Taxes Questions and Answers

Can anyone explain the ramifications of a 1099A irs form?




Answers: Look at box 5. Does it say yes or no?

If no, you do not have cancellation of debt, but you do have a "sale or other disposition." Use the debt amount to fill out schedule D. If this is your main home, any losses are non-deductable.

If yes, and the FMV exceeds the debt, you do not cancellation of debt income. Use the debt amount to fill out schedule D. If this is your main home, any losses are non-dedutable.

If yes and the FMV is LESS than the debt, then you may have COD income, but only when the lender actually writes off the debt. (The FMV amount is the sale price for the schedule D.) Ask the lender *when* they will cancel the debt because that's the year you need to account for the COD income.
Probably want a tax professional to assist you on this.

From the IRS:
Certain lenders who acquire an interest in property that was security for a loan or who have reason to know that such property has been abandoned must provide you with this statement. You may have reportable income or loss because of such acquisition or abandonment.
Gain or loss from an acquisition generally is measured by the difference between your adjusted basis in the property and the amount of your debt canceled in exchange for the property, or, if greater, the sale proceeds. If you abandoned the property, you may have income from the discharge of indebtedness in the amount of the unpaid balance of your canceled debt.
You also may have a loss from abandonment up to the adjusted basis of the property at the time of abandonment. Losses on acquisitions or abandonments of property held for personal use are not deductible. See Pub. 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets, for more information.

Tax give somebody the third degree?

My boyfriend chose not to have any money taken out of his checks while workin this former year. He has 10,827 as his total wages and 0 for tariff withheld. According to the federal tax guidlines he will owe $1,233. Can he be exempt for this because he is a college student or because his parents still claim him as a dependent?


Answers: No.
No, he can't.

In PS, he will owe under withholding cost as well. If he looked at the W-4 form, it give the requirements of claiming exempt from withholding.

In order to claim exempt you have to have no charge liability in the previous year (2006) and expect to own no liability in the current year (2007). Being a college student does not exempt a creature from paying taxes.
NO. However based on your info provided, I estimate his tariff liability to be about $570. It appears you of late used the tax table without deduct his eligible standard deduction.

His best bet is to engineer a rough copy of 1040EZ and follow the steps on the front and the instructions on the back.

Below are the IRS trellis addresses that will display both the 1040EZ form and the Instruction booklet for form 1040EZ
nope - he should own had money taken out of his check - big mistake...
