United States - February 2007

For example, say my wife is stressing out over current problems and I send her back to her home country for a month, so that she can relieve tension by spending time with family and such. Can the expenses incurred be considered as a deduction, perchance being listed under medical since this was done for a theraputic reason?

I am a former employee of Firestone International. For banking purpose I was issued a US Social Security Number. I am no longer with Firestone and the account has been closed since 1989. An organization interested in my services wants me to process an IRS for task purposes. But someone in the possession of a social security number (SSN) is not allowed to process an IRS individual tax payer identification number (ITIN). I no longer know my SSN. I am an alien and have never entered US soil. I am presently residing in the Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire). What should I do?

The reason for filing seperately is: our incomes together is too much ($150,000) to qualify for the $25,000 real estate losses, and student loan interest of $8000. If we file seperate returns will would qualify for the tax breaks noted above.

A person sold his residential property and purchased another under construction with more value jointly with his children. The person keeps himself as the first person and children the second and third. A part of the deal is shared by the children. Any Income Tax complication in this connection.

It's tax season, so I thought I'd post a question on tax returns. I have been married to my military husband for almost 20 months. I just got my first social security number this week. I have a couple of questions so please help me out.


1. Can he claim me as his dependent (I don't work), even if I just got my ssn? If so, how much will he get for one dependent? That will just be me though, since we don't have any kids yet.

2. He was deployed for much of 2006, and his paychecks were tax-free. Does that mean he's not getting anything at all?


I'd appreciate all advice.
Thanks!

Got my 1098-t back, I have about 400 bucks in T&fees. Parents combined income is over 110,000 and they claim me as dependent. I can't use the Hope Credit because it's not my first two years of school but if they claim tuition and fees and/or Lifetime learning how much are they going to save or "get back"? Will they save anything? Is it really worth it?

She is a teacher and is enrolled in a plan that takes out a mandatory amount each month. I don't know if it is an IRA, Roth or some other type. The W-2 form she receives had the "pension" box checked, and the pension is an approved IRS fund. I just don't know if contibutions are deductible or not.

I don't have any 1099 misc forms. I'm new to this whole thing. I didn't pay quarterly taxes. I have 2 kids, college expenses to deduct, loss from stock that I owned for a couple of months, and I didn't make more than 10k for the year. Am I going to get in trouble??

I'm about to start making some extra income as a guide on ChaCha.com. I'll have to deduct taxes myself though, which is something I know nothing about. What exactly do I have to do? What exactly am I responsible for? I know I'll be receiving a 1099 for Federal, but I'm clueless about the rest. I would appreciate any help.

I'm 24 years old. My mom has been trying to get disability benefits from the goverment for some time. She's on HUD , Medicare/Medicad (I think it's both), and Food Stamps. Other than that, I give her money every week, so she has spending money abd gas to get around. I also pay her phone bill and her insurance. I've been wondering if I can file her as a dependant.

According to the worksheets and everything I've read, I can file her as one, but I'm not sure if it will affect her case (She won the case, recently, btw) I know she's not going to fine, since she has no income. I also have a fear that, if I get audited for some reason, I have no real proof that I do this, cept for recipts from the insurance company, since I give her all cash besides that.

Any advice would be helpful. I've never filed a dependant before.

I thought I'd try doing our taxes this year asked DH for his W-2 and he handed me a stack from 2000 - 2006 and told me the last time he filed was 1999! Looking the W-2's over noticed one year had $0 Fed tax withholding and the rest were only a little over $1000.00 in Fed withholdings. He makes between $30 - $46 a year. He then tells me he prefiled with his employer to go tax exempt for one year and the rest of the years as having 8 dependents when there's only DH, my son and I.

#1, DH says to do nothing until we can get a tax attorney.
I want to get these things filed ASAP and see where we stand.
Which would be best?

#2, I don't work DH wants to file Married filing jointly to try and get the most to offset his owed amount. My understanding is if we file jointly I become responsible for this as well. After years of this kind of crap, divorce is afloat and I don't want to be stuck with his idiots debt. Any advice?

The seller sold the house without the help of a realtor. Instead, an attorney was hired to draw up the paperwork. Isn't the attorney supposed to provide the seller with a 1099? What happens if it's not reported to Uncle Sam?
