If I am a resident in Louisiana (New Orleans) will I be concidered a Katrina victim (by IRS standards)?

Most of the provisions for hurricane Katrina victims apply only to individuals who main home was in the affected area on August 25, 2005. There are a couple of things you might be able to use as a volunteer, such as the increase in the standard mileage rate for charitable use of vehicles and the exclusion from gross income mileage reimbursements to charitable volunteers. \n\nSome of it is pretty complicated, so here's a link:\n\nhttp://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=152734,00.html\n\nAnd thanks for volunteering.

just call them & tell them. the IRS doent care who you are unless you owe them money. just tell them you wish to remain unknown and the'll setup an audit for the person you're reporting.

It's a waste of our tax dollars. New Orleans is 60-65 feet below sea level. And is basically an island in a sense (picture a bowl in a bath tub full of water). Not to mention this is not the first time they had this storm. I feel no pitty for most of them down there. Nor do I support the fact my tax dollars are being wasted in New Orleans.\nI really think New Orleans and the the state it resides in. Should pay back money from tax payers over a period of time. Why you may ask? Because Stupidity is not an excuse.

At least for TN purposes, there will not be any state income tax exposure.  However, you should determine whether you are legally domiciled in KY before filing - that is, voting rights, driver's license, etc. You may have trouble filing differently for federal purposes vs. state purposes since a state revenue agency may easily reconcile the total taxable income amount on your federal income tax return.

To be quite frank, I have no clue about half of the things. But let me contribute my tad bit of knowlage.\n\nMy family orginally came from New Orleans, but that was about 15 years ago. But nonetheless, we still have distant family members down there. When Katrina hit, some of them went up north to live with us (temporaroly). Every now and then we would get a call from some kind of insureance, and you wouldn't be on the phone with them for longer then 10 minuts. \nThey left to go back home (...January?), and I've only heard from then once, whitch was to tell us they arrived saftly. So I guess that means, everything is going fine.

There were deferrals for some kinds of debts for persons displaced or whose banks were affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. If you were a resident of Louisiana or Mississippi in the affeected areas, check your state's web site.

yes but not directly.  There's a pass through site that handles the payments.  the IRS's site has info on it.

If you are asking about the money that the friend or family member lended you, I don't think there would be a tax consequence unless they asked for one when they loaned you the money.  Otherwise, I would look up New York State's government website and see what they have to say about loans and the taxation on that.  Good luck!

I live in Slidell, LA on the northshore of Lake Ponchatrain and can tell you that the levies are barely up to the standards before Hurricane Katrina.  While politicians in the state and on the federal level complain and bicker, time is being wasted as the huirricane seaon is only a couple months away.  I have never lived in New Orleans directly but would advice people that it is not a safe place environmentally or sanitarily.  Basic power and water are not available to 35-50% of the New Orleans East and most of that area is virtually untouch since Katrina!!!  my career has directed me toward the MS Gulf Coast where I am seeing vast improvements to the area as opposed to New Orleans.  Please remember the Mississippi Gulf Coast when thinking of Katrina.  The devestation here is something that needs to be seen to believed.

It depends on where you live.  Go to www.irs.gov for the answer.

Yes!  \n\nIf someone owes a lot of money to the IRS and does not pay it for a long time, eventually the IRS puts liens and levies on their assets.  In drastic cases, this can result in a foreclosure.  If any of these events occurred in the past seven years, then these will show up on credit reports.  If you are in a position to run a credit check on someone, it will show up.\n\nIf they owe and pay within a reasonable period of time, however, there is no way to find this information legally.

If they have already contacted you regarding the money, there is no statute of limitations on collecting.  Howefver, they have three years from the date you filed your return to examine your returns.  Once they have done that, they can take their time.  However, if they beleive you have committed fraud, they can audit EVERY tax return you ever filed.\nIf you owe them, you will have to pay.  Bankruptcy won't help since taxes are excluded from debts that get discharged.  Your best bet is to try to work out some payment plan that you can afford.  If they agree to it, DON'T default or they can demand the entire debt to be paid at once.  FYI, state and local taxing authorities make the IRS seem like kittens so don't mess around.
