You have things to handle on two fronts.\n\nFirst, the IRS.  For 1040 tax under $10k and no other problems, federal law guarantees that the IRS will enter into a repayment plan with you if you ask for one.  If you're talking about 2005 taxes, the IRS won't even realize there's a problem for months.  Don't compound your worries by stressing about the IRS for now.  Especially given your circumstances, things are probably going to be fine on that front.\n\nSecond, H&R Block.  What you have is a dispute over whether they provided you with accurate services.  They may have a way to elevate these issues within their company, which is a good place to start.\n\nIf that doesn't work, then your next step might need to be consulting with an attorney.  Your local bar association can probably help you find a reputable one, if you need help with that.  Lots of attorneys will give free initial consultations.  You could also advise law firms that, given your circumstances, you might be a good candidate for free help "pro bono publico" (for the public good).  Some states and some law firms require attorneys to do a certain number of pro bono hours every year, and helping you out should count.\n\nAn experienced attorney will be able to tell you whether you've got a real gripe or just a misunderstanding that can be cleared up in some other way.  If H&R Block has really messed up, the attorney will probably be able to get their attention on the subject in a way that most folks can't.\n\nFinally, you can raise concerns about tax preparers with the IRS directly.  You can contact the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility at opr@irs.gov.  I hope that helps.  Good luck.

I really feel sorry for you. You made $272,000 and you want to reduce your taxes by claiming the clothing you donated?? First of all, you must have a receipt for any donations over $25 or over a total of $250 for small donations. That still isn't going to reduce your taxes by much. And it's too late to do anything about last year's income, anyway. Here's what to do this year. Give a lot more money to charity... and get a receipt.

Well considering you are "rich" guess you didn't pay your fair share.\nJust playing wit cha.\n\nYour tax rate will be determined after your deductions...real estate, educational loans, medical bills, capitol losses and gains etc, but it should be about 25% over the base rate 29K.\n\nhttp://www.savewealth.com/taxes/rates/single/\n\nGood luck and pray we can get a flat tax bill passed through congress ( you'd be downto 17%)

If the problem is with the IRS, you should call the IRS ombudsman, whose number should be in the phone book under US Government - IRS.\n\nIf your only income is from SSDI, your distribution can only be assessed for taxes and only up to 15%.\n\nI don't see how any information from your previous employer is relevant to anything.

Call the IRS and ask.  They'll help ya through it all the way.  I was also told that my foreign earned income wasn't taxable becuz my job's church-related...come to find out, that's THEIR country's law, not the US's.  I was lucky enough to find the error and get filed...don't waiste time listening to people who don't really know.

Hey, Fireguy,\n\nInteresting question, thanks for holding it open for me.  I hope you post your results when you resolve this.\n\nI called a friend who is a city councilmember in the San Diego area.\n\nHe said to document your problem and submit a request, in person, for a corrected W-2 to your payroll department.\n\nHe said that in his city, El Cajon, that if you do not recieve COMPLETE cooperation, he would welcome your call and help you solve your problem.  He is certain your city council will feel the same.\n\nIt is possible his concern is rooted in a deep concern for your overall welfare and well being.  But, if not, it is likely his reason that under this fact pattern the city paid too much employer taxes!\n\nFor example, if your four months were about 12,000, his city paid about $918 too much!  \n\nDuring the 4 months you did not work, the city does not owe the tax.  If you do not correct the situation, they can not recover their overpayment.\n\nI hope this sounds clear from the city council point of view.\n\nOf course, without a corrected W-2, a tax professional can determine, as you likely could, the correct amounts of other taxes and withholdings, with the understanding that your gross pay is overstated by the 4 months of Workers Comp.\n\nBut, those amounts will all be different than what is on your W-2 now.  The FICA, and other taxes you already paid, are overstated on your current W-2.\n\nYou can always call a professional and ask their opinion before committing them to your return.  Obviously, with a corrected W-2, you can easily handle your own and save paying anyone else a fee.\n\nPlease let me know if I can help further.  I would like to know that you continued to handle your tax forms and paid the lowest possible tax.\n\nGood Luck.\n\nPS I am a volunteer for my local fire department north of San Vicente, Baja, Mexico.  Our ´new´ engine is a 1961 model that we are very grateful for the donation from the states.  500 gallons!!  Have you ever ridden on the ´hang onto the back´ type? LOL You should see us!!

I'm not clear if the refund is from restating your 2004 return, or if your 2005 return is enough to pay the 2004 payment and leave more to be refunded.  If the second applies, use the "Where's My Refund?" link below.  If you amended you 2004 return, amendments are processed differently that 'normal' returns and always take longer.  It sounds like they should have had time to resolve the issue by now.  Try calling 1-800-TAX-1040.  You could also try going to the nearest IRS office and talking to someone in person.

Ummmmmm, the IRS doesn't care that you didn't make the full bonus, they are only interested in the money you did make. Because you never actually made the full bonus, that money never existed except for on paper; therefore, there is no way to take a loss for what you didn't make.

Find another job fast... If your employer doesn't file this infomation with IRS and you file your income, they will come audit the employer sooner of later. And if your employer is telling you not to report your income and you are depositing your income in a bank... you will flag the IRS eventually yourself. It is important to report your income. Don't let an underhanded employer strong arm you into breaking the law. Like I said... find another job fast with someone who respects the law and you.

File your taxes.  I run a home based business (graphic design) and learned the hard way.  I made $396 in my first year (started in December of that year), and didn't see the need it was small.\n\nI got a HUGE fine from the IRS.  Luckily I got it cleared because I had an atty do the work, but I learned - no matter how small, report it.  It isn't worth the headache.

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 .

Well, make certain you check this with your tax professional because mine has always said this is only for specific types of items such as an automobile.\n\nIt was certainly not my intention to insult anyone, I thought I was making a light joke. I apologize if I hurt your feelings.\n\nBut I do know in the past that we had asked about deducting sales taxes at H & R and were told that this had very strict limitations. She could have been wrong because they use a lot of temp help around tax time. Conversely, there is a person who asked a question because they now owe an additional $4400.00 to the IRS because of mistakes.\n\nThat really was all I meant.

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?

I highly recommend getting professional tax help like H&R Block.  If you have problems, they can become much more difficult if you don't have someone who is not personally involved and can think logically and clearly and who has dealt with the IRS/State tax agencies.  Getting emotionally involved only exacerbates the problem.  It may cost a bit to get the help, but it may end up saving you big $!

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!!
