Do I have to pay taxes on a qdro that I received after my divorce and if so how much?

Investments (that would be addressed with a QDRO) can be defined as pre or post tax investment. \nPre means that tax was deferred on both the basis ( the initial contribution) and the income. A post tax investment means that the basis was already taxed, so tax is only due on the income. Tradition IRA's and 40lK's ( or similar plans) can have both. \nRoth IRA's are post tax investment where the income accrues free of add'l tax.\n\nIn each case, beyond any tax,there are penalties for premature withdrawl. If the funds from the QDRO are transferred into an equivalent IRA or qualified plan, then ther is no penalty and you pay any tax  onlyat the time when you  actually take a distribution. \n\nIf you take a distribution now and do not rollover, you will be required to pay applicable penalties beyond the tax.

Its not taxed. you may have to pay taxes. I have a family of me and my son, Ig ot a tatol of $24,000 back from SSI, I didnt have to pay taxes on any of it. Cause of how many people live in my household. Call the IRs and ask them. They will be able to tell you. Also ask SSI the amount of your back pay. then call the IRs, They will be able to tell you better.

If you filed last year, then the place that did your taxes for 2004 will have one for you. If not, then call the CRA and they should have a copy of one for you. I work at a tax place, this is a liable answer, lol.

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 will want to file joint unless she owes taxes. The standard deduction for MFJ is 10,000 and MFS is 5,000. You will also get the 3,200 exemption for her that you would loose if you filed separately. If she did not work and had no EARNED income there is no benefit for you to file separately!!! I hope this helps

Unless you are tracking some type of basis (like in a partnership interest for example) it is HIGHLY unlikely the IRS will need any information from a 1994 return.  \n\nBut to answer the other parts of your question so that you don't have this issue in the future.  I scan my tax returns and supporting documentation and keep it on a $15 flash drive that is stored in my safe deposit box - I currently have 11 years on the flash drive and it is not 1/4 full so I think it will be fine for a while.  FYI - I started on floppys (one per year) and have used more advanced technology as it is available.\n\nGood luck!

You only report this if you are a trustee or issuer of an individual retirement arrangement.  However, if you get one - yes you need to report it on your 1040.

Nope. Taxes are forever! If you filed married filing jointly then you are equally responsible for the taxes.

Report your loss on schedule D.  You can subtract the loss, up to $3000 from your regular income if you are married. If not the amount is somewhat less, $1500, I believe.

No if you are still married on Dec. 31st you can file together. You also can file MFS(married filling sep) or HOH (head of household) if you have a dependent. If both are willing I would file together most people get back the most money that way. Some places can even tell you how much money is yours and theirs. Hope this helps you divorce is hard enough.

Unfortunately, if it wasn't written in the divorce decree, I don't think you'll be able to get anything from it. Remember, he is your ex, which means you have no ties to his pension. I know about this because of my divorce. Everything, including my pension, that was of value was put into my divorce documents. It also stated that from this point forward, everything was separate. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

It depends on what your divorce decree states.  If it gives him the right to claim the child on his taxes, the only way you could ever legally claim the child is if you have your ex's written permission, specifically, Form 8332 Release of Claim to Exemption for Child of Divorced or Separated Parents.  The advice, "the first one who files gets the deduction" is not true and eventually, the IRS will catch up with you because they do use a matching system that matches social security numbers to taxpayers' returns.

Technically no, you don´t - if tax is due (see limits above) it is due from the estate BEFORE anything is paid out to beneficiaries.  So if you have received something, it SHOULD already have been taxed unless there are special circumstances.

As you may know, NQSO (non qualifying stock options) have tax withheld at source as soon as you exercise, so theoretically you don't have to pay any estimated tax on NQSO exercises/sales (although see * below).\n\nWith Incentive Stock Options (ISO) though, the situation is quite different.\n\nIt sounds like you plan to exercise and sell your ISOs on the same day.  If so, then this is what's called a "disqualifying disposition".  In other words, you will be liable for ordinary income tax on the spread (sale price - exercise price).  \n\nIn general, the IRS wants you to pay tax in the quarter in which the related income is earned.  So you theoretically should pay the estimated tax at your standard income tax rate in the same quarter you exercise and sell ISOs.  You do this by filing an Estimated Tax payment.\n\n\nHowever, there is a way to postpone filing these taxes until your normal April next year tax return.     The following information is sourced from See http://www.fool.com/school/taxes/taxes35.htm. \n\n1.  The simplest way is just to suck it up and not worry about paying a penalty for underpayment of taxes.  Depending on how much you think you can earn on your money, and when you were supposed to pay the tax, this may be a win for you (this used to happen a lot during the dotcom/IPO days of 1999-2000).  Be wary though that you probably can't keep doing this year after year without the IRS getting on your case. \n\n2.  Alternatively, you can avoid the underpayment penalty *if* any of the following are true\n\na) you owed no tax at all in the prior tax year (and were a US citizen/resident for all of that year)\n\nb) you expect to owe less than $1000 in tax this year (unlikely, since you're exercising ISOs)\n\nc) your ordinary income tax withholding (e.g. from your wages and/or NQSO exercise) will exceed 90% of this year's tax bill.  This may happen if your ISO exercise/sale is less than around 10% of your total income for the year.\n\nd) your ordinary income tax withholding (from wages and/or NQSO) is greater than 100% of your last year's tax liability and your previous year's Adjusted Gross Income was < $150,000.   If your previous year's AGI was >= $150,000 (lucky you), then you need to pay at least 110% of last year's tax liability in order to avoid a tax underpayment penalty.\n\n\n\nClear?  As mud?\nOption d) is usually the easiest one to satisfy if you're making a large ISO exercise in this year only, particularly if you got a raise this year and are hence paying more taxes than last year anyway.\n\nHowever, you may also want to consider whether you should do an exercise and hold (for 1 year) to pay long term capital gains tax (15%) instead of your ordinary W2 income tax rate (probably 25-35%).  \n\nIf you do, you will *still* be subject to tax this year, due to the dreaded AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax), but you can use that AMT tax liability as a credit for future years when your AMT is less than your ordinary income tax.  However, that's a topic for a whole 'nother question/answer.   \n\n\n* Even with NQSOs, if the amount held at source is less than your eventual tax rate for the year,  you may be subject to tax penalties unless you meet one of the exceptions listed in a) through d) above.

Call the IRS, they will send this information to you. I got mine rather quickly. I was surprised...
