For a school project I have to write a pursuasive essay about my views on taxes. It would really benefit me if I could get a few oppinions because I really am no tax expert. If you decide to help thanks!

I started a new job in August of 2006. I am still waiting on my W2 from my old employer and it'll probably be a while before I get it. Do I HAVE TO wait on that W2 to file or can I file one now and the other when I get it?

Last year, I won $2,000 from an online contest with no entry fee. I don't know that it can technically be considered gambling income, since I didn't put up any money myself. I use form 1040A and do not itemize. Where do I include this income, if at all, and do I need to attach another form, and if so, what is the specific form? 1099-what?

I am under the impression that no such law exists, but I would love for you to prove me wrong. So, I challenge you to find for me the written law stating that an American must pay a Federal Income Tax.

I e-filed on Feb. 3. On Tuesday the "Where's my refund" said they were processing my return and if no mistakes we would receive it by Feb 20. How long does it usually take before it informs me they have accepted my return? Also my tax preparer told me it would deposit on the 16. Which is correct?

So, I'm not looking for specific tax advice because I've already filed my 2006 taxes.

But I'm still left with wondering what the answer is to this question.

We received a refund in 2006 from our 2005 taxes. Now, when filing our 2006 taxes, we're supposed to declare the refund as taxable income.

Why is that? It seems like it's double taxation. (I realize that double taxation happens all the time...look at the death tax!) But still, can anyone explain this to me? Please cite your sources. Thank you.

I help people for free who don't know how to do their taxes. This person works all year in the trades, he is not highly educated and I have reason to know he has little in the way of material possesions and he works all the time? If he is being victimized, does he have to be the one to complain?

My brother is able to deduct the interest he pays on his farm equipment, and I'm able to deduct the interest I pay on a student loan... so I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible (or legal) to deduct the interest paid on an auto loan come tax time?

My boyfriend and his ex have a signed legal document by their lawyer saying that in even years he claims her, on odd years she does. She is always broke and decided she wanted to go ahead and claim her this year. She already has her refund and went and bought a new tv with it. He has legal documentation saying it is his year to claim her. I've heard once he sends in his taxes along with the letter proving it is his year to claim her, she will have to repay the money she was refunded for her, and if this is not possible, could serve jail time. Anybody know anything more about this??

I dont understand why if I claim one all year long, when it comes time to file my federal taxes, why do I owe? Shouldnt it be if you claim one all year, when you file your taxes you should atleast break even? I owe money! However, I get money back from state. I dont understand!
