I have a dual citizenship and after graduating from a U.S. school, I was offered a job by a foreign company to work in that country (the one that I am also a citizen of). The job started in Aug. and I had not worked (and therefore no income) before that. I don't know how long I will work for the company but I'm pretty sure that I will not return to work in the U.S. in the foreseeable future. I do not have income earned in the U.S. and have no residence in the U.S. either. All the income comes when I'm abroad, but I'll only be here for 8-9 months (and only 5/12 of this tax year) when I file the tax return next year, so will I be eligible for the foreign earned income exclusion next year? And if not, will I get tax refunds the year after that when I will probably have worked abroad for over 16 months and will definitely have no problem claiming the exclusion?

I moved to Texas after living in California for the last 11 years, and I plan to sell some stocks which I accumulated in California. Now that I live in Texas, do I have to pay income tax on the profits from those stocks to California even though I will not be a current California resident?

My dad is going to help me pay off my car and give me down payment money for new house totaling $25,000. I will repay half this amount a little at a time. He was going to give me a cashiers check and let me spend it but I'm afraid there will be tax implications. I live in New Mexico. I thought that maybe he could just write the check for the car and give me a smaller amount in cash or smaller gifts separately. What are the rules? Also I will eventually inherit money for the sale of his land that is getting paid monthly through escrow. Is there a way to avoid losing inheritance this way? He currently lives off this money. Thanks for the advice.

Husband and wife have filed jointly for years. Husband took off one day and has been living with his parents somewhere in Europe. He has made no contact with his wife in over a year. So, when the wife files her taxes this next year, would she file 'married filing separately' since they are still married? Also, should it be of any concern to her, or will it come back on her if he doesn't file any tax return?

We purchased our home in Ada County, Idaho November 2006 and lived in the home. My husband received orders and for the Army to move to Alabama for over a year. He left the end of February, 2007. I stayed in the home until the middle of June 2007. From the end of June 2007 to present we have been receiving rent for our home that is significantly less than the mortgage payment. If we decide to sell the home without using an agent, will we need to pay any taxes for the gains? We expect to receive approximately $20-25k more than we paid due to the extras we added.

Are there any exemptions from Capital Gains due to military move? What if we purchase another less expensive home, but put the gains into other debt?

Your responses are appreciated.

I switched my tax papers at work so I was exempt. I needed the extra money for tuition. At the time, I was told I could switch it back for the following paycheck. I went to switch it back today and the lady in charge said that from now on they can only change it twice a year, July and January. I don't want to have to pay a lot in taxes, is there any law or anything about this? And if it really isnt possible to change, if I take the money that would have been taken out and save it in an account, will that be about how much I will owe in taxes???? I can't afford to pay a ton in taxes, please help!

I recently took a supervisor position in which I was offered $30/hr. I was not told until after I started that it would be a salaried position and given a letter to sign ( I have yet to sign it ) that stated my income would be 62, 400/hr. I do have to clock in and out like everyone else and today was told it was expected it work 45 hours a week! This works out to just over $26/hr according to my calculation. I hate to cause problems this early in the game (I'm on my second week!!) but I feel I've been completely mislead and being taken advantage of. The original amount made sense with a 40 work week but I wouldn't have taken the job had I known it would be a salaried position in the first place. What's my question? Do I make sense here? Do I have the math right???

Can you go to jail for two years ago claiming someone elses kid on your taxes and you don't remember their name and now that person is being asked did you claim anyone for that year. The kid's aunt wanted my friend to claim the kid on his taxes and give her the money. Now he is screwed cuz he can't remember the kids name it was in another state and if it shows up that he did claim this kid on his taxes and he is saying he didn't wow would that be fraud?

Is there anything they can't take or do? I have a friend you had a contract job and they only took out state and she didn't know that. Now she's in debt for 6k. Do they look at your assets or just make up a payment shedule based on a salary she can hardly live on now? Is it better to ignore it and figure she's better off not getting involved with them?

Situation: A boyfriend and girlfriend have been living together for less than one year. The two children do not belong to the boyfriend. They are the girlfriend's children. When it was time to file for '06, the boyfriend claimed both of the children (with gf's permission) on his tax form. Is this legal? Do you know anyone who has done this & then the IRS wanted the BIG refund back?? Is there a website that would say if this is legal? I searched on the IRS website but did not see anything. Thanks for your help!
