Taxes - December 2007

I am planning to go on vacation and found that buying airfare ticket through a nonprofit organization is tax deductible. the organization does not sell the ticket but they partner with a traveling agency to raise funds for their cause. so what does the cost of the ticket mean? i travel for free or what?

I bought a house last year and have put over 12,000 in repairs into it all ready. Is any of this tax deductible? I know the interest in my mortgage is, but I keep hearing mixed advice on whether the repairs are deductible.
I've saved every receipt for repairs, roof, front door, new fence, etc.
Any CPA's that can advise? or Tax professionals?

I have NO plans on using either in the future. Why do I have to pay into it? (I'm retiring overseas) How do I NOT pay into it? Why should I pay out of my money to support others who don't know how to support themselves?

I've read about it a little online but wanted some thoughts from people who have actually taken the tax break. The amount of the tax break is not actually the amount you get back, correct?

when they come to the USA? One of our contributors suggest this is the case. I find that hard to believe. Is this true? Our government, as googy as they are, can't possibly know that people are here illegally, and then give them a SS# and tax them without repayment or credit or service of those monies paid? Or can they?
Seems to me the taxes that are paid are more likely paid against fraudulent, stolen or forged SS# that belong to American citizens. Anyone know?

I was engaged and he cheated on me. Now I need some advice. I bought a house last August. The house and all bills are in my name only. His (ex-fi's) dad did give us money to help with a downpayment, (about 6k) but he signed one of those gift forms, saying that it was a gift to me (FI never mentioned)., and that it was a gift with no strings attached and that it is not expected that I pay him back. We had to submit this form to the mortgage broker. The monthly payment is taken out of a joint account. (I think I am going to change this and have it taken out of a account that only I have). Does fi have any right to the house, because everything is only in my name? I am 100% sure that his name is not on anything. He has very bad credit. He thinks he has rights, I of course say no because his name is not on anything. I am not sure if anyone was ever in a situatioon like this. We are NOT married, and each of us made deposits into this joint account to pay all HH bills, as well as any bills FI had (his carpayment, student loans) Whle I kept a different account to pay my bills (CC, cell phone ect).

I dont think that the property is considered marital property, because we are not married, and in my state there is no common law marriage. I view what he has paid toward the bills, as his rent and living expenses (his rent was more then what is had paid toward the mortgage). Additioanlly, he has some anger issues and have done some damage to the house- drywall holes and dents, also he has broken a door frame, while busting it open becuase I liked myself in the bedroom to get away from him. I would guess the dame he did will cost at least 4k to fix (have to repaint walls, and get a new door frame).

If he would have rights, does that mean that he has to still pay all bills? My though proscess is that because my name is on everything he has the right to pick up and leave at anytime, and I would have no right to go after him for utilities or "rent". Give your honest opinions, I live in Pa, if that helps.

When I asked my employer if she was I was getting paid as if I were single with out dependents she said well do you have someone who does your taxes? I did not understand why she asked and said yes. Then she said thats where I claim my dependents. I do not think she understands that the more dependents the less money I will get withheld. I am in a small dental office that is new and just opening. The doctor pays with her own checks but on a sheet of paper marks the percentage of all my deductions. It is her first time being an employer, her first time opening and running her own business.

My question is how I explain to her that I want to get paid as if I had two dependents. I have two children. I get so much taxes taken off I need to either get another job or replace that one.

I know you have to fill out all that stuff and everything, but after all that.. when are they usually sent out and stuff? Usually the end/beginning of the year, right?

Please, don't be a rude moron and try to make me feel dumb.

My wife and I are seperated, if we file joint the amout would be larger than if we each file single, but we would have to split it. So if I file single would I get more back than the amount I would get when the joint return is split?

Can I use my bank statements in lieu of actual receipts from a particular company for tax filing purposes? The statements the company has in print is less than what they actually deducted from my business checking account. Also if I can use my bank statement then I no longer have to print 12 monthly invoices from all my reoccurring business expense. Can an accountant or someone shed some light on this for me please?

I am interested in doing people's taxes. Right now I am 16 years old, but I am looking forward to next tax season. Even if I cant do it now, what are the steps to becoming a tax preparer? I am looking at learning at a retail chain, such as H&R Block or Jackson Hewitt. I want to freelance work too.
