I pay my mother 6,000 for daycare, however she also lives with me. Can I claim the daycare expense?




Answers: You can claim this as a daycare expense...However, you will have to provide your mother's social security number and the IRS will be alerted that she has earned this money...therefore, she will have to file. Does she also keep other children at your home? If she does, you can claim a certain amount of deduction as "home business." You will need a qualified tax consultant to do this, as it is very specific. You need to know how many rooms are used for childcare and the square footage for each room. Food, toys, books.all of these "expenses" can be claimed also (if other children are kept).
Yes, but, you have to give them your moms SS number- and your mom will have to claim it on taxes.

Getting started within consulting, excise question?

I am being pushed into doing consulting on the side of my full-time living. (it's either that or I do the work for free). How am I supposed to estimate my taxes if I really don't hold any idea how much I am going to be paid (it probably won't be more than $1500 for the whole year, but you never know what will come up)? Do I really own to pay quarterly or can I ask my regular employer to withold more? Is here a "Consulting for Dummies" book that covers taxes? (the actual book by that title doesn't) I really don't want to put a lot of money into setting this up since it's solely a small side thing and I will enjoy no deductable expenses (no sales, no physical product, not claiming mileage, already enjoy all equipment needed).


Answers: You can ask your regular employer to withhold more, instead of paying estimated taxes. As long as it's compensated in somehow, the IRS doesn't prudence how.

You'll file a diary C-EZ showing your consulting income, and any expenses if you end up have any. You'll file a diary SE if the net of rota C-EZ is over $400. The numbers from the bottom of the two schedules will dance on a form 1040 (not 1040A or EZ) along with your W-2 and any other income.
So, *who* will be paying you? (Your currently employer cannot split payments to you across both a W-2 and a 1099-Misc.)

Since you already hold a job, plan on 30-40% for taxes. You can bump your W-4 to include an extra amount per pay cheque period if you do not choice to send estimated export tax payments.
you should get a 1099 from whoever is paying you.
If you do not income estimated tax, worst that can start is you will have to wage penalties if its $1500 you are looking at contained by income, you probably would not owe too much in penalty. Just a thought, your actual mileage will vary!
