I NOTICED ON MY W-2; THAT THERE EAS A “BIG ” DIFFERENCE IN THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHELD FROM MY PAYCHECK. MY EMPLOYER SAID THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE TAX LAWS. MY YEARLY INCOME FOR 2008 WAS $29,250.00 AND I HAD 12 EXEMPTION S ON MY W-4.
MY EMPLOYER ONLY TOOK OUT $56.05 FROM MY PAY FOR ALL YEAR! HOW CAN I FIGURE OUT IF MY EMPLOYER IS SCREWING UP MY FED. INCOME TAX WITHHOLDINGS? IS THERE A CHART OR FORM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT IN RELATION TO HOW MANY EXEMPTIONS ARE ON MY W-4?February 14th, 2009 at 4:50 am -

How far back can I go to claim securities losses. For instance in 2004 I had $9,000 in losses that I didn’t claim. Can I do that now? I know I can only do $3,000 per year but it sure would come in handy this year.

I inherited a home in April of 2008 and it was appraised then for 376,000. Since then I have invested into repairs to the home and it sold for 336,000. (falling market) Palm Beach County FL. Since the home depreciated 40,000 in (1) year can I take the loss plus improvements made to the home.

I was just married in 2007 and filed a separate return for 2007.
This year I filed a joint return with my husband, who owes taxes. Can they keep our refund, even if this was his tax debt prior to our getting married?
I would like to know because we will then refile our 2007 taxes if they keep the refund this year.
Thank youMay 18th, 2009 at 10:17 am -

Is it possible for one spouse to file Head-of-Household rather than Married or do both have to file with one of the Married options? One of us has a significantly different income, and we’re looking for the best potential for refund.

I received about 5000.00 from death benefits when my father passed away, I also received a letter saying that I would have to claim it on my taxes, but I wanted to share it with some family members who are down on their luck, in reality I will be keeping about 550.00 of it. Sooo my question is, will I still have to claim the whole amount on my taxes since i’m giving most of it away?

I bought a mid cap fund in ’07 and when I put in the information on TurboTax when the review starts it first tells me \Per share should not be entered for property acquired via single purchase. Then after hitting continue it says \Line 22a. Date acquired should not be entered for property acquired via single purchase.\ Then it will say Capital Gain Wks (96 shares ISHRS TR RSL MDCP GROWTH): Line 22b. Number of shares should not be entered for property acquired via single purchase. I have checked evrything and it all appears to be correct but TurboTax want let me go on and efile. Please any suggestions.
Tks,
Ronnie
