Your property taxes reduce your tax liability.  In other words, if you are getting a refund, it should increase your tax refund.

You will want to keep track of your expenses on the road, keep reciepts and store them.  At the end of the year when you file your taxes, you will need to file an additional schedule such as a schedule "C".  This will allow you to itemize your deductions (work related expenses).  Pay close attention to the total of your deductions, there are two types.  One is a national deduction based on your income, the second is your list of itemized deductions.  As you are only allowed to use one of the two; make sure to use the one that is larger, thereby earning you a larger refund on your taxes.\n\nGood Luck,\nHope this helps

Tax laws change from year to year ... best get a new copy and write it off on your taxes. \n\nMake sure the shortcut points to the correct folder. You might have to re-install it but save last year's return first.

Do you need to file an amended return, or did you not file 2003 taxes at all?\n\nI don't think any of the tax preparation web sites will do any tax year other than the present.  They may help you with an amended return.\n\nYour best bet is to read what to do if you must file a late return.  Here's the info from the IRS:

Fill out a t1 adjustment form for the tax year and add the amount of the t4 to the appropriate line on your return and apply it to the appropriate tax year. Send to CCRA, Not a problem.

You need to file a 1040X with the correct(ed) forms.  You can download the forms or order them from IRS.gov .

You need to just call the IRS.  There is a form they can provide you that shows you previous years tax data- I have forgotten the form number, but you just call them and tell them what years that you need it for, and they mail it out.  Any lender should be more than happy to use this, its just as good as a copy of your hand filled out return.

If you have last years taxes look on your 1040. I'm not sure where else to look

It is a charge.  Try to avoid turbotax in the future.  It is probably the worst tax software around.

Seek the advice of a local CPA.  Besides the taxes that are due, you'll have to pay interest and penalties.  If you haven'te made a lot of money, it might not be too painful for you. \n\nListen to your wife and make sure you file a tax return every year from now on!

Depends on how experienced that person is. It's not that difficult. I'm a CPA in Orange County and can help you, but to be honest, Turbo Tax works great. Things you'll want to have handy is your 1098 from your mortgage company (mortgage interest paid, points paid if any, property taxes paid - unless you paid them yourself instead of through impounds), DMV registration (personal property taxes paid on your car), closing statement from when you bought your house (you may find other property taxes paid that is not included on the 1098). There are other deductions that you may be able to get. Turbo Tax walks your through it. I've attached some links that you should print out and read. Regardless of who does your taxes, you should understand what's going on. :)

if you earn money, you should file a W2 form, maybe 1040 and state tax form as well...depending on how much you make, you might get a refund or might have to pay.

You will not receive a corrected w-2 for 2005 because you did get the money.  The return of the bonus becomes an expense on your 2006 tax return.  If you are a statutory employee you will deduct it with the rest of your expenses on a schedule C.  if you are not you will take it on the schedule a under business expenses on schedule A where it is subject to a 2% reduction.  be carefull though i am an accountant and some of the fast tax prep agencies can mess you up on this one.

You'll need to call the tax office and get them to send you a copy of it out in the mail. They won't be able to tell you over the phone nor will you be able to look it up for security reasons. At least thats how it works in Australia

Since you're getting the money w/o tax withholding.  You should also look into paying estimated taxes.  Otherwise, if you owe taxes when filing tax return, you might get charged with interest for the tax payment due.

If you are not keeping books - keep every receipt or invoice and get someone to do it for you.  Don't throw anything out.  Make sure you are clear on the GST and provincial taxes to be charged.\nYou can invest in a system like Quick books or Simply accounting.  They are both quite straightforward.
