United States - December 2007

I started this new job about a month ago. They told me to bring in my id and social security card, But they never took it or allowed me to fill out my tax info. They have been taking almost a hundred dollars from my check and they have me down as filling single but I never did that. How can they assume how much taxes to take from ones check. I never gave them as much as my id or social security info. It's as if I don't even exsist with this major company.....My question is, is this legal!

I don't know much about taxes. Does it depend on what state you live in?

For US Taxes:

I've got a stock I've held less than a year that I'm thinking about dumping. I've also got some realized long terms capital gains this year.

If I sell the stock this year, can I use the short term loss to offset either regular income or the capital gains? I'll be in the 25% bracket. Would it be wise to do so?

I know the clothes that are used on a daily basis cannot be used as a tax write off, but could a tux be used as one since it is used primarily for professional purposes.

I had to move from one state to another. I have been trying to sell my old house for about a year. Finally I am going to have to do a short sell (I have a couple offers to pay less than what I owe on the home). I should probably get some money back on my tax returns and would like to use it to pay off the large credit card balances I have acquired over this period of time. Can the mortgage company seize any returns I may get because I am having to do a short sell?

Me and my husband want to buy an apartment or house in miami. We have a budget of 200,000. But i'm trying to factor in property tax and i'm confused.

So if we buy a 200K flat, we get taxed on the 200K. But if miami prices go up the following year and my flat is worth 300K, do I have to pay taxes on 300K. What if I can't afford it? Do I loose my house to the government tho I can totally afford the mortgage.

Does the tax bill change every year??? That can't be right. how do you keep track of your money if you haven't a clue what your tax bills are.

my friend pays child support, and his ex does not work and receives public assistance. how can she have someone else claim the kids? shouldn't he be the one claiming them since she doesn't work and he is responsible for more than half of their support? can a magistrate put in the child support order that the father can claim the children? or does the mother have to agree? is she legally entitled to have someone claim them since she receives public assistance? thanks in advance!!

I'm kind of new to this, I opened an account with scottrade to buy/sell stocks. I deposited $225 and kind of left it there for now. I just got a voicemail from scottrade saying that I've selected on my application that I want to backup holdings from the IRS and he said I need to contact him and let him know that I've done that or they might need to take taxes out. What does this mean?
