United States - August 2007

I need help! I forgot to mail my 2005 LA state taxes, now they want 5 times the amount in fees and fines. I am ready to pay what I owed in tax, but not all those fees and fines. What can I do??
Thanks for you help!

Someone told me to save them anyway, just in case. Well i've been saving them for 4 yrs. I have alot of them now. I honestly just feel like shreding them. I dont see the point of keeping them, thats why i do my taxes. I'm not the type of person that keep every single receipt, I only keep what I think necessary. any suggestions?

Thank you guys :)

Where is this supposed law that tells us we must pay taxes? I still haven't found one myself.

1. Can I deduct the cost of replacing windows on my home? Isn't there an energy related tax deduction? Can I deduct the cost of widows and labor? What about state taxes in Oregon?

2. Can education expenses be deducted when I am sending my four year old to private kindergarden?

Thanks!

For about a month, my friend has been watching my baby for 30 hours a week. I pay her around $325.00 each week. We haven't been keeping track or receipts and I have recently learned of a daycare refund on the annual taxes. Can I qualify for this refund? (forgive me,, when it comes to taxes.. i am hopeless). What do I need to do to ensure this refund? Are handwritten receipts on her behalf eligible? What must she do on her end? Thanks!

In accordance with the usual IRS travel/meals/ent rules, of course. Are these deductible this year even if I buy next year? What if circumstances change and I don't buy at all? I've heard that if I don't buy, not deductible; if I do, must be added to basis, not deducted. On the other hand, another person doing the same thing was told by his accountant to form an 'investment' corp. and write off all his real estate searching travel within that corp. (hopefully, he is not planning to tell this guy to buy the real estate in the corp, but if he isn't then the tax write offs for the corp don't seem that legit.). Thoughts? Thanks.

What are the advantages to the filler to show the non taxable combat pay? Or is it better not to? The EZ form also says that all i do is put EIC under line 8a and then write the amount under 8b, is this correct?

have to claim it on your taxes at the end of the year? If you have already paid the taxes up front, it looks like you would not need to claim it again to pay MORE taxes.

Basically, I was given a car worth $15,000, which is not taxable because it is joint property of my parents (they are allowed to give just over $20k per year of shared, physical property to a child, tax-free). I will count the sale price on the title transfer as $1. If I sell it next year, say for a $13k profit, will this add $13k to my taxable income?

Someone I know (yes, it really is someone else) has had tax withheld from his paycheck for the last ten years, but hasn't filed a return for any of those years. Any advice on what he should do? I told him to go to the IRS and file - but now I'm wondering if I gave him good advice. Should a criminal lawyer handle this?

My co-worker and I were faxing documents, we were standing next to the printer and we saw that our boss had printed out a letter. I didn't want to be nosy, so I didn't read it...but I was able to read that he was filing for bankruptcy. My boss hasn't said anything to us but I'm getting paranoid. Does this mean I should start looking for a new job??? I've been working for my boss for 3 months. The last boss I had let me go because he couldn't pay me anymore. He had too many lawsuits( he's a doctor)

So now I'm worried about this new boss. Should I worry??? should I start looking for a new job??

My husband is American, I am Canadian, and we live in Canada. If he buys a lottery ticket in Canada and wins a large sum of money, does he have to submit a form to the IRS declaring this?

I know a little about US tax laws but have not been able to find the answer to this specific question. I know that lottery winnings are considered "unearned income" and that if he were in the US, he would have to declare his winnings and be taxed on it. I also know that he has to declare his regular earnings while in Canada however, I could not find any information on whether or not foreign lottery winnings have to be declared.

I've been unemployed since April 2007. I asked some of my friends & some of them said I still file taxes & the rest aren't so sure.

When I filed my taxes this year, I was employed. But next year if I still don't have a job, do I still file?

I am thinking about getting an apartment and friends are telling me that the rent I pay cannot be claimed as expenses on my income tax. Is this true? I was always under the impression if the landlord claims my rent as income then I'm in the clear to claim it as an expense.

I live in the USA in Florida BTW.
