United States - February 2007

I just got married in november, we are filing our taxes together. How much money do you usually get for filing jointly. We have no children, no child support. I work full time and he is a full time college student, a veteran taking advantage of his GI bill. so I just want a roundabout of how much money you get for filing married and jointly.

my wife has all the legality's changed: her social security card; legal name; etc. the only problem is she has not changed her name with her employer- and her w2's came back as her maiden name.... will this create a problem during tax filing? or should i not be panicking about it as much as i am?

My ex-wife and I have been separated for over two year. Before we seperated we had an agreement drawn up that stated that we would each claim one of the children on our taxes. However, she never signed the agreement. The children live with her about 70% of the time. I pay child support which amounts to more than she makes, so obviously I am providing more that half of their support. The information that I find is since they live with her more than 50% of the time, then I can't claim them no matter how much support I give.

I'm trying to play it fair and save with uncle sam. I have a 15 month old daughter that usually goes to two older citizen that i know. One is a member of my church. And the other is just a friend of my grandparents. The problem both of them are from another country and neither of them have a social security number. I paid over a total of $4000 dollars in babysitting charges last year, but all of it was in cash and no record of payment. Is there a way i can get child credit or any sort of deductions for this expenses.

Please advise
Thanks

Basically I am looking for areas to retire in where I can buy land and build a nice home without being subject to exorbitant property taxes on my land and home every year for the rest of my life.

My refund is being held for review, along with many others. I'm trying to be proactive because I have a feeling that my refund will be delayed, especially if they go over it with a fine tooth comb. I claim my sister, we are 20 years apart, and her father owes the IRS like 30,000.

I don't have a birth certificate or a social security card for her. I'm in the process of trying to get both, they have always gave me such a hard time. The only thing that I do have is a vague court order that I have permanent custody as of August 2002. She was placed with me thru the state due to abuse and neglect. I claimed her as a foster child for 2000, 2001 and sister for the other years. Actually I ammended 2000 and 2001 because I did not realize that I could claim her. I recieved an EIC and interest for those years. I won the lottery in 2002, so I didn't get an EIC, but did for 03,04,05.

If they need more information, is it only for this year??

I've heard 100 different stories about why they are taking so long.... New deductions, EIC claims, and even the IRS being over worked! I think that they should have had this figured out before Jan.12! What do they do for the rest of the year anyway? I need some ease because I've had it with them! HELP!

We bought a house in June of last year. As a result of buying this house, we had to purchase a refrigerator, washer and dryer as well as a few other minor things like light bulbs. We also had to have repairs done to the plumbing to make it liveable. Are any of these expenses deductible on our federal tax return? I know we can deduct mortgage interest and property taxes, I'm just wondering about the other stuff since they were necessary expenses.

My husband and I were expecting a certain amount and we got almost a $1000 less than we were supposed to.
We have not received any letters stating that any government agency was owed money by us. I was overpaid last year for my Montgomery GI Bill, but I received a letter and knew that it was going to be deducted. This year, we had no such problem but a large amount has been deducted.
I called our bank, they said they just deposit what they get. I called the IRS and he said that the correct amount was sent out to our bank. So who the hell will know what happened to this missing money? We filed by Turbotax like we always do and everything was always smooth. What's going on this year?
My husband did the "Where's my refund" thing that is on the IRS website and it mentioned something about Tax Topic 203-Failure to Pay Child Support, Federal Non Tax and State Income Tax Obligations...
The IRS person on the phone did not mention this, and my husband does not have any other children....

I would want to deposit about 2.5K. But my question is, can I deduct those 2.5K from my income thus incurring in less tax (i.e. before-tax savings)? I was told that since my company has a 401K plan my only option was a ROTH IRA (after-tax savings) whether or not I took advantage of the 401K program that year. I live in the state of Washington and I plan on using the 401K starting this year (I would then have to open a ROTH IRA anyway)

Also, if you could point me to any resources that could help me file my taxes on my own that would be lovely (It's my first time and I know I'll need to itemize since I have a mortgage and I have bough some stock as well).

Thanks!
