How will the IRS divide proceeds on the sale of a home if there is lien? I divorced my husband. He did not pay his taxes.

How do I settle with the IRS on taxes owed? How likely is it they will settle & how much will they settle for? I just found out I owe $7000 in taxes for last year, due to my income from my [now defunct] partnership being listed as a "Guaranteed Payment" instead of a passive, capital draw (loan from the company). I disagree, but getting the investor/partner to amend the K1 in my favor is unlikely, as poor records were kept and this K1 favors him as far as tax deductions go. And I'm probably not going to be able to fight him. I've heard the IRS works with people in these cases. I'm 24, unemployed, don't own a house, have $2,000 in credit card debt. I've got about $6,000 cash in hand, but I'm moving next month and half of it'll be gone within 6 weeks. Do you think the IRS will settle with me? And how much, realistically, can I expect the IRS to knock off of that amount? How do I go about negotiating a settlement with the IRS after my return is filed so I don't get penalized. Also, H&R Block wants $408 to do my taxes? Is this excessive? Jackson Hewitt told me they couldn't do it, period. Thanks!

How does the IRS tax a baseball? Will someone please tell this guy before he sells this ball for $500,000 that the IRS cannot tax him on the value of the ball, as the ball is not money, the fan has not received any money for it, and the ball is worth nothing UNLESS the fan actually does indeed sell it. If the IRS thinks it can do such a thing, I doubt it would take much effort for this guy to find an attorney or several who will take his case and successfully argue that he has received no income in relation to owning this baseball. He is being dupped into selling it for a fraction of what it will be worth 5 or 10 years from now.

Yet for 2007 after I file for my return next year in april that it turns out I underpaid by 2000 dollars. Will I owe the IRS a penalty for this? Second senario. Say that for 2006 my taxes are fully paid. But for 2007 I am also getting a tax return of around 100 dollars because of all my deductions such as charity, real estate tax and interest etc. Even though I technically underpaid the IRS before the deductions, after the deductions are accounted for I still have a return. Will I owe any penalty for underpaying before the deductions are accounted for? Please let me know what my consequences are for both senarios. I want to clarify Senario 1.

I heard if you are fully paid for the prevoius year then it doesn't matter if you underpaid for the current year when you file.

IRS CID Special Agent Acquitted of Tax Fraud, what do you think of this verdict? Former IRS CID Special Agent Joseph Banister Acquitted of Tax Fraud And Conspiracy Government Unable To Prove U.S. Law Requires Income Tax Withholding or Filing http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-5297571003407049929&q=joe+banister Sacramento California -- On Thursday June 23, a federal jury found former IRS Criminal Investigative Division (CID) Special Agent and CPA Joseph Banister not guilty of all counts alleging criminal tax fraud and conspiracy related to actions he took on behalf of a California business owner who had openly defied the IRS over several years by stopping withholding of all income and employment taxes from the paychecks of his workers. During the trial the Department of Justice was unable to put forth any evidence that Banister had either engaged in a conspiracy or had acted unlawfully when he shared legal research with business owner Al Thompson concluding that he had no legal obligation to withhold taxes from his workers or when he (Banister) prepared corrected tax returns for Thompson claiming his taxable income was, under U.S. law, zero. During the trial, Banister's former supervisor at IRS’s San Jose CID office, Robert Gorini (who testified via video recording) when pointedly asked, was unable to cite any U.S. law that required Banister to pay income taxes. Banister, who was forced to resign in 1999 after questioning IRS officials about their legal authority, gave Thompson’s worker’s a presentation in 2000 which reviewed his detailed investigative research of U.S. tax law which concluded that not only did the IRS lack any authority to impose income taxes on the workers, but there was no legal requirement for the business to withhold any taxes from the worker's paychecks. Banister is part of a nationwide effort seeking to force the U.S. Government to respond to a series of detailed legal Petitions for Redress of Grievances directly challenging the authority of the IRS. Last summer, the We The People Foundation initiated a landmark lawsuit with 2000 plaintiffs against the government because it has refused to answer the Petitions. The Right-To-Petition lawsuit, of which Banister is a plaintiff, is the first time in history that U.S. courts have been asked to define the meaning of the final ten words of the First Amendment. Court documents for the RTP lawsuit and scholarly research regarding the Right to Petition can be downloaded from the Lawsuit Information Center on www.GiveMeLiberty.org. Following the verdict, Banister was greeted by a throng of WTP supporters and members of his family.

IRS/Santa Barbara Bank & Trust? Ok..Here's another problem. The Irs website states that my refund will be deposited on 2-16. I originally applied for a Refund Anticipation Loan (through Santa Barbara Bank and trust) and was denied, and that my refund would turn into a Refund transfer. (they will collect funds then disperse them to my bank account. I checked with SBBT for my account status and this is what it said The IRS issues refund deposits each Friday, so your delayed deposit may not arrive until the following Friday. You may visit www.irs.gov to check the status of your refund. The IRS did not deposit funds to your account as originally expected. The IRS usually makes refund deposits within 9 to 16 days, but your deposit was not received within that timeframe. At times the IRS will delay a refund deposit by one week, so you may check back at this site seven days from now. If no deposit is made by then, you should contact the IRS. For more information on the status of your refund. IT'S ONLY WEDNESDAY HELP!! I don't understand why the irs gives you a direct deposit date if they need to or want to review your return. It doesn't make any sense. Has any one from the 1/26 deposit date rec'd their refund???

OMG! I don't know if we have a plan set up with IRS, and we have never sent them any reports. I am so confused... What should I do? I am scared to tell my bosses about this problem... Does anyone know if a co must file any kind of paperwork with IRS to (1) set-up this Section 125 Plan & (2) what kind of reports I need to send to IRS to report medical and life insurance deductions that were made pre-taxed.

