We'll have to wait and see.  It was supposed to expire for 2006, but there is legislation before Congress to extend it.  Currently, the Schedule A available at irs.gov does not include a line for it.  That does not mean that it is final.

Not sure, but it sounds as though you may asking about a resale certificate, so that you're exempt from paying sales tax on products for resale. If so, contact the state agency that deals with sales tax issues.

Sales taxes are claimed on your Schedule A (If you own your home, or pay Real Estate taxes, this is where sales taxes are deductible, but only for Cars, Boats or home building materials.)  The alternative is keeping ALL your receipts for the year and adding up all your sales tax for the year to put in this area of the form instead of any state income tax paid.

im assuming youre talking about the sales tax added to each monthly payment.  if so, you are NOT allowed to deduct this amount as an itemized deduction on schedule A.\n\nfor 2006 you are no longer allowed to deduct sales tax instead of state and local taxes paid.\n\nthe only taxes you are allowed to deduct are real estate taxes, state and local taxes paid and foreign tax.

If you are using this for a business purpose and can justify that to the IRS, and your employer does not reimburse this expense, then yes, you may deduct it, subject to the 2% floor (2% of your adjusted gross income)for miscellaneous itemized deductions.

Well, since she doesn't use her breasts just for business, then that would be a big fat NO. Unless it's something that you use solely for your business,9 times out of 10 you cannot write that off. Uniforms used exclusively for work and nowhere else, makeup used exclusively for work, etc would be tax deductable. I don't think you could even use depreciation on that. Hope this helps.

Nope, not on income taxes.  If you purchase stuff from the PX or the Commisary then that is sales tax free.  But Income taxes are normal as if you were anyother job.  If you could try to register in TX or WY cause they have no state income taxes but thats the only way around that!

Every filer is allowed one exemption for themselves and one for each member of their immediate family (i.e. spouse and children).  For 2005, each exemption was worth $3,200 and it is deducted from your Adjusted Gross Income.  You do not need to itemize in order to take advantage of this.\n\nThis deduction was actually added to the tax code way back when for the benefit of one senator who had a large family.

Absolutly not! Your Federal tax refund is untaxable income. While a portion of a refund is in the form of the taxes over withheld from pay, if you are over twentyfive, single or over eighteen, can not be claimed on anothers taxes and have minor children who are your dependants and live with you at least half the year and you provide over half their support, you can get cash back on your refund from the Child Care Credit and the Earned Income Credit.\n\nBoth of these credits can go towards taxes owed the government, with any amount left over being given to you. These are amounts not earned by you, therefor the are considered unearned income. There are many forms of income which are considered unearned income and is taxable income on state and federal income statements.\n\nHowever, these amounts are not taxable by the Federal Government. Now, you would need to check with your state to see if any of these amounts are taxed in your state. Some states tax and some don't. I reccoment using a good tax service like H&R Block or another simular service. While they charge a small fee, and shop around for the best deal, all fees are not the same company to company, it is well worth having a proffesional prepare your return. This way you are sure to get back as much as possible. You are often given insurance that they did not make a mistake too, which can really bring releaf from the worry and stress of "Did I do it right?". If they do make a mistake and it is their fault, not due to your not providing all the information, which they ask for as they start the return step by step, they will pay up to a certain amount of anything the IRS determines you owe, and will also go with you to the meetings with the IRS. This is very reasurring for many.\n\nIf you are comfortable with the software programs which allows you to do your return at home, great. But please remember it is only a computer and can and does make mistakes. If you do not have a high level of knowlege of what the tax laws are, then you could easily allow an error to pass by uncorrected. Just this year somebody I know was told by one of those programs that the house she sold last year was not exempt from the taxable gains tax on the sale of a home. Now she knew it should have been exempt and kept trying to fix the problem yet the program returned the "Sorry this residence is not exempt from the capital gains tax exemption on the sale of a main residence" and announced this outragous sum she supposedly owned the Federal Government. She did get rattled finally after it told her this after seven attempts to correct it and get it to say the right thing. Finally it did it right and came back with "Great News! Your home is exempt from the taxable gains tax!". If she had not known so surely her home was exempt she may have accepted what it kept telling her and sent off all this money she did not own. Would the IRS have discovered the softwares mistake and sent her money back? Maybe, but then again they are not required to make sure she did her return correctly unless they think somebody owes them money! She may never have gotten that money back and never know she did not owe all that money.\n\nSo, the bottom line is get good information, be sure of that information, and if you are not sure get online and look up the tax laws for yourself. Use a system you feel sure is going to serve you best for your cercumstances and experiance. The tax laws are very confusing and difficult to understand unless you have education in taxes and finance.\n\nGood luck, this is a great question and will provide others with valuable information through all the answers provided. I wish happiness always.
