Taxes Questions and Answers

Losing benefits file taxes, freshly married ,child income credit?

Married in 2007, my husband have x and child and wants us to report seperately so that the x does not see my income. I know it does not matter my income for that child. I also , own a child which I get credit for and I recognize that I will lose that and if we file seperate, next instead of me receiving 900, I will immediately have to reimburse 1680, which now I lose 2500 for this year. How do I prove making his life easier by sep. returns when he does not want me to directory with him because of his x. I know that the numbers are an issue but I know what those numbers are(that solved).Dont voice we should not have gotten married, it be something I thought was going to be a giving(we talk about it past we got married) Now it is resembling Gotcha, divorce or annulment (married 6 months and feel approaching an idiot)


Answers: I've never filed separately, but here's what I deem ...

Does your husband make an extra $2500 for file separately to make up for the $2500 you'll be losing? If not, next I wouldn't do it, but that's just me. I don't mind paying taxes, but I don't believe contained by paying more than necessary.

I'm divorced, and our divorce settlement said how much my ex would repay me for child support each month. He's be paying that amount for years, no problems, so he never has to see my taxes (and thus yearly income).

Also, when you're married, you're essentially one entity. And honesty really is the best policy.

Good Luck. You don't hold to do what your husband tells you to do, especially next to your taxes. I'd question a husband who be willing to lose money surrounded by order to fake to his ex for child support reasons.
The just logical reason I can see for the ex-wife wanting to see the charge returns is if they are fighting over the amount of child support he pays... In that situation, I believe she can compel him to produce his IRS transcripts surrounded by court.

Clarification of CCA vs Office Expenses?

Hello there - for 2007 we made the following "equipment" purchases: Printer ($90), Internet Router ($120) and External Harddrive ($90).
It is my analysis that i have to claim these lower than CCA, as opposed to Office Expense, however, they are such small amounts (I assume CCA is for much larger purchases). Is at hand any other way to claim these expenses, ie. beneath Office Expenses?
We run an on-site computer business and it is essential that we have the router for internet connectivity, the printer for printing invoices, etc., and the external harddrive for backup purposes.
Seems silly to me to text these under CCA.
Any direction (other than see a professional tax accountant) would be appreciated!
Thanks!


Answers: Small, almost throwaway items approaching that I have other just expensed. The printer, for one, will imagined die long before any CCA could properly rationalization for it.

CRA and my accountant have never have a problem with that. As you enunciate, CCA is intended for large, expensive, long existence items.
JUST PUT THEM UNDER OFFICE EXPENSES AND KEEP YOUR RECIEPTS CCA ARE FOR LARGER PURCHASES AND BE CONSISTENT ALWAYS EXPENSE ITEMS UNDER A CERTAIN AMOUNT SUCH AS 150.00 AND CAPITALIZE LARGER PURCHASES

I worked 2 unpaid job, one I made smaller number than $1,000 the other I made similar to $2,700; do I enjoy to wallet on them

These part-time job were tipped, so I don't construe they took out enough federal taxes. I own a full-time job, and when I enter in the info from my W-2's on the extra job, my refund decrease dramatically. I'm wondering if I have to include these two on my charge return. Thanks!


Answers: yes, it sucks but since you got a W-2 your employer reported your income so you enjoy to as well
Of course you do! Where did you go and get the idea that you wouldn't enjoy to?? Did you even bother to RTFM??

The IRS gets a copy of every W-2 and will compare what be supplied by your employers near what you filed. If they don't contest up, they'll come after you for the extra taxes PLUS penalties and interest than can donate 25% to 50% to the bill.