IRS Plan 125 (long question) - please help? My co has been deducting our medical insurance as pre-taxed for years. When I have started with the co. we have been using QuickBooks for our payroll, then we switched to ADP Payroll for that.

IRS question. Please help!? If someone hasn't paid their taxes and the IRS put a levy on your bank account but the amount in the bank still wasn't enough, can that person still call the IRS and make payment arrangements for the back taxes or they'll just keep on taking all the money in the bank account unitl all taxes are paid? This of course needs to be paid but how flexible can the IRS be if the person who owes the taxes is on a permanent disability and no means to survive except for the money she gets from SDI which is now being taken by the IRS from her bank account. She doesn't get much from SDI and it will take several months for her to pay the IRS even if they take all the money from the SDI. DRK1946 you are so correct. The reason why there were no notices because they mailing it to the wrong address and they are now reversing the levy on the bank account and putting back all the money.

IRS 2007 Delayed - LATE! -Tax Refund - Date Changed - Reference Code / Number 1221, 1301, 8002 and the alike? How many of you have gotten weird codes and sudden message changes on your 2007 IRS tax returns? Has anyone seen a code 1221, 1201, 8002 or anything other code & still gotten their refunds? Has anyone been told that there has been a delay on processing their refund with maybe a 2/19 date. How about if you do not receive your refund in 4 weeks to call 1-800-829-0582 and give ext 462? Has the IRS told anyone that they have direct deposited their refund but SBBT, SBBTRAL, otherwise Santa Barbara Bank and Trust says they DO NOT have it? Has anyone else been told that ACH takes 1-3 business days so if the IRS deposits on Friday. You will see it next Friday? All of this has happened to me. I wanted to post so we could share our trying experiences. I will keep you posted of my status, but as of 7:47am (EST) on 2/12 NO MONEY from 1/25. IRS even gave me my DD routing and account number on 2/11. What is the Real Deal? ANY FEEDBACK & LOGICAL EXPLANATIONS ARE WELCOMED Update: Now I have code 1121. MORE INFO: Today I was told I have a code 1121 for pulled EIC, Same dependents, same as always. I was told by the Rep you will either get a letter or it will be released, that is how it works.

Has anyone seen this IRS Atlanta? Could be the reason for delays? IRS: Social Security tax fraud hits GeorgiaAtlanta Business Chronicle The Internal Revenue Service has discovered a scam in Georgia involving filing a federal income tax return to get a refund on Social Security taxes paid. The IRS said the scheme usually works by the victim paying the scam operator a fee for preparation of a false refund claim and possibly a percentage of any refund received. This hoax fleeces the victims for the up-front preparation fee. Plus, the law does not allow such a refund of Social Security taxes paid, so participants could be subject to a penalty for filing a false tax return. "The IRS is very concerned that some people in the metro Atlanta area have fallen for this scam," said IRS spokesman Mark Green. "If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Getting a refund of Social Security taxes is generally not an option and, in this case, it's not legal." The federal government discovered the scam when workers in the Atlanta IRS office noticed several people coming in and asking for copies of their Social Security income statements. When questioned, some of the people explained a person was preparing refund claims for them. The IRS said it is still gathering information and working to stop the scam. But taxpayers who got a refund from one of the false claims before the scam was detected must return the funds. If they have cashed the check, the IRS said it will usually work with them to arrange an immediate return of the funds.

For year 2003, IRS sent a notice saying that I owe a ridiculous sum of money, Need advice? For year 2003, IRS sent a notice saying that I owe a ridiculous sum of money. This is primarily due to schedule-D. I had filed one for 2003 but totalled all the transactions rather than writing every item line by line. Unfortunately I had moved in mid-2005. So IRS mailed out some kind of errata which I needed to have responded by August 2005. Since I moved, I never received this notice. IRS then sent a collections notice in 2006. For which I responded with a new schedule-D with all the details. But IRS keeps ignoring every time I send a correspondence. I have hired a CPA. But today I received another notice, then I called IRS, they simply said, "Sir, your time to file for a correction to schedule-D expired in August 2005. So you owe us more than $100K. We will collect from you". I obviously am going to call my CPA and ask him to follow up. But I wanted some help from someone who has gone through this. This is just to make sure that my CPA is doing the right thing. Thanks Thank you so much for all those who a re posting here. Especially the one who told me about 04-15-2007 being the last date to file the amended return for 2003. Good News!!! You wouldn't believe, when I called the IRS, as I said, the guy told me, "Sir, we have made up our mind. You owe us the $100K and we will collect it from you by wage garnishment or assets from bank". But when my CPA called the IRS they told him, "The letter was sent by mistake". I totally don't get this. Why does the IRS give me (the tax payer) one answer and the CPA another answer. I'll be glad if they just resolve this thing.

IRS problems!? I just got a notice from the IRS that I owe taxes from 1999. I don't know how this could be right. I called the IRS last year and asked them if I was good on my taxes and they said yes. So I have all this interest to pay now. Does anybody ever settle with the IRS on an amount that is less? It is only $275., so I don't think it would be worth getting an attorney. I don't know if there are other options besides making payments or paying the full amount. Help! what if I did owe this money? Would I have to pay after almost 8 years, and if so, would a tax service be able to reduce this debt down to the original amount minus interest?

July 16th 2007 - sent IRS 1040X by mail August 29th 2007 - IRS finished 1040X September 1st 2007 - Receive letter about sending them W2C form September 4th 2007 - Sent off the W2C form to the IRS by mall I live in St. Louis, MO and the IRS center is in Kansas City, MO how long will it take for them to finish the process? how long will it take for them to send me my check?

