Are sin taxes effective?

Governments turn to sin taxes in hard times to raise revenues. However, rather than increasing revenue, the sin tax can reduce it. Governments also try to use sin taxes to discourage "sinful" behaviors. However, the consequences are usually the OPPOSITE of the intent, since they usually make these behaviors more appealing.

What if your employer does not pay your income taxes?

If your employer withholds taxes from your paycheck and does not pay them to the IRS, it is not you problem, nor should you worry in the least. The IRS will give you credit for any amount withheld from your paycheck whether or not they ever recover the amount from your employer. All you need to do is file your tax return as you usually do.If your employer did not withhold taxes or if it did not withhold enough taxes, then you may have a problem with not having enough taxes withheld. Generally, individuals who have this problem come in two categories.The first are those who are considered self-employed or independent contractors for tax purposes. Certain sales representatives and others who perform services for companies do so with the understanding that the employee is a a so-called "1099 contractor." As such, the employee must pay taxes as if he or she owned his own business. If you fall in this category, you need to consult an accountant or the person who prepares your tax returns.The second way enough taxes are not withheld is when the employee prepares his or her IRS Form W-4. This is a form your employer had you complete when you were first hired. You may have changed the form since employment in order to have more or less taxes withheld from your paycheck.If your problem is with not having enough taxes withheld, you should consult your employer's human resources department or you supervisor. You can also obtain assistance from the person who prepares your tax returns, or you can visit your local IRS office. They can assist you in updating your W-4 so that you have the correct amount of taxes withheld. Be certain to take your check stubs so they can see how much taxes you have had withheld for the year. The person who prepares your return or the IRS can help you determine whether you should be considered an independent contractor.See Sources and related links for information.
