I earn less than ten thousand a year. We live in a mobile home that I bought and I buy the food and our clothes. He is disabled but going to school for retraining. He pays the utilities and has back child support that is being paid out of his check. Would it be good for me financially to claim him?

I feel really dumb to ask this, but I got a 1099-INT from the bank for him. He has a 90-Day add on certificate worth about $2500 right now and he earned $42 in interest last year. Do I have to file for him?

My husband and I were wondering how to file....jointly or seperatly. He claims married 0 and I claim married 1. Together we have 1 child and he has another from a previous relationship. We do not own our own home and do not have any stock, bonds, or IRA. Would it matter how we file? What would be the benifit of each of the filings?

My husband and I were in a debt settlement program. I am wondering if we'll have to claim this on our taxes? I know we'll have to claim it, but will we have to pay? This is what our debt program states on their website and what we were told by them:

Creditors are required to report canceled debts exceeding $600 to the IRS and you are supposed to report the same as income on your annual tax return. However, the IRS permits you to write off any “income” from canceled debts up to the amount by which you were “Insolvent” at the time. Therefore, unless you have a positive net worth, then you ordinarily will not be obligated to pay taxes on the forgiven amounts. Additionally, if you do not qualify as insolvent non principal amounts such as fees accumulated on the account may be deducted from the amount reported.

We've never had to pay but always received money back. Will this deduct from the money we should receive?

I'm not some koook that doesn't understand that our taxes pay for the roads and all public services and that it's really the cost of living in society. I don't think the government is evil. But I do think they are taking too much from me. I'm a single young man, making a good living, but they are just taking too much out of my paycheck.

I know I know, someone will say, "Vote Republican" . Well I probably need to, but isn't there something more I can do to get taxes lowered?

This is America right? The land of the people right? Where we all have a vote, and I know all of us would like the government to take less from us (except those that would like the government to give MORE to them! haha)

I know it isn't a simple issue but there must be something I can do to change the current tax rates.

Ok, so we are going to go do our tax returns, and I was just curious, I still owe money for my student loan ( I am not working but my husband is) I am way behind on paying the student loans and they told me that they could garnish my wages and take money from my tax returns. Will they take that money from my husband just because I am on his taxes? And another question if they ask me if I have a student loan and I say yes, are they going to grant me money to help pay them off, or are they going to take money from his taxes? Pretty much the same question but someone please help!