Can the IRS nab these people? I worked for a Nightclub for over a year and a half and I, along with all the other employees were paid in cash at the end of every night. From the security staff to the bartenders.Never once has ownership ever asked for social security numbers or passed out 1099 forms. I am going to report them. But I have questions: 1.I can send it anonymously but if I put my name will I be kept anonymous to the club owners? 2. If the owners have other people on the payroll like family and friends (people who dont physically work there to avoid being flagged by the IRS can they still get caught. 3. Can an employer still pay taxes without having their employees on record? 4. What are the chances of something happening if all of the above is reported to the IRS, will it get shuffled into the red tape or does the IRS act quickly and swifley? The bottom line is should I persue something with the IRS against this company or does it not have a chance of sustaining anything?

IRS dictating what my withholdings should be? My employer received a letter from the IRS, telling my employer to change my withholding to zero, the letter stated that I am not entitled to claim the withholding I am claiming and the IRS is telling my employer to change it to zero - can the IRS do this and does my employer have to do what this letter said? Its not some “court order” just a letter. Can I fight this issue?

Can the IRS take back my refund? Is it possible for the IRS to take back a refund they already gave me? My husband and I filed a joint return a few weeks ago, with a 3600 refund. The IRS website told me that a direct deposit in this amount was scheduled to be made yesterday (Friday the 16th). I called my husband yesterday (overseas in germany) to find out if the deposit had been made. He went to the ATM, checked it, and said that all 3600 had been deposited. Then he called me this morning and said that the ATM was saying that the money was not there anymore. Is this possible? Can the IRS just take the entire amount of the refund back without notice, and that quickly? We're talking about hours here, and the IRS is not exactly opened on the weekend! Help!!!

IRS notice w/ refund check said amount is WRONG, but amount was RIGHT! What?? The other week, I got a $452 refund check for my Federal Tax Return. With it was a printed card from the IRS called "Notice 54, rev. January 2000 -- About your Refund Check." It said: "The amount of the enclosed refund check is different from the amount shown on your return. You should be receiving a notice in a few days that explains why the amount of the check is different and what additional information, if any, you may need to provide to the IRS." There was more text, but the jist of it is above. The reason I'm so confused is because when my accountant gave me hard copies of my tax returns (after e-Filing them), the amount of my Federal refund was shown to be $452. And that's the SAME amount that I received the other week on my refund check. So why is the IRS telling me there's a discrepancy, when there actually ISN'T?? On top of that, it's been about 2 weeks, and I never got the explanatory notice I supposedly would be getting "in a few days". WHAT is going on?

IRS Determining "contractor vs employee"? I worked for a company for 15 months as an Independent Contractor. No taxes were taken out and no insurance was offered. In that time, I was treated and represented to everyone inside and outside of the company as an employee. I even had managerial responsibilities. Reading up on the issue, I was definitely 'a common-law employee' I'm looking to hear from others who have successfully challenged their classification - from Contractor to Employees -by filling out the IRS SS-8 form. How long did it take to resolve the issue? How long did it take the IRS to render a verdict? What were your next steps after the IRS ruled in your favor? Was other legal remedies considered to right this wrong? What can I expect? Thank You

IRS Question? I recently received a letter from IRS indicating I never filed one of my W2 from a previous job in 2005.Honestly, I never received the W2. So I called the company.(no longer works there) and the sent me the form.I noticed it was sent to a friends address.I need to respond to IRS inquiry.What will happen next?I have never owed IRS before.What are my options?

IRS are the good guys? Why does everyone hate the IRS? I don't get it. There was this person complaining on here earlier about having an online business that crashed in 2000 along with alot of other companies and as a result, he has to pay the government extra money every year with interest because he owes them money he was unable to pay because he had to declare bankruptcy. First off, if you go bankrupt, it's YOUR fault. No one else is to blame. Secondly, the government needs that money to pay for schools and other programs. The IRS is a good thing. I know that occasionally the IRS may fine people too much money and charge too much interest, but how do they expect people to pay them back if they don't take aggressive measures? Also, if you have a business, you need to incorporate it. This guy didn't do that. It was his fault and to all the other whiners out there, I have one thing to say: Shut up and pay the money and fines. It's YOUR fault for getting into debt. What do you think?

If company has400k IRS taxes due on 941 payments from 1998and co. is defunct and I buy co. will IRS negotiate? There is a defunct company that I wish to buy. The company has $400,000 of IRS taxes past due from the year 1998. The taxes are due to non-payment of payroll taxes to the IRS (form 941 filings). The IRS has a lien and judgement on the company which is no longer operating and is in mothballs. If I purchase the company, can I negotiate with the IRS to get the 941 liability dismissed for a nominal amount?

What is IRS? Is it true that if i deposit cash only into my bank account, the IRS will get me? I here from many people that if i deposit cash only into my bank account, that i will get in trouble with the IRS. What kind of trouble? what will they do to me? What will they take from me? or if i have a savings account from all cash deposits, some day when that cash grows extremely high, the IRS will invade my account and take funds because it was cash only? What's this all about? Does anyone have detailed information? What is IRS? What do they do? Why do they exist? What is their purpose of existance? SO THAN IT WAS JUST A RUMOR?

The IRS said they would be depositing the $$$$$ today the 25th (08') And the refund has yet to hit my account today the 25th I was wondering when they would be depositing my taxes into my checking account!!??!!

I used H&R Block online tax program I have never done the direct deposit...So this is new to me, as I used to do Rapid Refund (which is a rip off) i totally did the Simple Pay option I called the bank (my personal bank) and they said it wasn't in their system....and that it wasn't pending against my account as of today... HELP!! Did the simple pay hold it up? Because everyone else got theirs today from what i have read on here..

IRS Refund reject code meanings 9001, 8002,1121, ETC? I did a little research and came across a section in the IRS manual (21.4.1 Refund Research) ,Internet Refund Fact of Filing". THis is a table that gives all the definitions to the elusive refund status codes. I am providing a link to the IRS website for this chart. http://www.irs.gov/irm/part21/ch04s01.html Scroll to the very bottom of the page and the chart is there. hey all! I received my entire refund deposited at SBBT this morning!!!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!

