A nice cozy chat amognst friends!!They missed the point, of course. The big issue is non-payment of income tax. How to catch the cheats….here lies one of the answers. Many mortgage loans are granted on the strength of both provable income and “soft factors”. The latter include other income, rents etc which the borrower cannot prove (because they are not declared). So here we have taxpayers cheating, banks happy to hear about it but never disclosing it to the APEH (business secret!!). All the APEH needs to do is to open the mortgage files of all borrowers whose initial application failed but who were eventually lent money on appeal (the “soft factors” coming into play). Perhaps once this is exposed people will feel less sympathy for both the borrowers and the banks who have colluded for their mutual gain at the expense of the budget.So simple, it is surprising that our great leader did not think of it himself.

My 1099-R, box 2b has two options: one is “Taxable amount not determined” and the other is “Total Distribution”. Each option is preceeded by a box and both boxes are blank. Turbotax has asked me to identify which box is marked. What should I do? I checked my 1099 on-line. It is identical to the hard copy. Neither box is checked, X’ed or marked at all in any way.

I would like to know why turbo tax has not communicated with me on my refund status. It has changed twice now. I would like to know why I paid 74.95, and not even get an email from turbo tax. It would be nice to know what is going on. My first refund date was 2/11/11, then it was 2/15/11, and now it is 3/01/11. Can someone explain!

I have a question regarding Schedule C and being self employed.

I filled out all the usual things to do with the schedule C (which I’ve done for years) including the car expenses. Now, in doing my 2010 taxes, I’m being asked to give the info again later on in the process. It’s not that I mind entering the same info again, but it sort of makes me think I’m entering 2 times to get credit for something I’ve already entered. But on the other hand, Turbo Tax is usually pretty good about explaining “if you’ve already entered xxx- don’t enter that here, etc)

It makes a pretty big difference if I add it- I just don’t want to be told in a few years I was wrong, and have to repay.

Please help,

Jeannie

I have been filling out my small business return with a business vehicle expense that does not get applied even though it is recorded. In other words, the expense is noted on my return but not deducted from my operation expenses. Why is that? and how do I correct it. Thanks

I have had an non related minor living with me since March of 2009

because her parents kicked her out

She was 16 at the time

On May 1 2009 we got her biological parents to sign Notarized papers saying they give me guardianship of their child and made me medically and financially responsible for her in every way, as well as legally responsible for her if she gets in a car crash or breaks a law, and responisble for her education.

I know that court approved papers are the best but we got papers notarized instead of going to court because it was the fastest way for me to be get permission to sign her school papers and get her medical attention of needed and becaus we were afraid that CPS would take her far away from her school friends and eveything and she would go from foster home to foster home because of her age.

She Turned 17 on June 4 2009

and still lives with me to this day

I know to claim a dependant child they have to live with you over half the year and you need proof of it I have proof she has bee living with me.

but she is still not related to me

I claimed her on my taxes

and found out her parents did too

Am I allowed to claim her on my taxes?

Can I take this to court and win?

And if I have to go to court over this will the Notarized papers stand as proof of my guardianship?

I just submitted my Federal Tax and when I look at my return, it turned out one of my dependent, my wife parent was not added on my dependent, line 6d. So the calculation if off. Then I go back to personal information and update it. Then it calculed correctly adding my mother in law as my dependent. How I am going to correct it since I already submitted my federal return. Thank you
