I took our tax stuff to H&R Block - basic house hold, under 30,000 with a few intrest & dividen forms.  I don't think he did a good job and I am supposed to go back with one more piece of information.  He told me it would cost $295.  I thought this was a bit much.  Since I have not recieved any paper work, not signed any agreement nor completed the process; do I still have to accept the tax preperatiion and pay him or can I just take my toys and go home?

No you do not have to pay. You can just tell them that that is a bit much and you would like to go elsewhere. Get your stuff back and go someplace else. I hope you do go some where else!!

You better talk to a tax person.  If you've filed already, and took the deduction, then you'll have to amend.  But if you went to file and realized your mistake, they can help you back out your money.

My question is how did you get to that situation?  What occured to make a decision not to pay your taxes?  Job loss? Divorce? Whatever?\n\nThat would probably give me and other investors some comfort in helping you out.\n\nOn the other hand, as an investor, you don't want to throw good money after bad.  What is it that you can provide someone who may be willing to assist you?  Is there a repayment plan?\n\nHow is your credit?  Chances are you could refinance with the proceeds to go directly to paying the taxes.\n\nHope that helps.

does his paycheck show the same amount of hours each week?  Are they taking out more taxes and that's why he's getting less money?  if he's clocking in and out and they are not paying him all of his hours then you can report you should be able to report them to the Department of Labor or similiar agency.

Can he go to jail?  Yes.\n\nWill he?  Probably not.  You should probably have him go talk to a tax preparer and have them calculate what would've been filed on the previous 4 year's tax returns.  \n\nIf the return would've resulted in a refund (as is most likely the case when you have something withheld) then he/she will not be penalized for not filing the return.  \n\nThe IRS will only charge interest and penalties on returns where the taxpayer would've owed THEM money, not the returns where THEY owe the taxpayer money.\n\nHe/she should track down his W-2's for the last four years and have a preparer complete the returns for him/her.  It may end up that they can file a return and get their refund that they never filed for (for up to 3 years of returns)!\n\nHope that helps!

Here's the catch. When you sell a home, the transaction never goes beyond the county level. The only records the IRS will ever see are those provided by the bank, and what YOU tell them on your tax return. There is no space on the tax return that requires you to document how much PROFIT you made. You can buy a home for $100k, and sell lit 6 months later for $150k, but who's to say you didn't put $45k into repairs and remodeling, costs of selling, etc.? That means that you only have to declare $5k profit, IF you don't put it into another house. Don't volunteer any information, wait until they ask for it. They have to prove that you owe them money, you don't have to prove that you don't.

No, from what you wrote you did not work and had no income tax withheld.  Only income tax is refunded in the USA.  Sales tax is leaved by local governments and they have no refund procedures nor are you entitled to any of these taxes back.\n\nYour home government my have some plan to give you money for this but I don't think so.

you'll never get paid, the only people who attach tax returns is IRS, child support, and federal student loans. All the court judgement is good for is to go back to court again if he didn't keep the judgement. and if he is under the table or on welfare, what taxes will you get?

The IRS will look at your income and expenses, and they'll tell you what they think you can pay.  You can negotiate on this a little, but if they say $200 a month, you won't likely be able to negotiate it to $25 a month.\n\nAny refunds you'd be eligible for before the back taxes are paid would most likely be taken and applied to your debt.  You could adjust your withholding so you don't have a refund, but don't take it so low that you owe again, and dig yourself in deeper.

By all means. Yes! however , I wouldn't be asking nor would I be demanding. The best approach is a non-confrontational statement of facts approach that goes something like this: Our lender has sent out his appraiser to your house. The dollar amount they are willing to lend does not provide sufficient funds for us to consummate the purchase of your house at the price we thought we would be able to pay. We still would love to buy your house but to do so we would only be able to pay "X". If this is agreeable to you please let us know ASAP as we will need to continue our house search if it is not.\nOh, by the way someone has removed part of the climbing wall that we had both agreed would remain and I have 3 estimates attached to this letter for what it would cost to put it back in the condition it was in when we reached our agreement. This also needs to be addressed either thru the replacing of the missing portion of the climbing wall or the retention of "X" dollars in escrow to cover the cost. Thank you. We look forward to hearing from you and hope we can work out these details speedily.\n\nDO NOT CLOSE ESCROW UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED. Everyone else makes money when you close. The seller, lender, Realtors, title company etc. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO HAVE IT YOUR WAY UNTIL YOU CLOSE ESCROW THEN IT ALL GOES AWAY.

If you are legally employed in the US, you are entitled to your own deductions and refund. He shouldn't be able to compel you to pay him any part of your refund.

If he with held taxes on you or you were or should have been pd an a 1099. You need to go to IRS.GOV or you can call 1 800 829 1040. Tell them what is going on. They will tell you what you need to do. There might even be some money in it for you. What he is doing is wrong. You might want to find out what you have to do and go to him and say you can file or I'm going to turn you in. He might go ahead and do what is right. What he is doing is against the LAW. If you don't want him to know it is you that is fine. You don't have to tell. You are doing the right thing by filling. If he were to get audited in the future which is likely he can say that he pd you and they will want to know why you didn't file. Good luck with this!!

We just received the same check.  What have you done regarding this check.  I can't find anything out either.  Our check had the same amount and post-it saying thanks.

The fact that you tried to make payment arrangements but were unable to keep will not make this any easier.  I can't speak specfically for AZ.  Unless you can prove that you do not owe the tax I doubt that the levy will be removed.  You need to go back and set up new payment arrangements that you can stick to.  I understand that other things come up that sometimes make it difficult.  BTY, if your employer is responsible for the mistake is it possible for him/her to help you out with this?  Explain to the state of AZ why you could not keep the prior arrangements - you need to be completely honest on this point.

First of all, H & R Block makes lots of mistakes, so be careful and double check anything they tell you.  Even the IRS gives out bad answers, so always get a second opinion on anything that is questionable.\n\nIf your divorce decree spells it out, then you are the one who gets to claim him.  Your husband will get in trouble with the IRS, not you, even if it does inconvenience you by having them audit your return.  But if your divorce decree doesn't specifiy who gets to claim him, then who ever provides over half of his support during the year is allowed to claim him.  Support means housing, food, clothing, medical care, educational costs.  You should keep track of those expenses.  Does your ex pay child support?  If your son lived with him for 7 months or he paid child support for a year, then he could be allowed to claim him as a dependent, assuming the divorce decree does not specify which parent gets to claim your son.\n\nMy advice is in the future when you are sending in your tax return attach a copy of the divorce decree, highlighting the area where it says you are the one allowed the deduction.  You will have to file by mail, but it could answer any questions the IRS has and won't delay the return as long as it would should they have to request the info from you.

I use an accountant because she pays for any mistakes and she knows " Tax Loop Holes that are totally legal " .Besides the IRS can charge more interest rates than anyone else I know .LOL  Taxes are one of those things you make sure is done by someone you can charge if done wrong . H&R block didn't get the breaks my accountant has .Might be basic forms they use or something .Ask around your area or phone book .
