If you are talking about barter it is taxable.

I think until it gets paid or until you hire an attorney. \nI hope you would like to see tax reform. We can pay taxes and not have to feel oppressed by the tax collector.

No.  This is a no-brainer.  But don't take my word for it - call the IRS directly, they will actually tell you what the law allows.

I found that just calling the IRS was the quickest way to get information on what we were facing with the Capital Gains tax.  They were pretty dry on the phone, but had all the information I needed.

The IRS is an agency of the Treasury Dept.  Relax.  :)

dear, bubba\n i most certainly do believe in a flat rate tax,the thousands put out of work in the irs would give me a simple joy to know that they have to feel yhe cold hard truth of a free market econ. as someone who is paying 11% of my gross income to taxes(more than dick cheney) i would love to see a flay rate that would treat us all as equals.\n\n but alas, this will never happpen. if you make the laws you will ,make them to protect or advocate yourself and you nor i will ever be in that position, but i'll keep up the hope\n&#92;\nmy vote is for pres. bubba

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

I am all for anything that replaces the current tax structure. It is unwieldy and unfair. There are several good proposals on the table including the flat tax and national sales tax. The problem is getting legislators to actually address the issue. It has come up several times and the people proposing it in Congress get shouted down as radical thinkers. It should also be noted that the IRS is a huge bureaucracy and they are not going to go gentle into that dark night.\n\nsslpatt: Actually if you would take the time to examine the National Sales tax plan proposed last year you would find that it has built in exemptions for low income people.

I would say that I agree with the no attack ads.  The electoral system also has serious issues. The idea of the presidents salary coming from a check box on your tax form might not be a bad idea but I believe that it is far past time to reform the tax issue and do away with income tax altogether. The fair tax as it has been presented by Neal Boortz is an exceptional idea that spreads the taxes evenly amongst ALL.

STINKIN LICONLN!!!\n\n\nIn 1862, during the Civil War, President Lincoln and Congress created the office of Commissioner of Internal Revenue and enacted an income tax to pay war expenses. The position of Commissioner still exists today. The Commissioner is the head of the Internal Revenue Service.

This argument has been around for a long time and is still going on.  The problem is that there is not a single taxing authority for the filing and collection of sales tax monies.  So if your business sold items in all 50 states to 10 different counties in each state you could have to file 500 or more different sales tax returns sending money to 50 different places, etc etc etc.

The IRS? Now it is their fault?

I watched only long enough to see it was about the 16th amendment not being legally ratified, and therefore we didn't have to pay income tax.  \n\nI refer you to this page to see a response.  The final rebuttal is at the bottom.  \nhttp://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_127.html

That's one of the issues that needs addressing.  The other big one for me is the fair tax plan.

Guilty on the taxes. Also guilty of being a self-centered jerk.\n\nA divorce is not an excuse to skip paying your taxes. That is absolutely nuts. People who make $20,000 a year still pay THEIR taxes when they get divorced.\n\nMost people on the jury won't be making $60,000 a year---never mind $1 million over a few years. He's going to get zero sympathy and if he trots out his divorce records and the jury sees the assets he shared with his wife he will be putting gold-plated nails in his coffin.\n\nSo tell him to pay up.. this attitude really irritates me.  I would convict him and recommend jail time plus fines. Heck, I want to kick his butt right now and I don't even know the guy---but I do hope his ex took his self-centered hide to the cleaners.\n\nHope this helps and the guy wakes up. If not, I hope he goes to jail.