IRS levies and payroll? The IRS levied my employers account and we are a small business and all that money was for payroll. Does anyone know if the IRS can not levy payroll funds if they are labeled payroll. The IRS say they can do whatever they want. Does anyone know if they can do this or not. I need a specific code if they can not levy payroll funds. Thanks for the help.

IRS Refund? The IRS says they deposited to my bank account on 1/25/08. My bank still does not see this deposit. I know I gave the IRS the correct information, because on the tax software I only inputted my bank information once, and my State refund has already went through. What time of the day does the IRS usually release the refunds for direct deposit? How is it that the bank cannot see this deposit yet? Does anyone know how this works? I am getting worried....

IRS should tax players items if they tax fan who caught ball? I have no problem with the IRS taxing the person who sells the ball Barry Bonds hit if he sells it. But isn't taxing it before its sold opening a can or worms? If they can tax him for its assumed value then why not tax players for the stuff they keep that has value if sold? How much could a superbowl ring or ball bring on the market? Or even the trophy itself. Its not fair to tell a fan he must pay taxes even if he wants to keep the ball and then not tax players items of value they keep at home. Or for that matter the IRS should go to Bush's residence and total up the auction value of every item he got as a gift from his days as an baseball owner and even the stuff he was given as governpr and president. I'm sure he has lots of items given as gifts by other leaders that would be worth a lot on the auction block. I bet Barry Bonds kept the bat that hit the record ball. Why isn't the IRS taxing that item too? It could fetch a lot at aution.

Does the IRS question the person receiving gifts of cash? A person can give multiple 12k to anyone without being taxed but the question is does the IRS question the person receiving? A lot of people around me are getting married and (so will i in the near future) so naturally i am wondering what the maximum amount a person can receive before the IRS comes to the picture. For example: It doesnt make sense that a person can receive 100k from many people without having to report it to the IRS. The IRS website mentions the amount a person can give as a gift but nothing about the person receiving it.

IRS levied business bank account. What can be done? I've just spent the past 2 hours on the phone with a friend of mine. he owns a small biz and the IRS levied his bank acct, taking out his bank balance of $1400. He knew he owed the money but has had financial problems and just didn't think it would happen this fast. Now, his bank said they hold the money for 21 days and that it MIGHT be possible to have the IRS remove the levy and allow him access back to the $1400. My questions are 1) Is this possible and what would he need to do to convince the IRS to allow that, 2) He still owes $3400...what kind of deal can he expect to work out? 3) Anyone have any advice for him to get back into their good graces? Will they just hard ball him tomorrow, keep the $1400 and threaten him over the remaining $3400?

irs fullform? i had read in a buk the full form of irs is indian remote sensing satellites. i reada question just now in which it is given irs means something else. what is the fullform of irs?

The IRS has accepted your return. Due to a prior year issue or other obligation the IRS is indicating ........ I filled my taxes yesterday (2/1/08) (at hr block) and to my surprise I was not approved for a RAL; I thought that this was odd, b/c this was the first time I was denied the RAL. Anyway, I recieved a call back from HR block today saying my refund was denied due to federal reasons; they couldnt provide me w/ any info as to why. So I checked the status of my return on their website. I got the following message when I put in my social "The IRS has accepted your return. Due to a prior year issue or other obligation the IRS is indicating that your refund may be delayed. Please call the Treasury Department at 1-800-304-3107 for more details." So I called the above number and it was an automated system--I got a recording saying that my return would be offset b/c of a student loan I had through AES. I have payment arrangements on this loan (it is in collections) I didnt think they would still garnish my return? I'm positive that this has to be what it is. Any advice? Well, I called the IRS and it looks like the student loan was what it was. She said I should have the remainder of my refund within 3 weeks. I too paid for the RAL :(

The IRS and TAXES - Whose authority ? I am still waiting to hear from somebody who can tell me By Whose Authority the IRS collects money - Please read the question folks.I know the Gov has laws about taxes, but who gave the IRS the authority to collect them ? - And the IRS IS NOT a FED Agency - Gee folks !!!!!

Tax/IRS question, please advice? Can you advice me how to go with this? A few months ago, I received a tax bill from the IRS stating that I owe back taxes for 2003. I used Hewitt Jackson. They must have made a big mistake with my taxes for 2003. They misrepresented my information. now I am stuck with a hefty bill from the IRS. Can someone please advice how I can successfully negotiate this bill with the IRS? I do not seem to have any recourse with the tax filing company. They are totally not responsive. I just felt that SOME of these services are not competent.

The IRS does not tax gambling winnings? True or false? Let me elaborate. It's true that gambling winnings are reported by casinos to the IRS. If you do not report these winnings, the IRS will come after you for them if the amount is at all significant. But ... you can claim gambling losses to offset your winnings. Say you win 20,000 playing poker. You put the 20,000 on your return as gambling income. On a separate line in the return you claim 20,000 in gambling losses. The IRS will not question your losses up to the amount of your winnings. True or false? That's what I heard anyway. Can someone confirm?

Become IRS agent with very low GPA? Is that possible?

Friends IRS Taxes done wrong- Need more info? Posting for my guy friend. He is 23 and works. His older brother (same mom, not dad) doesnt work. That family is a mess. My friend lived with them up until a few months ago. But for 2006 he filed and claimed 2 kids of his brothers. He takes care of them, ect...They move alot, but also in the house is the brothers gf and her mom. They have important mail, like IRS.HRBLOCK go to a permanent friends home. H&R BLOCK gave him about 5 grand. But now IRS wont give all the money to H&R Block. So H&R Block wants that money back...and IRS wants proof of alot of paperwork. One thing was that their mom is the same but different dads..they asked for marriage lisence...The mom was married a few times but not to his dad. they can say/sign everything is legit but they asked for a bill with my friends name on it...That they dont have...What should he do?

