Taxes - October 2007

I just started working for the first time since I graduated from college. I received my first paycheck, and the government took out almost $40. I'm single and only claim myself as a dependent. Is this normal?

The bank played a big part in forcing me to go bankrupt. They didnt have a problem lending me the money, but when I asked for help (very early on when I knew we were running into trouble) they didnt want to know, they carried on charging me which escalated the problem, once I had a total of £525.00 charges in just one day!! In one tax year I had over £8000.00 in charges and ended up losing my business and more importantly my house. Even if I can not claim anything back, I hope that everyone else carries on doing it to teach the banks a lesson!!!

Is being a farm defined by state law or federal law ? Does being a farm relate to what percent of your surface land is covered, or does it relate to the absolute dollars of produce grown ? What are the primary tax and "subsidy" benefits of having a small farm ?

Long story short, I picked up some undocumented workers to work on a deck. They did a great job. I agreed to pay $100 dollars. They then at the end of the job asked for payment. I asked to see their SSN, so I could report this information to the IRS. They said they didn't have one. I told them that I couldn't pay them without documentation. They became upset and yelled out RAWYER, which I think they meant lawyer. I threw them out of my house. If they come back, can I just give them a set of used clothes and tell them the debt has been paid?

My wife and I are going through a rough time. She insists that we not file taxes together this year. I make a lot more money than she does and she is under the impression that she will receive more money back if she files alone as opposed to joint filing with myself. We have no kids.

(I know it's waaaay past tax season, but it's been a rough year)

I'm 28 live in Chicago, single, no kids - how do i find what tax braket I'm in. I'm trying to max out my 401k to get bumped down on the tax bracket but don't know where I even sit. 2) If i get a second job I take it that will contribute to "how much i make" according to the IRS?

thanks

I'm in San Fran. Unless you're 55 or a vet, or disabled, you're house tax rises. 10 years ago it was $2,300 a year, now it's $3,400/year. I'll be paying $5,500 by the time I'm a senior. Aarghh!! My senior father was also on the title. After he was deceased, I removed him from the title (bad idea?) Well, I guess that's moot now. BUT - It's a bit of an economic struggle. Is there something I could do? Thanks for any advice

Do Immigrants in the U.S. pay higher taxes than citizens of the U.S. do?

By immigrants, I mean people who are legally in the U.S. on visas, and people who have green cards. Basically, anyone who is not illegal, and who is not a citizen.

thanks

This organization is a temporary one... plan on serving an immediate need and then we will close w/in a year. Do we still have to file papers for tax exemption?

1. If I use my business accounts for business expenses and personal expenses, do I just itemize what I've used for my business and the end of the year?

2. If I go out to breakfast, lunch or dinner to discuss my business (i.e. business meeting) with my spouse, whom is also involved in my business, can I write that off?

3. Can I write-off part of my mortgage (the room that is dedicated as an office)?

4. If I have a gas business credit card and I use it to fill out my car for the week, but I only travel 30 miles or so for business meetings, do I only write-off that 30 miles or how does that work?

5. Do you REALLY get a lot of money back at the end of the year for having a business? I probably won't make $400 this year because I just started several months ago. How does that work?

Upon hiring me, my employer did not have me fill out an I-9 or a W-4. Come tax time I did receive a W-2, and had no complications with filing my taxes. I did however ask my employer to increase my withholdings and I was told that couldn't be done because tax matters were handled by an accountant. It is my understanding that an individual can have as much or as little taxes withheld from their pay as long as they square things up come tax season. I was also under the impression that employers are required to file I-9s and W-4s for each employee. Are there any situations in which this is not the case? It is a small company with less than 15 employees. Could my suspicions regarding the possible employment of illegal immigrants have something to do with this? Thanks Tax Pros!!
