Not necessarily.  I know a really good tax guy in San Diego.  His website appears below.  If he can't help you, he can get me involved.

you don't want to find that out. penalties and interest can get costly. if you did this i suggest you amend the return asap.

Depends on your other income, if any.  Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and ask them - they're actually pretty helpful.

First? Did you tell me everything? If your paying but still have arrears issues to resolve your okay.Have no fear go to DMV and find out.No ones going to arrest you for all the arrears but you need to start applying extra moneys to that in good faith ASAP.I had 38,000. in arrears for a long time until I cleaned them all up. The only thing that happened to me was the IRS would take my tax returns every year which was a good thing to catch up my arrears with that extra payment yearly. It made it shorter to handle in the end. So get over being mad at her and all file your taxes and pay a bit extra every month too..if the family court  calls you in... you made an effrot to pay her the arrears when you could.. in good faith.Which is better than most cases.

Go to the IRS website and search for Publication 15.  I'm sure that there is a similar publication for California.

Like the above guy said, youhave to file an amended return. Either go to the IRS website or maybe call H&R Block.

Based on your tax question earlier and this posting.... I am thinking you may need a bit more help than a tax attorney.\nYour 34 years old..(according to your last post)... It is time to grow up...

If you already went this far, you have exhaust all adm procedure within the Service, the next step will be going to court\nYou may also want to post a bond to freeze the interest on potential tax you owe

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.

I'm not sure if you are asking a question.  If I got your story straight, you decided to do your own taxes instead of taking them to H&R Block.  No problem.  Most people can do their own taxes rather easily using software.  They may miss a deduction or two, but usually get things correct.  Now, it sounds like you typed in an extra "0" and now owe $4,000.  Do you owe the $4,000 because you got too much of a refund and the IRS found out about the extra 0?  If so, then you already have the money to pay back.  The IRS paid you too much and now want back the overage.  Just give them back the extra they gave you.  Next year, when your refund looks too good to be true, double or triple check for errors first before submitting.  An extra $4,000 should have set off flags in your head.\n\nOr, did the extra 0 cause the IRS to "think" you owe an extra $4,000?  If that is the case, you can fix (amend) your return to show that the extra 0 was a mistake and that you really don't owe the $4,000.

No, none.\nYou can hold the property for one year and pay capital gain rate.\n15% I believe.\nStill- if you turn too many over the IRS can come in and reclassify you as a dealer and you're owe retroactively.\n\n         The real tax bennies are in landlording.

If you had bought it in December you could file it this year but since you bought it in January you will have to wait until next year, but a tax preparer should be able to handle that for you when you tell them about the vehicle.

Shouldn't be too much trouble...you can go back 3 years.  If you owe, like the first person said, you'll have to pay what you owe and interest.  it shouldn't be too bad though.

Do you mean for taxes?  If you mean for unclaimed property, the state controllers office:\n\nhttp://www.sco.ca.gov/col/ucp/index.shtml\n\nIf you mean for taxes, you will know when you have completed your tax documents for your state return.
