  • Re: False 1099 filed on me.in 2001 still can't resolve this?...

    I think that suing the guy might be a good idea. If you sue for a high enough amount...the full amount that you owe the IRS plus another 20k or so of punitive damages, you just might make it cheaper for him to settle the matter with the IRS, rather than pay you. You could then settle for him giving you the proper corrected form 1099 MISC and the signature

  • Re: No W2

    If you have the last paycheck stub for the last paycheck that you DID receive, hang onto that. It could be very important for you. If the company went through a bankruptcy its likely that you will receive the W2, the trustee should make sure that happens as part of the overall closing of the company. However, again, if you do not, that last paycheck

  • Re: Questioning my first time home buyer status.

    I was at a continuing education seminar (NATP sponsored) this past friday and the following scenario was addressed. Man purchased a house in March of 2009, and amended his 2008 tax return to take the credit. He later married in November. He was fine to take the credit on his 2008 return, but could not have done so on his 2009 return. According to the

  • Re: IRS levied bank account due to alimony not reported

    I agree with taxagent, but I will throw out that your brother should make sure that ALL that he is deducting is the alimony. If there is any child support or property settlement payments included in the money he gives her every month, that part should NOT be deducted as alimony. People sometimes make that mistake.

  • Re: IRS Trumps Decree? Who claims kids?

    [quote user="Joe Bob"]taxagent, you continue to imply I might be subject to damages due to falsely claiming the exemptions...I have made no claim. she has always claimed kids. you also say "she can get what the decree says she's entitled to get" and that's the crux. this language says "she shall be entitled to claim

  • Re: Definition of Qualifying Child for Adoptions

    Thank you for that information. I do see exactly where you are coming from. To be honest, it has only come up in conversation in our office. I don't believe that we have actually had any adoption situations in a long time where the child didn't already live with the taxpayer for quite a while prior to the adoption (grandparents or stepparents

  • Re: Definition of Qualifying Child for Adoptions

    While I never like to question taxagent, I have always thought that adopted children were treated no differently than newborns. Admittedly its not anything that I have researched in probably 20 years, but that has always been the general consensus amongst any tax professionals in our office or that I have known.

  • Re: IRS "Tax Home" - Married Filing Jointly?

    I am going to throw something out here that has not been addressed. While there is no reason why you cannot file a joint federal return, it may be more practical to file a separate state return. (you for state A and your husband for state B). See a tax professional at tax time, to determine that.

  • Re: 10% interest on title, paying 50% of mortgage -- tax ded...

    I would also like to throw out one more thing. There does come a point where mortgage interest is no longer helpful on a tax return. When the mortgage interest is low enough that it doesn't push your itemized deductions higher than your standard deduction, its much less useful. The year that you marry his sister, and would be filing a joint return