ITIN from the IRS? I am an American citizen but my soon to be wife is living and working in Thailand. We will be getting married this year in the States when she comes to visit me. 1. Can I obtain the ITIN for her from the IRS after we are getting married? 2. Does she has to be staying in the States for a long time? She cannot absent too long from her work. 3. Do I have to report her income from abroad when filing the tax next year? We plan to file 1040 jointly. Since this number is not SSN, she is not eligible to work here in the States unless she would like to stay here. (I will be traveling to see her twice a year.) I read the instructions from the IRS web site and could not understand the 36 page document. It is very confusing. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1915.pdf Please advise. I do appreciate your response. Thank you. Thank you for your response. I am uncertain whether my wife's income can be reported, because it is less than $1,000 per month and the document is not in English. Do we have to find the official translators, since there is no tax withholding and there is no social security over there. If the IRS is holding the Social Security Tax, she is not eligible because she can't even apply for SSN. If I am not wrong, their fiscal tax year is starting on October 1 and ending on September 30. I know that when I have a child with her, the child can become dependent on applying the social security number.

If IRS withdraws a lien on my assets, how many points would my credit score go up? IRS has a lien on my assets; I have a credit rating that is rated 'poor', for that and other credit problems. If I convince IRS to withdraw the lien (IRS obligated to report withdrawal to credit bureaus by law), would my credit rating improve very much....how many points do you think?

Tax , irs mutual fund question? Hi out there, I received a notice from the irs that I owe more taxes for the year 2006. I invested in a mutual with after tax money on a monthy basis from 2004-2006 and sold in 2 increments $5000 and $4900. I realized only a small gain of about $300 but did not report the whole sale to the irs. Now the irs is stating i owe taxes on the whole amount $5000 and $4900. What forms do I need to fill out to resolve this and what do I ask my investment brokerage to send me for documentation? thanks

TurboTax/IRS? Could there be any flaws in the TurboTax program or does the IRS check it before it goes to the public? My baby's father wants to claim our son as a dependent and there is an option on TurboTax that says that he can but when I went to the IRS website 1040 instruction sheet is says that the dependent has to live with you for 6 months out of the 2007 year before you can claim them. My son lives with me not his father yet he insists its okay because TurboTax has an option on there that says he can claim him even if the dependent does NOT live with him. I don't want to break the law (obviously) but he definitely thinks TurboTax is right and I'm pretty sure the IRS is. Should I call them and will I even be able to get through to speak to a representative or is it not even worth it? Does anybody have any experience in this? And no we have never been married.

Can the IRS take a money from a life insurance policy being paid to beneficiary? My father passed and left a life insurance policy to me (his daughter); I'm using it to pay for his funeral. However, I also owe the IRS a big chunk of the money for the 2006 tax year. Can they take the whole amount or will the funeral home get their portion first and then the IRS? Can the IRS take it all?

does the irs owe me money, due to someone else filing my child every year on their tax refund? my childs father files my child on his refund every year for 8 yrs, she never lived with him she always lived with me. he always rushes and claims her before i can. then im stuck prooving to the irs that she stays with me. then he owes them money, i later on get my refund. every year i have to wait because he gets the refund back before me. he had filed bankrupcy due to oweing irs, does that mean that for every year he claimed and i was rejected the irs owes me money?

Is my IRS return money going to be automatically applied to my installment agreement debt? Is my IRS return money for this year going to be automatically applied to my installment agreement debt from last year, or will they actually give it all to me? 1. I am on an installment agreement for 2005 taxes 2. I am expecting a nice tax return back from the IRS for 2006 but wonder if they will just decide to keep it and apply it to what I owe them. It would be an added bonus if you could provide a link to confirm your answer as I can't find anything on the IRS website, etc. Thanks!

Ignored the IRS for years... where to start? I have not filed my taxes in about 6 years... in that time i had a levy or two, but now I need to make things right. Should I call the IRS and throw myself at their mercy or visit a tax lawyer first? I don't have any documentation for those years either, and I know I would probably need it. (Example - the IRS used to double-count rent I received from rental property, and I dont have the 1099s to prove it now...) I don't know what alternatives I have, if any, because I truly fear not getting treated fairly (I used to get audited yearly before I "checked out"). My finances, and back taxes, are a complete mess (I didn't pay on any credit cards or loans for 6 years either). I visited the CCCS about my consumer debt and have a manageable plan to pay that off, but that is not with the IRS "wildcard" and the payments I may owe to them. I have no idea where to even begin to get my financial life back in order. Where should I begin?

Is the IRS able to Garnish your entire paycheck? I have just seen my paystub and to my horror I noticed a section labeled "Tax Lien". The amount payed equals my entire paycheck of two weeks. The only money I owe is to the IRS for 2005. I had an arrangement with them to pay $200 a month and was unable to pay them last month. Are they allowed to garnish my entire paycheck? I have a one year old, my wife had the flu and missed a week of work, and most of our finances in the bank were withdrawn for Christmas.. I owe money for a Car Payment, Utilities, and Rent... I do not know how I am going to feed my wife and baby. I was never notified by the payroll department of my employer of any agreement they had made by the IRS, nor was I notified by the IRS that they would be doing this..

