Is there a way to claim a tax refund as personal property on schedule B and then as an exemption on schedule C?

The answer to this question depends on State law. Each State has its own exemptions (except for those States which have elected to utilize the federal exemptions), so it depends on what exemptions the State in which you live allows. In Indiana, each person has a $100.00 cash exemption (which is the exemption you have to use for tax refunds in Indiana), so I normally list an anticipated tax refund on Schedule B #17, and then I exempt $100.00 of the amount on Schedule C (per the Indiana cash exemption). The debtor then gets the first $100.00, and the trustee can take the tax refund check over the $100.00 that is exempted. In the case of a joint filing, Indiana allows you to protect $200.00 ($100.00 per debtor). As a practical matter, most trustees in Indiana won't seize a tax refund check even if it is worth more than the $100.00 (or $200.00) exemption if it is less than $1,000.00, since most trustees don't want to bother liquidating anything smaller than $1,000.00. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

What is Form 944 used for?

Form 944 is Employer's ANNUAL Federal Tax Return. Form 944 reports the amount of taxes (income, Social Security, Medicare) withheld from employees' earnings. It's filled out instead of Form 941 (Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return) by the smallest employers. Smallest employers have an annual federal income tax/Social Security/Medicare tax liability of $1,000 or less. Generally, an employer who pays no more than $4,000 in wages subject to withholding is likely to pay no more than $1,000 in these employment taxes. Because of their low employment tax liability, the IRS allows them to pay these taxes only once a year, with Form 944, instead of every quarter, with Form 941.


What do accountants do at small business?

An accountant keeps your books up-to-date and in line with your state's laws and the Federal laws regarding business. A good accountant goes above that by learning your state's laws backward and forward, and using them to enhance your business (including making sure that any garnished employee takes home the full amount that the law allows). A great accountant counsels you when you're about to make a financial mistake.

If you have land that is paid off and you are living there in a camper will you lose the land if you file for bankruptcy?

It's not a question of losing the land. It's a question of whether you are entitled to a homestead exemption. Most states do not recognize a camper as the basis for a homestead. Check your state law to see what it allows for homestead and for state exemption and if you have a choice of federal or state exemptions. Then the problemn is how much the land is worth vs. how much the exemption is.

May I keep my home if I file bankruptcy?

If it has some equity but not more than the exemption, and if you are current on your mortgage payments. It may also depend on your state homestead laws. Bankruptcy is a Federal Court action and has nothing to do with State Homestead Laws! Equity is irrelevant to whether you can keep your house. It may affect whether you want to reaffirm the mortgages or not. Bankruptcy law specifically allows states to require their exemptions. Most states require you to use state exemption laws, including state homestead exemptions. A handful of states allow you to choose federal or state exemption laws.
