ok here goes... last year we filed married filing jointly and we had 1 child. i made about 6000 and he made about 20000, we got the EITC and the child tax credit... this year i made less than 5000 and he made about 20000 again. we still have just the one child who is 2 years old now. we have a new car if that makes a difference its a 2006 saturn ion that we make payments on....
basically im trying to figure out what tax credits and such we should file to get the biggest return...can my hubby claim me as a dependent since i made less than 5000? if so would i still file my income? ...please help, i know i can look on tax prep sites and irs.gov, but im 20 years old and understand NONE OF THIS!

can you tell me what other credits and such we may qualifie for (on h&r block, it says some credits like the "aditional child tax credit" , and a few other onse that i dont remember, that it seems like were eligble, but last year we didnt recieve....

ok...thank you....

1) A Tax Preparer like H & R Block
2) Online Service
3) Computer Software
4) Snail mail (paper method)
5) Accountant
6) Does not apply

I personally prefer to have H&R Block prepare it for us cause I'm afraid I'll mess something up. I don't like the fee's they charge though and thought of filing taxes through Turbo Tax but have never used that software before if anyone has good results with it?

I've just separated from the Army where they do your taxes for you which means that I don't have a clue how to do it on my own. I am married, have a child, do not own a home but I do have investments. I know that I'll have a large refund (child tax credit, earned income credit etc...) because soldiers don't make a lot of money. I am quite computer literate. My question is, how easy is the H&R Block software to use and does it do a good job of finding everything we are entitled to? Is an H&R Block office better than the software and worth the higher cost? Lastly, how much (ballpark) does the office cost? They aren't giving me a clear idea. I'm not considering a CPA due to cost and simplicity of my tax situation.

I was efiling but AL will not let me efile my nonresident (we are military family) forms. Printed them to send in, however, noticed my dependents were not listed on the AL form. Since they are on the AZ form, is there something that says I can't claim them for both states. I don't understand why I can't (but lotta tax things i dont understand, lol) Need to know if I should write them in and refigure my form before sending. Thanks!

I'm wondering how someone who had like 1500 dollars in federal tax withheld can receive 3300 dollars for a dependent. Does the government give you more then they take?

My Mother told me that if my tax refund was too large, the IRS would charge a penalty. I have never heard of such a thing, and she had no idea what that threshold was. Any ideas?

I have heard that it is against the law to not give your employees thier W2's by the end of January...is this correct?? If not what is the latest that a bussiness can hand out its employees W2's?

2007-01-19 14:15:31 · 5 answers · asked by George 1

I was employed last year by a family owned bussiness. When I was first hired I was told that the first three months I would not have taxes taken from my check. After the three months, once she decided to keep me on the payroll, she would then have me fill out paperwork and begin to deduct taxes from my paychecks. She never did start taking taxes from me. Now it is tax time and I am not too sure what to do. She has not brought up anything about giving me a W2 or anything regarding taxes. If she does give me a W2 it will hurt me serverely because I will end up owing Uncle Sam. When I spoke to my in laws about this I was told that in order for her to get a tax break she has to claim that she payed an employee, therefore she will most likely want to give me a W2. My question is that doesn't she legally have to not only give the goverment some of my pay in the form or taxes but also match the money that is pulled from my paycheck for my social security?
