form W-9."
How do I know if I meet those requirements?

If my wife and I each receive a gift of $10,000 in our own names, but we file married tax return, do we have to claim those gifts? They are pure gifts to each of us separately, and not earned income.

I know that an individual can receive up to 12,000 without filing, but how does that apply when we each receive 10,000 and we're married? Does the law see that as a $20,000 gift to "one person" or are they still qualified as individual gifts, regardless of a married filing status?

I called my bank and they said that the only way someone would be able to tamper with accounts is if he/she had a certain license to do this with the account info; and I could easily file a claim and everything can be traced.

Does anyone have much experience with direct deposit pay?

I just got audited for 2004. The IRS said I had 180,000.oo in my accounts which was unaccounted for. My question is was it my accountants responsibility to tell me my bank accounts and records weren't balanced before he filed it that year? Surly as an accountant, he should had known that it would be a problem. Cause now the IRS wants me to find what it was after three years. And my records arn't in the best shape. Alot of the papers were already disintegrated naturally.. There is pretty much no way I can tell how that much records was missing. Now I just recieved a letter from the IRS about 2005 and possibly 2006. What should I do? I don't know what went wrong. Should my accountant take some responsibilities as far as penelties and interests?

Hi, I'm a new restaurant / bar owner. I was blown away by the outrageous taxes the government charges restaurant owners. Withholding taxes along with sales and use taxes in North Carolina are killing me. At this rate I can not afford to stay in business. Is there any advice anyone can give me to get some sort of relief. If I earn $40,000 gross per month and my food and alcohol expenses are $20,000.. I'm being taxed on $60,000 at 4.5% and 2.5%. I pay taxes on the alcohol at time of purchase. Why am I being double taxed in the sales and use tax. How do I profit between overhead and taxes?

It seems a major argument for people who say universal healthcare is a bad idea is that taxes would be higher. Obviously the money has to come from somewhere but currently Even if you have health coverage, you pay into it every paycheck and then have deductables and not everything is covered and you can be denied for big expenses - dont you think not paying all this would cancel out the tax raise?

I was audited by the IRS for my 2004 federal income tax returns and they found an error, which then affected my 2005 federal returns. I am being charged interest for both years. I am appealing their decision but I would like for my CPA who prepared my returns to share in the mistake. Is it possible to sue your CPA for such mistakes and is it common to sue the tax preparer for mistakes on income taxes? It appears that the CPA was either not aware/familiar with a tax law or just made a mistake. Whatever the case, I was audited and I have to pay for this mistake because I signed the tax returns. Please help!

Hello, Is there anyone out there who will let me use their Address so I dont has to to pay out-of state tuition? I just need an address to have atleast one bill to come too, so the college will not make me pay. If I have to pay out of state tuition is 4 times higher than in state.