Are you being audited by the irs, or are you afraid of the irs? Well don't be. Here is constitutional proof that the IRS is a fraud: 16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. Article I, Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. The Agency The IRS is a bureau of the Department of the Treasury and one of the world's most efficient tax administrators. In 2004, the IRS collected more than $2 trillion in revenue and processed more than 224 million tax returns. http://www.irs.gov/irs/article/0,,id=98141,00.html 31 U.S.C. section 301, reads as follows (in part): § 301. Department of the Treasury (a) The Department of the Treasury is an executive department of the United States Government at the seat of the Government. In other words, the constitution clearly allows CONGRESS the right to tax income. However, CONGRESS is the house of representatives and the senate--they are elected officials. The IRS is not elected and is in fact a part of the executive branch, a violation of the 16th amendment that says CONGRESS only can tax income. This is straight from the Constitution of the United States. Do you believe in the Constitution or don't you? The Constitution of the United States is the highest power of our government, from which all elected federal officials get their power. To violate the constitution is an act of treason. remember that. Are you an American, or aren't you? You two morons are further proof that drinking fluoridated water is bad for people. Heil Hitler. Nothing to hide, eh? So let the government map your dna, imbed a chip in your brain, and dig through your finances. Nothing to hide, remember?

irs question? N 2006 I MAKE SOME PROFIT I$ 1500.00 IN STOCK DO IHAVE TO SHOW THAT MONEY IN MY TAX RETURN AND HOW MUCH TAX IHVE TO PAY IRS.

Another IRS Question? What happens if you cannot pay the taxes you owe to the IRS. Say you are 7k short. What will the IRS do? Will they garnish my wages? (once I get a job again) Or, will they make a payment plan? How long woud the payment plan be for? Thank you. Thanks man. I appreciate your help. If I have a payment plan, will it hurt my credit?

IRS Question? I worked in a war zone for 300 days. I lost my job at no fault of my own, was forced to come home and be unemployed. I couldn't claim unemployment insurance because the company I worked for was based out of a different state than I lived. As a result, I had to live off of the money I saved for taxes. What will the IRS do? It was 1099. How much taxes will be owed on 70k? And I did form a business for write offs, but never had a chance to open another bank account with the EID? What can I do? Thank you. Thanks guys. Yeah, they tried to say we are 1099, but we wore uniforms, and had to work on their schedule. They did it to save money. I will give the IRS a call. Thank you. So, it looks like best case I will owe around 15k, if I can make the claim I was an employee. What if I only have 7k to pay the IRS? What will the IRS do?

IRS audit advice? If I am having problems working with my IRS auditor would I be better off pushing the file to appeals court? Does it look bad for an auditor not to close out the file. Just looking for some helpful hints to use to get the auditor to work with me.

IRS form 1040 schedule D line 17 for stocks, yes or no? There are two categories, one for short term gains and the other for long term gains. I only have one entry of selling stocks for $40 profit within the year of 06. Line 17 asks if both are gains. One is +40 the other is 0, so technically both are positive/not losses. Or, you could interpret that both must have a positive entry other than 0. The answer determines if I need to complete the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains Tax Worksheet or not. I'm thinking my entry is No, but I want to feel sure about it before submitting. The IRS Info page does not clarify the question.

How to pay 30k in IRS taxes and 4K a month in mortgage? Oh my gosh I was laid off 6 months ago and I just found out that my unemployment has run out. I also found out that my husband hasn't paid our IRS taxes since 2005 and we owe $30k. If I get a job the IRS will probably take my entire check forever. This is a nightmare. Why does the IRS go after the poor wife with no job and no income coming in and take $245.00 out of my checking without a warning? This Xmas is going to really blow.

RON PAUL VOTERS Do you really think the IRS will be eliminated? If we have a fair tax instead of the IRS who is going to collect, regulate, distribute, and enforce it? Ron Paul supporters answer There will be an IRS, but it will not be as big as they are now. When they say they want to "get rid of the IRS" it is more of a metaphor. They want to eliminate the federal income tax. We'd still have to pay Social Security and Medicare, so the IRS would still be there to regulate the income. Wake up people Ron Paul wants to double taxyou by decreasing not aliminating the IRS as promised. We will be paying for social security, medicare, and have a sale tax added on that will more than make up for the budget. ISN'T THAT A GREAT PLAN? This guy is slicker than Willie and I would beg voters to dig deeper and ask more questions to this candidate. I know I won't vote for him.

If the IRS was abolished how much danger are accountants in? I'm going to school to be an accountant, But I'm also supporting Ron Paul (You know, beacuse I care about America and Freedom) But if He started working to abolish the IRS and succeeded, Well I heard jokes about how accountants would go out of business. But I was planning on being more of a Financial adviser type. Am I in danger if the IRS was abolished. When I told my dad I wanted to go to school to be an accountant he said that If I got a CPA I would be a made man, without income tax is this true. If it is then what should I do to make the Big Bucks.

IRS solution??? I have been told by my employer that they are going to start deducting 100% of my paycheck until a $5000 bill is paid. This is termed a "levy". I called one of those tax negotiation companies and and was told that I don't qualify for an Offer in Compromise because I make too much money. Has anyone dealt with the IRS successfully?

If you owe IRS can u still declare bankruptcy? Lets say you dont have money and are broke and aside of that u owe irs from years ago.. can u declare bankrupt? will it affect ur status with the irs??

IRS forms? Hi, I just turned 18, and my place of work is asking me to fill out IRS forms. What do my employers need these forms for? How would this affect my income? Or say how much would it affect my income? Is there a step-by-step process that I can do to ensure everything is filed correctly?

IRS or Big 4? If you are newly licensed CPA (or just now taking the exam), Is it better to work at Big 4, or for IRS? My GPA in Masters program qualifies me for the Federal Career Intern program listed on the IRS website (http://jobs.irs.gov/hot.html) - which says I could be making more than $70K within 3 years and never worry about working the long hours that those at CPA firms do. I've got EXCELLENT analytical skills - so would love something in Tax. Would IRS be better than a job at Big 4 at this point? my link didn't post right - http://jobs.irs.gov/hot.html there - that's what I'm looking at.

