Taxes Questions and Answers

Can i get a copy of my w-4 from a former employer?




Answers: Most companies will retain a copy for about 1-3 years after an employee leaves. So if you're within this time frame it couldn't hurt to ask.

I can't imagine why you'd need it though.
Not sure why you would want your old W-4...but if the company still has it, you should be given a copy.

Do you mean your W-2?
Probably, but why?

Any levy adviser out near? Need comfort in connection with W-2.?

I received a settlement from a former employer. My settlement agreement stated I would receive a W-2 from my employer. I have not. (I thought they be to be postmarked by Jan. 31st.) My lawyer said I may not find one & to ask my tax individuals. They said to ask my lawyer. I contacted a 2nd export tax guy, he said the W-2 should come from my lawyer. If it help, my settlement check had federal & state taxes taken out and be cut directly to me from the employer. (Also, my lawyer worked on a contingency-fee argument and rec'd her check from the employer, and is supposed to get a 1099.) What do I do in a minute? I really want to get my taxes done soon, and this is holding up the process.


Answers: If you own the settlement check stub with adjectives the withholding numbers a Tax Pro can generate a substitute W-2 for you. Even without the check stub, a virtuous tax pro can closely estimate the W-2 using your other paychecks and the total network amount of the check you received for the settlement. If your Tax Pro doesn't know how to do this, get another Tax Pro.
It's a really bleak idea to database taxes with a paystub base on your best guess of what the W-2 will look like.

it doesn't nouns like you're going to carry a W-2, so what you need to do is contact the IRS and start a claim against the former employer. They hold a department that deals next to people surrounded by your situation. You probably will not be able to record your return as soon as you hoped, unless you want to file in a minute with the info you own and file an amended 1040X then when you get the rest of your info.

The IRS will attempt to contact the employer and they hold a minimum time period contained by which to reply. If there is none, next you can file next to the paystub, with IRS approval. They may own other options available. Good Luck.

Claiming departed due support on taxes?

I am owed $47,000 in chronological due spousal support and child support. The state is garnishing his wages now. Do I hold to claim those payments on my taxes since it is in arrears or bygone due?


Answers: Child support is not income to the recipient nor is it deductible by the party paying it. (The person paying it may be capable of claim the dependency exemption for the child but that is another issue.)

Alimony is taxable income to the receiver and deductible (as an income adjustment) by the person paying it.
No. It is single income once you have received the reimbursement.

Good luck.

Are child support payments considered taxable income?

No. Child support payments are neither deductible by the payor nor taxable to the payee. When you total your gross income to see if you are required to file a excise return, do not include child support payments received. For additional information, refer to Tax Topic 422, Nontaxable Income, or Publication 504, Divorced or Separated Individuals.

You do not hold to claim child support payments made to you, either on going or arrears.
