Taxes - October 2007

I didn’t file taxes for 2005 or 2006. I moved around a lot during at that time and had a hard time keeping track of my W2's and not loosing them. One major place I worked for doesn’t even exist anymore (the Maytag call center “Randstad”, is gone now that whirlpool took over) and they sent my W2 to the wrong place! Now there is no one I contact to get another one. I need to know the best SAFE way to request my back W2's for 2005 and 2006. I don’t care if it costs a fee but I want to file for these years when I file for 2007. I'm 99.9% positive I'm owed money back for these years and I don’t want to loose out now. I guess you could call me a power procrastinator. Can anyone tell me the best way to get copies of my W2’s before tax season? I've tried looking on my own at irs.gov and all I found was a form for back returns that included a copy of the W2's. I didn’t file so that wouldn’t work for me right? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you!!!

I am taking on a side job I can either contract as a 1099 employee or be paid as a employee. I make a decent income and so does my wife, so what about the tax consequences?

My friend did his taxes on a website twice once claiming the info from the 1099, once without claiming it! He found out he would get more money back by not claiming it! What could happen if the irs found out?

i'm an 18 year old teen living in america who is about to start trading. i've done several jobs in the past years and saved up 10,000 dollars. i have no other ways of income and i just quit my job and mcdonalds. if i trade stocks, how much tax will the government take? also is the tax charged on the total amount you make or on the profit. by this i mean let's say you buy company XYZ for a 1,000 dollars and sell it and make 1,100 dollars. is the tax going to be charged on the 100 dollar profit i made or the total 1,100?

I have tenants that only pay very little (family) and I know that if you don't make a certain amount from income relating to being a "landlord" then you dont have to file. So my question is, how much do you have to make in a year to know you have to file. Relating to income from rent.

I know that if you don't make a certain amount then you don't do taxes. Just don't know that amount! Curious....TY

Hi I'd like to know if one has to pay taxes on capital gains when:

After selling a security (stock, bond, commodity, currency, etc) and gaining profit from it you re-invest your profit within say another four months or so?

If all the profit is then re-invested do you have to still pay taxes?

Thanks

I have a large portfolio of stocks that I bought several months ago and I have huge profits on paper. If I sell now, I will have to pay a 28% cap gains tax on it, so I am wondering how long I should hold these stocks in order to qualify for the much lower long term cap gains tax rate. Thanks for your help.

Our income tax as derived from wages may go to the treasury dept. however, isn't it a little suspicious that the amount of wage originated tax revenue is almost precisely the same as the interest owed by the U.S. Government to the federal reserve bank?

This is to say, the lip service paid by the U.S. Government stating such terms as "Your tax dollars at work", and "we need to increase taxes to such and such an end..." is just that, lip service.

Where is the accounting to say otherwise? I mean, the logic here would mean that the govt. borrows from the fed res bank for the monies that are said to be tax derived funds for the many programs. While the taxes we pay can not begin to pay the principal of this constantly growing debt.

Schools, roads, PD,FD, welfare, etc. (local programs) are paid for by sales and state and property taxes . The Armed Forces and other federal expences are covered by Corporate tax revenues.

I don't want to be right on this. Please prove me wrong

I realize you can get up to $12k FROM your parents tax-free per year, but can you gift money/property to them if they are in need? Seems logical, but our tax code tends to defy logic.

For your education. Hillary Clinton would like to give $5000 to children born in America to pay for education or what ever. I paid for my own education here, so why should my tax money pay for other peoples children.
