What Federal Tax forms do you file as a small business owner?
In regard to payroll taxes, a small business files IRS forms 940 and 941 weekly, monthly and/or quarterly, depending on the amount of your payroll. You would also file annual W-2's and a W-3. In regard to income taxes, it depends on the nature of the business entity. If you were operating as an individual, you could report your business income and expenses on Schedule C of your personal tax return. For farming operations, you would use Schedule F. If you were considered self-employed, you might also have to file Schedule SE. If the business is incorporated, you would file a form 1120. If the corporation filed for Subchapter S status, where the profit or loss flows through to your personal return, you would file an 1120S (and a Schedule K with your personal return). Schedule E of your personal return is for Supplemental Income, and there could be a number of other supporting forms that you are also required to file.

Where can you download or get a copy of W-2 FOR 2007?
usgov.com Alternative answer: First off, usgov.com is not a government web site. It is an Internet catch-all site that will direct you to advertising for porn sites and people offering to do things for you …..For a price! Pure hype! …..Now, for the real answer. You can do one of two things, (well, three things if you count not throwing away ore losing the original!) First, try to contact your employer and ask them for a re-print of your W-2. Most employers are happy to provide you with a copy. Second, if the employer can't, won't, or otherwise, doesn't provide you with a re-print, Contact the IRS at www.irs.gov, (there is a phone number posted to talk to a live person) and request the tax filing information for your social security number. They will ask you for a current address, (the one listed with your employer) to verify you are who you say you are, and they will mail you out the form. It will be a page, (or two or three dependant on how many employers you had) and this page can be used in the absence of the original W-2 to file. This method takes 2-6 weeks, so be prepared for a wait. Because of security, there are no locations where you can "download" a W-2. This is secure information and falls under the "Privacy Act".

How much do you have to make in order to file taxes?
REFER to the link to get more info or publications noted;
Whether you have to file a tax return depends, in part, on your filing status, age, and gross income. Please refer to the "Do You Have to File" section of the Form 1040 Instructions, Form 1040A Instructions, and Form 1040EZ Instructions to determine if you are required to file a tax return. You must file a tax return if you had net earnings from self-employment of $400 or more. This is your total self-employment income less the expenses paid in operating your trade or business, multiplied by 92.35%. For more details, refer to Topic 554, Self-Employment Tax. If you are an individual who may be claimed as a dependent on another person's return, you are subject to specific filing requirements. Refer to the instructions in your tax package or refer to Publication 929, Tax Rules for Children and Dependents, or Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information, for the filing requirements for dependents. You must file a tax return if you received any amount of advance earned income credit payments from your employer during the year, or if you owe any taxes, such as: * social security tax and Medicare tax on tips or group life insurance, * alternative minimum tax, * tax on qualified retirement plans including an Individual Retirement Account, or other tax-favored account, * tax from recapture of an education credit, investment credit, low income housing credit, federal mortgage subsidy, qualified electric vehicle credit, or the native American employment credit. Special filing requirements may apply to U.S. citizens who are residents of Puerto Rico or who have income from U.S. possessions. Refer to Publication 570 for additional information. Residents of Puerto Rico should select Topic 901. Generally, you must file a tax return if you are a nonresident alien with income from sources in the United States. For more information on nonresident aliens, select Topic 851. Even if you are not required to file a tax return, file a return if you are due a refund, because tax was withheld from any earnings..... AND BECAUSE MANY, LOW INCOME PEOPLE HAVE MANY BENEFITS COMING.If you did not file a return for a previous year and you were required to do so, refer to Topic 153. If you need help determining which form to file, refer to Topic 352.
How much tax you pay or have taken out depends on many, many things...not the least of which is what you consider tax. Many people group all their withholdings/reductions as a type of tax, but many may not be. Workers Comp, Unemployment, even FICA are all really more an insurance payment than a withholding against an income tax. And many must be paid either way, if your an employee or if your the proprietor.
The amount of tax you get back (or additional owed) depends on how much you paid in by estimated payments (if you didn't have payroll withholding, which is in itself, just a way to make estimated payments on what you may ultimately pay). And you must make estimated payments through the year (basically quarterly, the last one for 2007 is due today, 1/15/08) if your above some very low income limits, or you will pay substantial penalties and interest.
The amount of tax withheld or eventually paid also depends on other things...obviously which state (or even city) your in, the amount of income your projected on earning over the year, (which helps determine your tax bracket and the percent that may be needed), as well as your filing status, number of dependents and other deductions (like interest paid on a home, charity, medical expenses, etc). For withholding, all these things can be adjusted for your circumstances by properly and completely filling out (or changing) the Form W-4 all employers ask you to, and then properly reporting them on your 1040.
Finally, there are a number of different legal ways for the payroll provider to calculate certain aspects of the amount to withhold...but overall they make only a small difference. Remember, anything withheld is just being done as an estimated installment payment toward whatever tax, if any, you do ultimately owe. If too much is withheld, it is refunded. (Too little, and you could pay a penalty). Again, adjusting your W-4 is the way to correct for any of these circumstances. Obviously, with all the variables, everyone, even two similarpeople working in identicle jobs, will pay different taxes...and that is why each person needs to figure their return and file it. Which can be done for free at www.irs.gove and following the links.
Simply complete a from 1040X...a very easy form...and submit it.

