Other - Taxes

I studied geology for a few years and know a geologist who is currently working in Antarctica. I also previously lived and worked overseas and know that for American expatriates, the first $70,000.00/yr is exempt from Federal income tax because expats are responsible for paying local taxes in a foreign country. From what he says, however, he must pay and said it was because per the United States Tax Code Antarctica is not a foreign country, therefore it is exempt from the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/international/article/0,,id=97130,00.html

Last I heard, Antarctica was not a part of the U.S. Do Russian, French or scientists from other countries who are working in Antarctica have to pay taxes to their homeland?

My boyfriend and his two children have been living with me in my house for all of 2007. He doesn’t work. Can I use his two children as dependents? If I can, how much more can I expect to get back in a tax refund. I make under 50,000.00 and have a small mortgage on my house. I think I paid about 4,500.00 in mortgage interest and about 1000.00 in property tax for 2007.

I am in college and need help economically. So I want to file a FAFSA to see if I can get any help. Would they help me if I never have to file taxes? I get paid in cash and therefore taxes are not reduced from my payment. So is there an alternative way to file for taxes?

For example, if I donate $1500 (cost) worth of items to a local high school, is that deductible as a charitable contribrution? (Are high schools "qualified charities"?)

I just think it makes more sense. People should be able to keep 100% of their pay check. We should replace the IRS with the Fair Tax.

I read that if you dont get a business license and you run an at home based business and your neighbors dont complain about your work, its unlikey the IRS will find out and make you pay a fee as well as put your business on hold until its done. Now, in the state of FL, if I chose to not get a license because the type of business (event planning) did not require one, would I still have to pay taxes?
