Is it SSI or no?\n\nIf it is SSI then no you do not have to file with the IRS.\n\nSSD on the other hand im not sure if that gets taxed or not but if it is not axed then no you would not have to file.

You file your articles with the Texas Secretary of State.  Forms are available at TX SOS website (see link below) and I'm sure the mailing address is on the form or elsewhere on the site.  There will be a filing fee, I don't know what Texas' is off the top of my head, they're typically anywhere from $50-300.  You're going to need an Employer Identification Number, go to IRS website (click on link below) and fill in the online Form SS-4.  Also, any corporation needs to have bylaws, just Google "texas bylaws forms" and see if you can get some for free.  And, finally, use your EIN to open a separate bank account for the corporation, very important to keep personal and business funds separate.

No, your teenager *probably* doesn't need to file a return. However, you could go to the IRS website (see link below) and file for free through the Free File Alliance. This would *probably* allow him to get back his $9, and it's good practice (better to start learning about taxes before he needs to, rather than waiting until it's too late).

Did your husband receive a 1099-Misc?  This would be reported on IRS form Schedule C.  Then you can deduct all expenses related to the job.  Then you will need to fill out Form schedule SE to figure out how much Self-employment tax you owe.  \n\nHere is a link to the IRS website that should answear any other questions you have about self-employment.\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98846,00.html\n\n\nAnyone with a social security card already has a TIN or Taxpayer Id Number.

You will add a Schedule C form to your 1040 and you will not be able to file a 1040ez, i.e. you'll have to itemize to get the business deduction, but in  your case it will probably be worth it.  And yes, officially you'll need receipts, but if you never get audited...  \n\nMaryland will (most likely) take your net income from the federal form.

You are required to file a return if you have income, whether you owe taxes or no.  The Government wants you to report income and THEY will decide if you owe taxes.  A tax return is not just a request for a "return", you report earnings on tax return and figure amount owed.  I'd plead ignorance and get in touch with IRS.at the nearest office.

If you have a 1099, than you need to file a Federal form 1040 with a Sched C, and likely a Sched. SE as well as any other forms you need. If you look at the Sched C you'll see most of the things you can use to reduce your income already listed. Mileage, and depreciation are very tricky so you'll want to ask for help, most likely.  \nNote* Don't mix up your supplies with your assets!

He is correct, they don't send it.  But, if you don't send it on your own they will send you a letter that says they know you have made a certain amount and they didn't recieve a 1099 and why did they not receive it. Is he not well-versed in non-profit tax regulations?  Any income you claim as a non-profit goes back to the IRS.  If you file taxes annually on the business it goes back to the IRS.  If you make under $100,000 you should file a 1099EZ and if you make over $100,000 you should file a 1099.  The IRS doesn't have to match or do anything.  If you have a non-profit business of your own, then you need to go to IRS.GOV and start pulling the information you need to file your taxes correctly.  You will be audited and/or sued by the IRS if you don't.  Seek the help of other non-profits for advice on this.  Don't let it go.

You usually don't have to file taxes if your income is less than $8,200 single, $16,400 married. More than that, and Uncle Sam wants a return, even if you owe no tax. You might be able to exclude your income under for Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, but you still have to file the return.\n\nThe good news is that if you don't owe any tax and you do file the returns voluntarily, you won't owe penalties because the penalties are based on underpaid taxes.

You fill out the form 1040 (follow the instructions).  I am assuming you are younger and the form 1040EZ would more than likely suffice for you.  Fill it out and then mail it to your "branch" of the IRS for your state.
