Only if you are a major corporation and/or a really rich person that does not need a tax cut.  I'm too poor to get a tax cut. Billioaires for Bush

No that was income earned in 2004, just refunded to you in 2005.

That would be "double dipping" and is frowned upon. You could, however, review what your refund would look like if you just took the federal deductions and didn't receive the mileage checks.

The Inland Revenue did this to me too when i reapplied for my tax credits in April of this year. They said i had earned £2,500 more than i had declared, and through this i owed them the money and they have stopped my credits until April of next year. I too am a single parent, they tell us to go back to work and we will benefit but we dont at all. What we earn we end up paying back out. I used to get help with my rent when i first went back to work too,  now that has stopped and im to pay out the full amount of rent which is £98.00pwk. Personally i would be better off on the social, although i dont want to be part of the people that take money off the state to live on and receive handouts. I  wanted to do right by my family and earn my way through life. Good luck hun hope all goes well for you but its a crap system dont you think. xx

What tax cuts?  If they cut your taxes, they will get it back another way...ie: gas prices,  etc.

As mentioned earlier no.  However, if you chose to direct deposit the refund, it will cut down the time by a couple of weeks.

Nope.  My taxes are high enough as it is.  The key word here is Illegal.

no no no but they do deduct taxes on the tips that you have claimed ...but if they ask you how many tips you made only report 15 % of the tips you have made....to many ppl take advantage of immergrants because they dont know the laws!!

Well, make certain you check this with your tax professional because mine has always said this is only for specific types of items such as an automobile.\n\nIt was certainly not my intention to insult anyone, I thought I was making a light joke. I apologize if I hurt your feelings.\n\nBut I do know in the past that we had asked about deducting sales taxes at H & R and were told that this had very strict limitations. She could have been wrong because they use a lot of temp help around tax time. Conversely, there is a person who asked a question because they now owe an additional $4400.00 to the IRS because of mistakes.\n\nThat really was all I meant.

Not unless they expressly said that they were and you confirmed that your fee was on that basis.\n\nIf they misrepresented (i.e. we are not talking about a later ruling by the IRS) then you may well have recourse due to fraudulent misrepresentation.\n\nEither way time to up the billing rate :-)

15% is not a whole number. It is .15 which is pretty close to 1/6. If you are paying tax you can bet that you will pay $1.43 for the tax which is a total of $10.93--another reason why math is so important--so you don't get overcharged.

IRS says you can deduct resume and travel and transportation expenses.  I have heard portion on your internet connectivity as well, but don't quote me on that.

No.\n\nI could imagine that some stores woudll use that as a reason to get you in, but in reality the Sales Tax still must be paid. In relaity what they are doing is lowering the price by that 6-8% (or whatever your tax rate is)

well let's see, you got your federal taxes, then you got your provincial taxes, on top of that you have yer surtaxes, capital gains taxes, goods and services taxes, provincial sales tax, etc.\n\nOn the whole we're taxed just dang way too much.\n\nIf you're really serious and want to know, here's Revenue Canada's website.  Current Individual tax package is online.

I always figure I will lose 1/3 in taxes.  When I get more, its a big surprise.  When they take more, what a disappointment...

Does your state have an income tax?  That also qualifies as a deduction.  Do you take a medical or a child care pre-tax allocation?  That can also reduce your AGI another $10k.  Do you have interest income, dividends - sell or buy stock?  Did you contribute to an IRA?\n\nIf NONE OF THE ABOVE - just $100k - $25k, then tax bill is about $9500 - divide by # of paychecks.
