Gosh, I was glad to find your website! Thanks for doing this and for obviously having a passion for it. Although I worked for a CPA years ago and did tax returns myself, I was glad to get out of that! However, at the time I really liked it...after I left, taxes were just a burden to me! I just today received an inheritance check from an IRA account that belonged to a friend of mine who died about 6 years ago. I am on disability and do not make enough to pay taxes, but I seem to remember that IRAs are not taxed at the time they are paid into the account, but are when they are withdrawn. Would this apply to a beneficiary of this inhertance? Even with this check, I would not be over the $25,ooo (is that right?) amount that would cause me to be taxed, but wonder if it might be taxed anyway because of the TYPE of income. Thank you so much for your help! I am not a CPA, never was, and just don't remember enough to feel confidence in my judgement on this. Deborah Hi. Gosh, I was glad to find your website!

This year (2009) I have been developing my product. I have a question about expense. Example. I purchased a trailer for my business and have added several thousand dollars to make it operational. It is a moble business. Question does all my supplies and materilas that I used to make my trailer operational count as individual expenses or will all the materials needed to improve the trailer add to the basis of the trailer.

We have a hearing in court soon so he can lower child support. He says I can see his W2. I still think that he is doing something to not show on his W2 that he is making a lot less money than previous years. Anything I can do?

I have never filed for taxes since 2004. Im only 21 and have no clue what to do. i have moved numerous times and have never recieved a w2 form because it would be sent to the wrong location. i have worked so many places that i wouldn know what employment dates or anything to actually have them send me them now. i just figured the irs would have a record of all the money they would have taken out of my paychecks in the first place. so i kinda would just like a copy of the records so that i can file to get what ever i can back. So how would i go about doing this. If you could figure it out please help. Thank you very much. How would i recieve forms from the irs to file my back taxes? I have never filed for taxes since 2004.

It's very interesting and states that the home must be purchased by the taxpayer on or after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009. The amount could be up to $7,500! The IRS states a First-Time Homebuyer as "A "first-time homebuyer" is any individual (and spouse if married) who had no present ownership interest in a qualifying principal residence during the 3-year period ending on the date of purchase of the principal residence fo rwhich a first-time homebuyer credit is being claimed." I think it's possible you could.

Check out the forms listed as "taxable aount of the bennefits" that's where the actual forms are. Remember, I'm not giving legal advice on this site.
