		<description>Hi, I have a lady friend who has a 3 year old daughter that has both a Canadian and United States
Citizenship. Her father who resided in the States is deceased, and her mother currently resides with her in Canada. If she is to receive a benefit from this date to her 18th birthday, based on her fathers tax contributions, will the daughter be taxed for the said benefits once she reaches age 18 and the benefit has ceased payment?</description>

		<description>I am quite worried. I moved from the US in January of 2007. I did not work at all in 2007 and in January 2008 I moved to Saudi Arabia and have been working here until now. I was under the impression that I did not have to file taxes because I did not live in the US, but now I am worried I might have needed to and I could be in trouble. Could you help me find where I might get this information. Thank you</description>

		<description>The question deals with maximum amount of retirement funds that one can deduct when switching from a salaried employee to an independent contractor during 2009.  During 2009 I switched jobs. I worked from Jan 2009 to Jun 2009 as a physician for a medical school which I had deducted deducted the maximum amount for my 403b retirement account and the special 457c retirement account for education institutions. I was able to put $10,000 into my 403b account and $12,000. into the 457c account.  I am 55 years old.  At the end of Jun 2009 I terminated my employment with the medical school and became employed with a government hosipital as an independent contractor.  I will make approxiamately $85,000. from Aug 2009 to  Dec 2009.  What is the maximum retirement amount that I can setup for the salary that I made as an independent contractor during 2009.</description>

		<description>I have a 529 that I am custodian for, my daughter is the beneficiary.  She is now in college and last year, we made some withdrawals where the checks were cut in my name or her name, to reimburse us for books, college expenses, etc.  By doing this, we received 1099&#039;s.  Do we need to claim this as income?  I called the 529 fund and they said as long as we used it for college expenses, we do not, it&#039;s only necessary to do so if we used the money for anything non college related.  Please advise.</description>

		<description>A client has found out that 2005 and 2006 sub s tax returns were not filed with the IRS by mistake or error, however personal income tax filings were made for those years and the taxes were paid by the client for the Sub S Corporation.  The client is a 100% shareholder of the Sub S Corp.  We need to file the returns and provide evidence that they were filed but late.  Can we go to the local IRS office and have them stamped recieved.  A third party is requesting prompt evidence of the filing with the IRS.</description>
