Taxes - November 2007

I am seperated and want to file joint tax return, if the wife and I do this how do we split the return check, can it be sent to a tax office and than split there, this would stop any problems with one not getting paid, or would it?

I currently claim Single-1 on my W-4. I was told I could change to Single-4 or Single-5... how do I figure out what to claim?

Theory I was told... get more money back to equalize refunds due to owning a home so I get close to a 0 refund/owe at the end of the year. (Thats what I currently due with Single-1)

thanks!

Can I claim my cousin kids as dependents on my 2007 taxes? My cousin is married but had a love affair with another woman for 7 years. He had two kids by this woman. His wife didn’t know anything about it. The other women died a year and a half ago. My cousin brought his kids over to his mom’s house to hide them out until he could break the news to his wife. For what ever reason he didn’t want his kids over at his moms house anymore so he asked me if they could stay at my house for a few months until he got this whole thing sorted out. He told his wife but she doesn’t want anything to do with the two kids. The two kids have been at my house since October 2006. My cousin lost his job in November 2006 and can’t seem to find a new job. My cousin lives with his wife and his two kids from the other women live with me. My cousin is OK with me using them on my taxes if it is legal. The two kids get SSI because of there mothers death. My cousin gets the check each month.

For example, if I started a job where the dress code is business professonal, and I had to buy new clothes, is that something that I can be reimbursed for?


To give you a little background info, I'm 19 years old with no dependants, I'm not a student, and I live at my mom's house.


What are some other examples of things I should bring up at tax return time?

I am going to be working for a company but they want me to be on a self employed basis. I will have to travel 25 miles per day, in total, to and from the office-am I right in thinking that I will be able to claim 40p per mile on my tax return? I will only be working part time (15 hours a week -3 hours a day) I will be paid £9 per hour..so by my calculations I will need to deduct £50 a week for travel expenses - leaving me with £85 profit. Is this right as it seems that I will probably have no tax to pay as I'm allowed more than this amounts to on my tax code?

It used to be that if you earned under $600, an employer did not need to file a W-2. Is there still an amount like that? If so, what is the current amount, and what IRS document would contain that information

My nephew wants to earn some money through either a cafepress account or by selling Google ads on his blog. He is currently fifteen years old. If he does this, does that mean he has to file for income tax? Also, what is the age and/or amount of income "line" that decides when one needs to begin filing income tax?

It baffles me that just because you don't make a lot of money and happen to have a kid, the government can actually pay you! I can see giving people a break and lowering the taxable percentage to little to nothing, but PAYING them to be poor? No thanks.
I do not have kids, but I am married.
I am against married couples getting a tax break as well.
Another interesting element--I am a registered Republican, and am generally opposed to high taxes as a whole.
But rewarding people for having children they cannot afford seems a little ridiculous.
Let the roasting begin.

A friend of mine said if I make a certain amount of income selling on Etsy.com I have to pay taxes on it. Is this true, and if so, what kind of taxes would I be paying, and how much? Also, would your age matter, for instance, if you were under 18 would you be charged special taxes?