IRS Questions? Will the IRS settle for less than you owe them? It is not a question of fault. It is a question of life and death and doing a job most people would piss their pants even thinking about. It's not a fault game, its life. And cut and paste bullshit the IRS does. I was a 1099 and was almost killed. I had to leave country and live off my savings. It's not about "hype" or recruiters whatever. So stop posting that bull shit. I appreciate your help anyway. "The IRS has to follow the mandates of Congress. If Congress won't put in a combat zone exemption for civilians, the IRS can't give you one...." True... the weblink didn't work for some reason.

IRS Question? If I owe the IRS 14k dollars. (l was a 1099 contractor and lost my job. No unemployment had to live off savings) How long will they give me to pay it off? Can I pay it off in 3 years if that is all I can afford? Thank you. Is it true they would write off 14k. It was a crazy situation that went down why I had to leave a war zone. Life/death sort of thing. But would the IRS really not make me pay the whole thing?

IRS tax help/sole propriorship THANKS!!!? I worked in Afghanistan as a contractor. Didn't make 330 do to a serious event. Will file an SS-8. My question is though, I formed a sole-prop. business for tax write offs. Unfortantely, I didn't form a bank account for it because I left Afghanistan before I could set one up. Thus, the business (1099 contractor/myself) didn't make money. Instead the company I worked for deposited the money into my personnel account. I will owe about 19k in taxes if my SS-8 doesn't come through. I couldn't file for unemployment after I left country because I was 1099. So, I am living off my tax savings. Do I file my tax return for my sole-prop. seperate from my individial return? If so, will the IRS think it is odd I report zero income for it and audit me? I only made 70k last year. With all the information given, what is the best thing I can do to lower my taxes? I bought a used car when I came back to look for work. I only have about 5k left for the 19k I will owe. It is not so much contractors are clueless, it is more that we take a job where we literally could die at any moment just so we don't have to chase the piece of cheese called middle class our entire lives. It is the nature of the work and the joke of social class system. I appreciate your reply, but I am wondering more about what to do with the business I formed. Can I do anything to make it work for me. thanks also for the links Thanks from both people. I did set aside the money. But I lost my job and since I was a 1099 I couldn't claim unemployment. So, I am living off my savings. Either that or be homeless.

The IRS lost my tax return and I have a certified receipt. Can I sue them for negligence of federal property? I sent my tax return in via certified mail and the irs lost my return. They processed my payment that was with the return but lost the actual return and they are requesting I send it back in. They are expecting me to pay a outrageous amount of money based on w-9 that have been sent to them. I have requested a reconsideration of my return. My money has been tied up on this since may and now it is december. Is there any way to make them pay interest on my money and maybe compensate me for my time? Can I sue them for negligence of federal property? I can appreciate both of your answers, Bostonian, and GNA. Thank you. BUT! GNA it was stamped by the IRS as received and it does become the federal goverments property at that time. The money that I refer to is the money between the date of may and december. yes that is money that i owe but it has not been applied , so officially it is still my money. thanks for all your answers, but some of you "top contributors" must be reading something into this that is not. Lesson read completely, then answer. Don't assume you know what has happened. Also V.B. , do you work for the IRS?? Your answer is about as confusing as the tax law itself. Take assume out of your mind, because you have assumed a lot out of what little I wrote. VB your like one of my friends. If the goverment told something, even though he didnt agree with it he would just do it because it must be correct because the goverment said so. Give me a break. That's why our country is in the state it is in now because people just lay down to them.

IRS Tax Credit: State CA? How much credit for being married and claiming your wife as a dependent? I have been all over the IRS website and I can not find how much more one would receive if they were to get married and claim his wife as a dependent for the whole year of 2007 since she did not work at all? Its it a percentage? Is it flat amount? Is it based on husbands pay? Any one with the best info to help me out?? Thank you but please don't say look up the website of IRS..I have been on it for an hour and can't find any infomormation...OOh and chart if possible of what amount each deductable is would be great as well. Thanks again! No Its doesn't have to do with GETTING Married..I already am and have been..This is just a general question...I am courious to understand the IRS more. Thats all!

Who is the IRS? DO you Fear Them? WHY? Who is this.. .IRS? DO you Fear them?? Why? or WHy not? they are just people like all of us, we are just the hard working ants who are being brain washed. What is YOUR opinion on the IRS?

What makes the IRS think that I am a customer? I am on the phone with the IRS hotline, waiting for some help with some tax forms. While on hold, they tell me they are helping other customers?!?!? WTF? Since when did a tax payer become a customer to the IRS? Oh they play great music while you are on hold... Dah dah dah lah lah....

IRS Audit for Amended Return? I have a small business (restaurant). My 2005 tax returns were totally off. Gross sales and COGS were off 110% ($50K to110K and 26K to 55K), and lots of deductions were not included. This is a family business and my brother did the returns and totally screwed up. The old 2005 return paid the IRS $350. With the amended returns, I'm going to be paying them $1300. The amended return numbers are pretty similar to my past returns. I'm really paranoid because I'm afraid this might trigger an audit

IRS location in dallas? Can anybody tell me where the IRS location in Dallas is?

IRS audit... is my tax preparer liable? We've used the same tax preparer for many years. Nothing fancy, one of the big name franchise's. Without any major deductions or audit flags we've been selected for an IRS audit. My wife and I are both W-2 workers and collectively earn just under $100K/yr, claim standard deductions (mortgage interest, kids (no EIC), nominal business expenses -- less than $1000/yr for business supplies, lunches, etc... and some mileage for business travel in a car that I own, (less than 10K miles per year and I'm in B2B sales), no investment losses or non-standard or "creative" deductions). Just seems so odd that we'd be selected for an audit. Is my tax preparer accountable to me for this audit? Is selection totally arbitrary or, are certain flags looked for? Appreciate all the feedback. Yes, business expenses are unreimbursed, mileage claimed is mileage not paid by my employer for business travel in my own vehicle. And, perhaps "liable" was a poor choice of words. I think "accountable" is probably better. Just seems we pay a fair premium for sound advice in completing our returns and advising us on what we should include and what not to include (so to speak). I'd like to believe I've paid for a bit more than someone simply filling in the blanks with the info I've provided. Wouldn't be much of a service if that were the case.

