Tax Forms

When you buy an investment and then sell it in less than a year, the held longer than one year. Short term gains are taxed at your current federal tax rate and a state tax rate. Long term gains are taxed at 15% for the feds and a state tprofit you've made is called short-term capital gain. Long term capital gain is profit from investments ax(unless you're in the 10% or 15% fed.income tax bracket, then the federal LT gain tax is ZERO in 2008!).

In order to remove penalties and interest on taxes owed you must do two things.

First, for penalty abatement you must submit a request to the IRS requesting that the penalties be abated due to mitigating circumstances beyond your control which prevented you from paying your tax in full, on time. Plus you have to be able to prove your explanation. IRS is very unforgiving in these matters and it takes a good story to get them to respond.

Second, for interest abatement you must submit a request to the IRS proving that the amount of interest charged against you has been a result of their own mistake in handling your account. IRS is very reluctant to ever admit that they make mistakes, so this has to be clear, convincing proof beyond a doubt.

Form 1065, is an IRS form for filing returns for Partnership Firms in the United States, where the partners/owners pay taxes on the firm's incomes. Thus avoiding the double taxation system on C Corporations (Listed Companies like Microsoft and Google)

Form W9 is a request for taxpayer id #, which can be the social security # for an individual or a federal employer id # (FEIN) for a company. It also certifies whether or not you are exempt from backup withholding to the entity that is making payment to you. This form helps clarify your tax status and whether or not you should receive a 1099 Misc for payments made to you for services.

No. Exempt means you rightfully do not need to pay federal income tax. There would be no point in entering allowances.

Tax form 1090 is usually issued from social security or another government agency that you have received money from. It's their version of a W-2.

Yes, you will have to pay taxes on your self employment the first year you are in business, provided of course that you make a net profit under the method of accounting that you choose to use.

If you have a net profit, you will have to at least pay the self-employment (social security) tax due. You may also have to pay income tax on the net profit. This will depend on the amount of taxable income that have, less any allowable credits.

You would be well advised to tally up your income and expenses now to see where you stand so far this year on your tax liability for 2008.

Form 1041 is U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts. Trusts are required to file Form 1041 when (1) its income is at least $600, or (2) it has a nonresident alien as a beneficiary.

But a trust classified as a grantor trust isn't required to file Form 1041 if the individual grantor reports all the grantor trust incomes/allowable expenses on his own Form 1040. For tax purposes, an irrevocable trust is treated as a simple, complex, or grantor trust according to the powers listed in establishing the trust.

Basically, it's a form where you swear and provide your tax id number (either for the business or personal SS#, depending) and say what type of entity, (a person/sole proprietor, corporation, etc) you are. That becomes the information that the requester uses to provide a 1099 or other tax report/form as (or if) required. And as penalties for any side to report wrong information can be severe, if you provide them wrong info...say the wrong SS#, you will be responsible compared to if the reported the number you gave them wrongly, then it's their responsibility. The form is available lots of places on the internet (certainly at www.irs.gov) or by the one asking for it.

There's a box that's checked on Form 1040EZ in line 5 if you're filing your own tax return and your parents are claiming you as a dependent. But you leave the box blank (unchecked) if you're using Form 1040A or Form 1040. On those two forms, it's the box on line 6a and it's stated "If someone can claim you as a dependent, do not check box 6a." The point of indicating on your tax return that your parents are claiming you as a dependent is to make sure that you don't take an exemption for yourself, because your parents are claiming your exemption on their return.

You need good financial records so that you know the price you paid for the stock when you bought it. Otherwise, you don't have firm figures to work out the taxable income or to back up the numbers you come up with. Estimates don't really work--maybe if you pay too much in taxes, you won't get dinged. But, since you are in a business to make money, that doesn't make much sense.

The employer is required to keep one copy for his records and to send one copy to the Social Security Administration, one copy to state/city/local tax department, three copies to the employee (one for the employee's federal return, one for the employee's state return, one for the employee's records).