What happens if you didn't file for previous w-2 and the one for this year?
You mean you do file a return Form 1040 but don't include the info on a W-2 in it?
Well, the IRS has the other side of the W-2 and already knows about it. (A W-2 or 1099 only tells you what others have reported!). The computers do a pretty good job of matching these things, and the ommission will likely be picked up sooner or later.
But more importantly, if you were paid on a W-2, the income on it was reported, and all the tax withheld, income tax, FICA contributions, etc, were reported and recorded already..and credited to your account. Because of the way it is calculated, the amount that was withheld from the pay and turned over by the employer is (almost always) more than actually needed, and that is why when you file the return (Form 1040), and calculate what the tax really should be, most people get a refund....the overpayment back. (The fact that the IRS can see that the income was made and likely overpaid on by withholding, may be a reason they aren't all that concerned about speaking to you about it). These are very basic concepts...and I don't want to sound mean...but my regular experience with people who haven't complied with them...generally because they don't understand or thought they were getting away with something is....they actually had a benefit...a refund or other tax credit available to them they were missing out on! Sometimes, substantial. Hopefully everyone is smart enough to appreciate that, people who really don't understand even the most basic parts of the system, wouldn't even dare trying to think they could outsmart it - especially by doing things that make it easier for them and are available to anyone type actions.
Can you file as a tax deduction the deposit lost on a cancelled contract with a homebuilder?
The best you could hope for would be that you could capitalize the lost deposit as part of the cost of acquiring whatever new home you did purchase/build. If you decided that it was not worth the risk/cost of buying/building a new home, then the lost deposit it just that - lost, with no deductibility. It could, however, be rationalized as part of the cost (basis) of whatever home you did acquire (presuming you did). Otherwise, it's as deductible as a lease-purchase option should you decide not to exercise the purchase option - not deductible. Sorry.

How do you know the order your forms should be in when submitting your tax forms?
The forms are submitted with the primary return first, then each supporting form is attached numerically by the "attachment sequence number" which is noted at the top of the form.
Donations to qualifed charities are tax deductible, (within certain limits, probably not applicable here). But the one receiving it MUST be a QUALIFIED (normally under Sect 501 of the IRC) organization. The pastor can tell you if they are and provide you the paperwork you would need to support the deduction...if they are. If he can't provide the right documents...thats probably because they never actually got qualified and there are no controls over what will happen to the money you contribute. Note: The pastor, just by being a Pastor, is not a qualified recepient. I'm not sure what you mean by "see them receive"...a direct contribution to any charity shouldn't have any "collection" or promotion fee involved.
What is the formula for gross income?
The IRS defines gross income as the total of earned income plus unearned income. Earned income includes salaries, wages, tips, and professional fees. Unearned income includes taxable interest, ordinary dividends, capital gain distributions, unemployment compensation, taxable social security benefits, etc.
For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 525 (Taxable and Nontaxable Income).
