United States - April 2007

OK...Yes I'm a complete idiot! I've had my taxes done for about a month and a half. I just saw that commercial on tv that reminds you that taxes are due in a week. I went to sign them and now I can't find them anywhere! My fiance and I have looked everywhere and they nowhere to be found. I did them using tubotax and can surely reprint them but what do I do about my W2? I will be getting a refund so I don't owe anything.
I'll keep feverishly looking but I'm praying they didn't somehow get thrown out.
I just need to know what I do next if I can't locate them before the deadline.
Thanks soooo much!

For many reasons I owe the IRS about 14,000 dollars. I have about a whopping 18,000 dollars in my 401k. I keep trying to pay the IRS, I can't pay enough for it to make a dent. Please, any suggestions, any IRS agents out there?:)

I am married. My W2 shows "single" for marital status and my wife's says "married". We claim federal and state exemptions/allowances of 1/0. I noticed that my withholding is about 18% of my income afer reductions, while hers is about 11%. Because of this, we owe taxes on this years tax return. Is she supposed to fill out her W4 saying "single"?

My wife has a sole proprietorship and did some work for a company that cut a check to her in December, but which was not received until January 2007. She is using cash accounting and considers this money recevied in 2007. However, the 1099-MISC indicates it was income paid in 2006.

I'm trying to do the taxes and her QuickBooks indicates this is not taxible for 2006 (since the money wasn't received until 2007). But the 1099-misc says otherwise. What should I do - either
(a) change her books to indicate it was received in 2006
(b) ask the company to reissue (or retract somehow) the 2006 1099-misc
(c) don't include the 1099-misc in the return and wait for the IRS to ask me about it, or
(d) something else I haven't thought of?

Thanks for your help.

I hear so much about how you won't have enough to itemize to overcome the standard deduction if you don't own a home.

However, I paid almost $4000 in state taxes in 2006, which is close to my standard deduction of $5150 (single). I've heard that you can itemize state taxes. Does that mean many people can have enough to itemize (using their state taxes) without owning a home?

During the previous tax period I went from being a full-time student/dependent to niether. I quit the job that I was at when I filed for exempt. When I started the new job I was no longer either of the previous status' that qualified me for tax exempt. So that job pulled out taxes.

Do I still have to pay the taxes that i was originally exempt from (1st Job) when I file my taxes even though I was exempt at the time the were taken?

Can I receive tax benefits on home improvement or do I only receive these benefits once I sell? Also, if I sell prior to the required 2 years for the capital gains tax benefit, do they prorate for the time l lived in the property, or is it 'all or none'?

My husband has left the country and earns a lot of money abroad. He doesn't give me a penny. I am earning nothing yet, but trying to find work. He left a year ago and hasn't earned anything in America during that time.
Should I file taxes with him or without him? I have children living with me, he pays no child support.
I am worried I will get audited for this big round zero, not that I'm doing anything wrong. I'm not sure if he is though because he earns so much in Canada but is planning to declare zero taxes in America. Should I file separately? Is it better with impending divorce to file together before I start divorce proceedings?

I won a huge sum in prize winings. Now it is income tax time. The forms state I can claim gambling losses equal to the amount I won. Do I need to show I have gambling losses. I won this in late fall. I never expected to win, anything, so I never kept my lossing tickets. If I keep losing tickets this year can I claim them next year, for this years big win?

I purchased the H&R Block tax software from best buy for about $25 bucks. I have entered in the information from my W-2's plus my 1099-misc(they suck). When I finished it told me that I had 0 errors on my return but 4 warnings. I viewed the warnings and I know that they are correct. I am 22 years old and claiming myself as independent(nobody else is claiming me). So now I am about to e-file my work but I just want to know that it is 100% correct. I have double checked my work, but I worry that I might get an audit from the IRS. If I typed something in wrong can I get into some serious trouble? I made only $12,000 last year from working part-time while going to school (big props to the hope learning credit!)

But like i said, I worry that I might get audited, but with this software, will it make sure I didn't put in anything too strange?

I just got my tax ID through here:

So a 'sales tax ID' is the same thing as a tax ID, right?

I am 44 and have been unemployed for the calendar years '05 and '06 and had no earned income. I had to to withdraw all of my pension money to keep up with my living expenses. At year end for '05 and '06, I received 1099's for my pension distribution which showed the gross distribution plus the amount of tax withheld. Also, my father, who is retired, can claim me as a dependent on his return. He helped pay for all of my living expenses and my mortgage. I have not filed for those respective years. Do I need to file a return? Finally, there was approx $2500 in taxes withheld on those 1099's as a result of the pension distribution. Should I file anyway to get a refund even if I don't have to file?
