Does an adult child have to claim a 60000 gift from their parents on their taxes?

IRS Tax Tip 2006-14 If you gave any one person gifts in 2005 that valued at more than $11,000, you must report the total gifts to the Internal Revenue Service and may have to pay tax on the gifts. * ** *** **** The person who receives your gift does not have to report the gift to the IRS or pay gift or income tax on its value.**** Gifts include money and property, including the use of property without expecting to receive something of equal value in return. If you sell something at less than its value or make an interest-free or reduced-interest loan, you may be making a gift. There are some exceptions to the tax rules on gifts. The following gifts do not count against the annual limit: � Tuition or Medical Expenses that you pay directly to an educational or medical institution for someone's benefit � Gifts to your Spouse � Gifts to a Political Organization for its use � Gifts to Charities If you are married, both you and your spouse can give separate gifts of up to the annual limit to the same person without making a taxable gift. Annual Exclusion A separate annual exclusion applies to each person to whom you make a gift. For 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the annual exclusion is $11,000. Therefore, you generally can give up to $11,000 each to any number of people in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and $12,000 in 2006 and none of the gifts will be taxable. If you are married, both you and your spouse can separately give up to $11,000 to the same person in 2002, 2003, 2004 or 2005 ($12,000 in 2006) without making a taxable gift. If one of you gives more than $11,000/$12,000 to a person in any one of these years, refer to gift splitting in Publication 950, Introduction to Estate and Gift Taxes. Gifts to individuals are not deductible on the donor's income tax returns.

Can an illegal alien be deported for not paying court ordered child support?

Sadly, probably not. Good luck to finding them when that day comes. Who knows how many different names they own. Illegal Immigrants have it made here in the US. We do everything and anything to protect them. I know women who have been fooled by some and end up having a child with them. Do you think any of these women see child support?? Hell No!!! our system is a joke. What needs to be done is- our boarders need to bulk up and do a better job. If you want to be here legally, then take the proper steps. Stop jumping fences, swimming across oceans, and entering illegally.

How long does it take to receive a tax intercept for child support?

This depends on the state in which you live. I live in Indiana, and once the tax money has been received by the child support central collection unit for my state, they hold it 29 days from the day that they received it This is so the noncustodial has an opoortunity to fight the interception. Ive been dealing with this for years and I not once ever had the noncustodial fight the tax intercept. Then, the state takes $25 from the tax money owed to hold the money.

Call your prosecutors office in the county that your case is in and they should be able to tell you more information on holding times.

It can take up to six weeks from the time the refund is intercepted to the time it posts to the central collection unit. You have no legal means to get that money sooner.

Be prepared to wait a long time.

If you are 16 and want to have a baby with your 18 year old boyfirend,it all depends, if your parents are understanding and if your boyfriend is willing to help you out, then your parents won't do anything. Note: In most states Your Parents can have the man arrested on charges of statutory Rape. So be very careful - especially if you want to spend the rest of your life with this guy. Spending the rest of his life with a conviction for a felony and having to regester as a sex offender should be all of the birth control reminder he needs. and remember - You have absolutely NO say in this. If your parents Choose to press charges, and there is proof (ie a DNA test) then he is just gonna get the crewin he gets for the screwin he got.

At what age is it appropriate to stop bathing with your child?

Never! always wash your child!!!!! or else they become dirty If either the child, the father, or the mother is uncomfortable with the situation then the bathing should stop immediately. I would advise by about age 7-8 that the little girl is supervised by the mother only. By that age, the little girl will feel "weird" about the situation but probably wont say anything. To be totally sure the mother or someone who is close to the child shold talk to her and get her opinion on it.

If the father was paying you directly, the payments will, of course, cease. If this is the case you must contact the state for assistance.

Can an adult child sue his or her parents for money that was in a will for the child but the parents stole it?

Depends upon a number of factors. Was the child a minor when the will was executed? If so, probably not. And what was the amount? Hardley worth it for a few thousand dollars. What was the wording of the will? That can make a difference about how the money could be used. Consult an attorney, but I'd be thinking twice about suing my own parents, most juries aren't going to like someone suing their folks.

How does a minor become emancipated?

First, you have to be at least 16. You file a petition with the court. Your parents/guardian receive a copy of the petition and a summons to appear at the hearing. Once the hearing is held, the court can issue an emancipation order if it's determined that emancipation is in your best interests and you have demonstrated the ability to manage your financial affairs, including proof of employment or other means of support (can not be public assistance) and have provided proof of housing. Even if the court grants the order, your parents can appeal it. And the emancipation order can be rescinded if your circumstances change (ie you become homeless or lose your means of support)

That's a very brief summary of the process--there's actually much more involved than that.
