United States - December 2007

I paid a CPA $1500 retainer to handle my taxes. After two months, the guy did nothing. I asked for an itemized listing of what work he did on my file, and he did not have one. The guy had me fax duplicate documents over to him again and again. Finally, I called the IRS and handled the situation myself. It took two hours of my time.

Now, I want my $1500 back. I paid the CPA the money in advance. I think this is called "Unjust Enrichment." How can I get my money back?

I called the CPA to negotiate a deal to get my money back. He said, "Too bad, you signed a contract stating that the retainer was non-refundable." How can I get my money back?

I know it may sound od,but I'm not from USA and I just did as adviced....
Somebody told me that I shouldn't worry about doing the taxes,working as a dancer.
Now I've found out that it DID matter and I need to file my taxes,just like other people even though I work as a exotic dancer.
I would have been done it in the first place,but like I said...I'm not from here.
If I ask my supervisor for my past tax papers,are he gonna have the one from other past years as well?

When are the taxes due?



Thanks from someone who's trying to "clean up" her financials!

If the US wanted to finance the federal government entirely thru a carbon tax (or oil tax or gasoline tax), how high a tax rate would be needed to finance the government and replace the income tax and all other revenues? How much would that add to cost of a gallon of gasoline?

I need to borrow a large amount of money from a friend. Its greater than 12K but less than 100K. My generous friend has agreed this will be an interest-free loan and I plan on paying it back in less than a year. However I've read that the IRS will still imposed an applicable federal interest rate on my friend for lending me the money. Is there anyway he can avoid reporting the IRS imposed interest? Maybe report it as a gift?
We thought about not reporting anything to the IRS but we're afraid the IRS may catch wind of the large bank transaction and give us a big headache later. OR maybe they won't....
Does anyone have any prior experience? I would greatly appreciate it.

My wife and I have always claimed 0 dependants and gotten the maximum amount taken out of our checks every week. I recently realized that in essence, we've been giving the government interest free loans for years. I decided that I would rather claim 10 dependants and withhold NO taxes. If I instead invested that money into a secure high interest savings account (such as a 4.5% savings account) I could instead reap the benefits of my earned income, and pay Uncle Sam his due January of the following year. I also wouldn't have to worry about waiting for the inept IRS to give me my refund, as it would be on hand.

Well, someone informed me that this doesn't work. They said Uncle Sam feels like he should have his portion throughout the year, not at the end. So my question would be, is there any way to LEGALLY do this? If I have to file a W-4, is there a way to possibly pay quarterly, so that I can earn interest on it as long as possible, then turn it in at the last minute?

Thanks!

I know that the 16th authorizes the government to levy taxes on income, that is not the issue, the issue is that wages earned from working is not income, it is technically an equal exchange of capital for labor. This may seem inconsequential, but I wanted to know if anyone has evidence to the contrary. Peace.

Im the senator of NY in mock congress in my gov. class and im trying to create a bill that the tax cuts should be equal for everyone. Can someone help me learn more about this, if we make it equal for everyone, does that mean property tax goes up or sales tax?, what else should be taken into consideration? This is obviously a republican view and its just for my government class so don't get nasty please lol.

We were seperated the following tax year but not divorced, he was audited for filing single with 2 dependents. I filed with turbo tax and did the status and dependents according to how it guided me. Well it did not get into enough detail with turbo tax and it guided me wrong stating that he could file the kids on his taxes if they lived with him for 6 months out of the year. My two children are by someone else and he claims them every year with no problem. The IRS said that since they were not his blood relatives he could not claim them and now he is disqulified from the earned credit for 5 years. This coming January we have to file married joint and I was wondering if we would get the earned income tax for my kids even though he is disqualified.
