He will have to get an ITIN if he does not have a social security number.  You may be ineligible for some deductions, but you can file as Married Filing Jointly if he has an ITIN.

You can request a free print-out of your year 2000 - 1040 form from the IRS.  If you require copies of the attachments there is a fee.  I believe it is in the neighborhood of $40.00\n\nYou can also call the IRS and discuss your questions with an IRS representative.  You will only be entitled to ask questions about your own tax form.  So, if you filed 'married filing jointly' make sure your spouse is with you when you call.

lol, I'm with Teri. I would say contact a tax professional in the state that he will be filing and they should have those answers, as state tax laws vary state to state. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. :)

Depending upon the country in which she lives, an income tax treaty between the US and her country of residence could affect the answer to this question.  The following discussion assumes no treaty applies.\n\nUnder IRS rulings, a qualified plan distribution is bifurcated into a piece that is compensation (employer contributions) and a piece that is investment income (earnings).  The investment income piece is always treated as US source income subject to withholding (when paid to a nonresident alien).  The compensation piece will be US source only to the extent the employee's services were performed in the US.  If all your services were performed in the US, then all the income will be US source and potentially subject to withholding.\n\nThe IRS took the position in Rev. Rul. 79-388 that the compensation piece is not effectively connected to a US trade or business because the employee was not employed in the US during the taxable year of payment.  Therefore, in the absence of a treaty, all US source amounts will be subject to US tax at 30%.  This tax is colleced by withholding at the source.\n\nThese are general comments only and you should consult a tax advisor for definitive advice as well as a full exploration of how the general rules will apply on your specific facts.\n\n*************************\nCorrection\n\nThe Code now provides that income from the performance of services that is deferred to a later year is still treated as effectively connected income when received.\n\nHow this provision would interact with rules relating to income in respect of a decedent, and the fact that the recipient would be a person other than the person who performed the services, are issues I would want to research further.

No problem with it. If he has a relatives in Canada, who will take his finansial obligation, if he has a permission to stay in UK, then - no problem for sure.It will take 2-3 days.

First of all, the "marriage penalty" is actually a married benefit now.  The tax rates are different for married couples in a positive way, as you can tell by looking at pages 65-76 of the 1040 instructions (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf).  \n\nSecond, I'm surprised that $1,600 didn't cover your taxes.  \n\nLooking up your tax in the tax table (assuming you took the standard deduction of $10,000 and the two personal exemptions you were allowed adding up to $6,400) for married filing jointly) the tax on the $8,600 of taxable income would be just $863, which is far less than the $1,600 that you say was withheld.  \n\nAnd yes, as previous answerers have mentioned, it is true that you can claim a zero on your W4, which would have given you withholding of somewhere between $1,850 and $2,000.  \n\nHowever, I think that I have proved that your empoyer did in fact pull out enough money to cover your income tax on the income you received from that employer.\n\nUnless your wife's income and other income in the return totaled over $7000 and you had no additional withholding, you should have got a refund this year.

I understand where you are coming from with this. My husband is Canadian and the Immigration Department keeps him jumping through hoops.\n\nEver since 911, the regulations have tightened up but the keeping of his money has been a common practice for a very long time. Supporting the immigration process is a huge drain on the reserve so they have a policy of keeping money sent to them. I don't agree with it but there is nothing that can be done.\n\nThat is, nothing can be done unless you fight for it. Contact your local immigration office and file a complaint if you really want the money back. I caution you though, just like all human enterprises, even the immigration office isn't above human emotions. Anger someone and he might be put on the next plane out of here. Immigration has as much power, if not more, than the FBI. A single immigration officer has the power to make or break your case.\n\nGo through the hoops exactly as they require. EXACTLY. Do not deviate, ever. It sounds like he should have applied for citizenship, or perhaps he missed something along the way, an appointment, a letter of comformation, anything. They only need one person to say no. Your family memeber will need many people to say yes.\n\nI suggest a letter from each of the following; his employer, landlord, attny, 3 business owners, friends and family. Make copies of these letters, send them with the appeal (see website below for address), send to local mayor, Govenor, Senator and State Rep(s).\n\nMake sure he doesn't work while in denied status. You can do fund raisers through your churches or schools to help support them until this is figured out. The United Way, on the first two days of each month has money for rent/mortgages. Be first in line for them for only up to 2 times a year. \n\nI wish your family luck. Goddess Bless.

I can't comment on Canadian tax law.  The American (I'll interpret that to mean US citizen) is subject to US tax law regardless of residence or source of income.  The link below is an IRS FAQ for US Citizens living Abroad.  I saw at least 3 questions that specifically mention Canada.  I don't know any of the rules, but this should be a good place to start researching.

If your wife didn't live in your household at any time during the last six months of the year, from the info in your question you'd probably be eligible to file as head of household, which would be much more favorable taxwise than married filing separately.\n\nIf she did live there at any time since July 1, then your choices are married filing separately or married filing joint.  Filing separately, you lose money on some things like child tax credit and any child care expenses if you have them.  Filing joint might be an option if you're on reasonably good terms, but if not, could have its own problems.\n\nGood luck.  Sounds like you've got your hands full.

hmmmmmmm Im not sure, your Tax preparer should be able to tell  you....if you had them done by yourself, you should be able to call and ask a CPA and see when they should be in.

"my job takes out single on the taxes"....if by this you mean that you claim "1" on your W2 at work....then it doesn't matter much.\n\nHere's how it works: you decide how much your employer witholds from your paycheck in anticipation of tax time the following year. You could claim 0, 1, 2, all the way up to nine. The IRS provides a handy worksheet to assist you in determining that magic number but in my experience, I always end up not witholding enough. Basically what a W2 boils down to is if you want to get money back at tax time, claim 0 (and the IRS has access to that witheld $$, interest free for the entire year...). If you want the majority of your $$ now and don't mind that you'll have to pay come tax time, claim 2 or above (be careful.....the higher the number, the more you'll have to pay). If you'd like to break even, with either a little bit of a refund or a little bit to pay, then claim 1.\n\nWith regards to being married, if you are filing jointly, you may end up being taxed more due to your combined income. You once were making $25K and now with the wife $45K, you'll be moved into a different tax bracket. I imagine that it won't effect you much this tax year since you were married at the end of 05. It might make a big change in 07 for this year. Consult your tax advisor about that. They'll have information on how you can maximize deductions and such.

Sorry to here about that.  I am a Canadian and married to an American woman for over 8 years.  Still love her and not abusive.  As far as I know, he can be deported if all he has is a green card.  That is not citizenship in this country or even in Canada.  It permits you to work, etc. here but it does not protect you from exportation.  Your daughter or you signed a promise to support order for however many years.  I think it's 10.  You may not want to make him too upset till you find out more on that one as you or her may be responsible for supporting him.  He is eligible for citizenship at this point and, if nothing is done (ie. criminal charges for abuse, etc.) soon, it will be too late.  If your grandchild was born in the US, that child is a US citizen and cannot be taken from the country without a court order or permission.  Hope this bit helps.

Call the IRS.  They have a help line for people in your situation, and 4/15 is fast approaching!

Well, hopefully you stay married, keep each other happy and have kids. Legally it allows you to file your taxes together. If you put single on your W4 (the witholding form for your employer) it will withhold more taxes, and then when you file your taxes together, you have a good chance for a nice sized refund.