IRS question? This is just an argument me and my friend had, not related to my own life. If you have a live in girlfriend or boyfriend and she is cheating on her taxes and gets caught (she owns her own business and didn't file taxes for it) can the IRS take your home that's under your name. If you need more details to figure it out let me know.

IRS or DOJ intership? Is it better to get a summer intership position with the IRS or with the DOJ-tax division for summer of 2L? Is it better to get a 2L summer job with the IRS chief counsel's office or with the DOJ- Tax division?

IRS didnt pay close attention, and now they want the money back? Ok, so in 2005 I did my moms taxes on turbo tax, but my step-dad did his taxes on paper. Somehow one of there kids got claimed for child tax credit on both. The IRS issued the refund as stated on the return, but now they are telling my mother that she owes the money plus fees. Shouldn't they be responsible for giving the refund. they are still together but not married. After reading the information, there reasoning for my mom being punished is that my step-dad made more money and was entitled to the tax credit. Thank You

IRS? If I earn only $45 per week tutoring (I work for myself now) is that under the IRS earnings threshold? I live in Southern Cali (I have no car folks, lost my car in a car accident in 2003) and I had to start working somehow. So, I started tutoring to make a few dollars come in...less than $200 a month. I was told from H&R Block that if a single person earsn less than 6K or 5K a year, then that person does not have to report those earnings to the IRS. What happens if you earn $180 a month-or 2K a year? What about unemployment? What will they say? it's not like I'm rolling in the dough and I don't have my own transportation. Yes--I'm looking into car pooling, but-that is a different question. If you want to criticize me-please do it some place else. I didn't come on this to get that.

Should the IRS, SS & ICE departments all share information? It seems that if SS told the INS where all the no-match letters went, it would be easier for the IRS to go after employers who knowingly hire people w/o papers. Likewise, if all the ITIN mortgages were checked against IRS records, I bet you'd find a lot of "undisclosed" income. How is it legal for a bank to make a loan on a house that the mortgagor isn't even allowed to live in? (Yes, mortgagor is the proper term, the mortgagee is the bank).

Can I claim the difference between the IRS standard and my actual corporate travel reimbursement? I've been doing a good amount of business travel lately. My employer reimburses mileage and provides a per diem. However, both those amounts are below the standard IRS rates. For instance, the IRS mileage deduction is $0.485 per mile, while my company reimburses $0.405 cents per mile. The IRS per diem for the region I travel to is $44 / day while my company pays $35 / day. When I file my 2007 taxes, can I claim the difference between the allowable and actual reimbursements and an unreimbursed business expense? I travelled 2,000 miles for business, so was reimbursed $810. At the IRS mileage rate, that would have been $970. Can I claim the $160 as an unreimbursed business expense? Is the scenario different for mileage and the per diem? I'd prefer answers from folks who have actually faced the situation (or tax specialists) rather than speculation. Many thanks!

what happens if I go into default with the IRS on a payment plan? I am on a payment plan with the IRS for my 2006 tasx returns but I may not have enough to make this months payment if it goes into default can it be brought back to good standing? I will have no problem making next months payment. Anyone who works for the IRS or has knowledge of the regulations that can can help me with this question?

The IRS Jobs? Hi, All, Does anybody out there have any experience of applying to the IRS jobs? How much time does it usually take for them to get back to me? I have a degree in accounting & passed most of the H&R block tax courses with above 95% grades. I am a minority, is that problem? Thank you all.

Paying IRS from a tax audit is there a website to see payments made? I owe from a mistake on a tax return a few years ago and send in monthly payments is there a website where I can view this information? It doesn't list on my statement in the mail and I have had a hard time getting someone on the phone or to respond to email from the IRS website. Thanks

IRS saying my fiance has to prove paternity? My fiance has three children. They have lived mainly with him since they were born, with their mother coming and going, always leaving the kids with him. After moving out, she would take them for a week or so at a time. Anyways, he is being audited for 2004 since the mother's boyfriend claimed them on his tax return and she received government benefits claiming the kids lived with her. We've sent all requested documents (birth certificates, deed to home, letter from school, medical bills, etc.) to the IRS, and so far none have been acceptable. They are now asking for him to send a mortgage statment, utility bills, complete school records, complete medical records, and the long birth certificate. The biggest obstacle he faces is the kids have her last name and she didn't want him listed on the birth certificate. Only one child was in school during 2004. Has anyone ever had a similar problem? Maybe you work for the IRS and have some suggestions.

IRS Question? Can the IRS garnish Social Security Disability payments for back taxes owed?

IRS & Direct Depost? According to the IRS's Where's My Refund website, it says my refund was direct deposited to my account on the 16th, last Friday. I check my account balance with my debit card and it doesn't show any new money. As today is a holiday and it happened on a Friday, possible Friday night, do you think I'll have it in my account tomorrow? I bank at a small credit union, does someone at the bank have to actually credit my account? How does it work? Your tax refund was direct deposited on February 16, 2007. That is all it says... The guy at Turbo Tax said it should say more, but, I guess it doesn't? He was confused himself.

IRS question? We received a letter the other day telling us our 2005 taxes are being reviewed. What exactly does this mean? Are we being audited? Is this going to turn into one huge headache for us? If you've ever received a letter from the IRS telling you that your tax forms are "being reviewed", please let me know about your experience. Thanks
