United States - October 2007

I just started working for the first time since I graduated from college. I received my first paycheck, and the government took out almost $40. I'm single and only claim myself as a dependent. Is this normal?

Is being a farm defined by state law or federal law ? Does being a farm relate to what percent of your surface land is covered, or does it relate to the absolute dollars of produce grown ? What are the primary tax and "subsidy" benefits of having a small farm ?

Long story short, I picked up some undocumented workers to work on a deck. They did a great job. I agreed to pay $100 dollars. They then at the end of the job asked for payment. I asked to see their SSN, so I could report this information to the IRS. They said they didn't have one. I told them that I couldn't pay them without documentation. They became upset and yelled out RAWYER, which I think they meant lawyer. I threw them out of my house. If they come back, can I just give them a set of used clothes and tell them the debt has been paid?

I'm 28 live in Chicago, single, no kids - how do i find what tax braket I'm in. I'm trying to max out my 401k to get bumped down on the tax bracket but don't know where I even sit. 2) If i get a second job I take it that will contribute to "how much i make" according to the IRS?

thanks

I'm in San Fran. Unless you're 55 or a vet, or disabled, you're house tax rises. 10 years ago it was $2,300 a year, now it's $3,400/year. I'll be paying $5,500 by the time I'm a senior. Aarghh!! My senior father was also on the title. After he was deceased, I removed him from the title (bad idea?) Well, I guess that's moot now. BUT - It's a bit of an economic struggle. Is there something I could do? Thanks for any advice

I am the co-founder of a local nonprofit. Although we are registered with the state, have a tax ID number and have filed (approved) articles of incorporation we are not tax exempt. This organization is a temporary one... plan on serving an immediate need and then we will close w/in a year. Do we still have to file papers for tax exemption?

1. If I use my business accounts for business expenses and personal expenses, do I just itemize what I've used for my business and the end of the year?

2. If I go out to breakfast, lunch or dinner to discuss my business (i.e. business meeting) with my spouse, whom is also involved in my business, can I write that off?

3. Can I write-off part of my mortgage (the room that is dedicated as an office)?

4. If I have a gas business credit card and I use it to fill out my car for the week, but I only travel 30 miles or so for business meetings, do I only write-off that 30 miles or how does that work?

5. Do you REALLY get a lot of money back at the end of the year for having a business? I probably won't make $400 this year because I just started several months ago. How does that work?

Upon hiring me, my employer did not have me fill out an I-9 or a W-4. Come tax time I did receive a W-2, and had no complications with filing my taxes. I did however ask my employer to increase my withholdings and I was told that couldn't be done because tax matters were handled by an accountant. It is my understanding that an individual can have as much or as little taxes withheld from their pay as long as they square things up come tax season. I was also under the impression that employers are required to file I-9s and W-4s for each employee. Are there any situations in which this is not the case? It is a small company with less than 15 employees. Could my suspicions regarding the possible employment of illegal immigrants have something to do with this? Thanks Tax Pros!!

Unfortunately my wife and I lost our twins this year. They were both born and later died the same day. Someone told me that you can claim them as dependants for the year... and without sounding insensitive, I was wondering if this was true. There are birth and death records, as well as social security #'s. Thanks for everyones time!

So.. Buying a house and i've never paid property taxes before. I'm curious, are property taxes generally paid before the tax period or after the tax period?

In other words, we pay taxes twice a year here in november and april. When you pay say on November 1st, are you paying for the period of April - November or the period of November - April? Or is this dependent on area? This is in CA if that matters.

I would like to know why the government do not allow tax deduction or tax credit for those paying child support, But on the other hand gives a child tax credit to the custiodal parent? I think child support was just a way to correct a government policy that went wrong. You promises theses single mothers theses government programs and now that the government can not afford it, lets deduct the standard of living for some else. That is probably the reason we are continuing to have the pro-life versus the pro-choice debate, because some appointed officals decided on a social policy that was taken out of the democratic processes. Also, why is child support gender base? Why do a judge makes the assumption that it is in the best interest of the child to be with the mother, where was this research perform to give this basis? Also, where in the constitution that gives the government the right to throw you in jail if you can not pay a debt, that is not a tax? Just my opinion.
