What are the advantages of filing 'Married Filing Jointly' over 'Married Filing Separately'?

Also, you can't claim certain things as married filing separately as you can married filing jointly. The advantage is a bigger standard deduction. This is the amount the IRS subtracts from your income for the year. Say, you made $30,000 and your spouse made 36,000. Filing separately you would have only received a combined deduction of say...$6,000. Filing together, with your income combined, you might have a deduction of say $7,000 or more. It's been a while since I've prepared taxes, don't take my word on the exact #'s. HELL NO! It your deduction was 5000 and you paid 25000 in tax that would be 20% if you were married and your deduction was increased to say 10,000 and you AND your spouse paid 50,000 in tax that would be 20% There is no actual striaght benifit. Depends on what you make over all , vs what deductions u each can claim. Kids, COsts etc what you paid in tax etc.

Should a couple who has been married less than six months file taxes separately or jointly if one of them is a student?

Tax laws now treat deductions the same for married as single You can file either jointly or seperately. Certainly many things enter into if one election is better than the other, and not only just which has a lower tax result. However, the most certain way to determine which is better is to simply prepare a return each way...it's really not too difficult to do by hand, but especially with all the computer return software and sites, some of which are available for free, many of which automatically run the test, it isn't hard to do. Off the top, if one of you has a reasonable income, and the other (the student) has little or none, it would seem clearly better to file jointly. The small income person probably actually doesn't have enough income to use up all the personal exemption and deductions they have by themselves, essentially wasting a benefit that could otherwise be used to offset taxable income of the wage earner.

What do you do if you filed your taxes as married filing jointly but you forgot to add your spouse's income and are there any penalties associated with this if your spouse made under 5000?

You will need to file an amended return, and the quicker the better. If it is for a very recent tax year, you may be able to avoid any interest charges. Do not forget you may have to do a similar process for your State. Officially: If you discover an error after your return has been mailed, you may need to amend your return. The service center may correct errors in math on a return and may accept returns with certain forms or schedules left out. In these instances, do not amend your return! However, do file an amended return if any of the following were reported incorrectly: * your filing status * your total income * your deductions or credits Use Form 1040X (PDF), Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to correct a previously filed Form 1040 (PDF), Form 1040A (PDF), or Form 1040EZ (PDF). If you are filing to claim an additional refund, wait until you have received your original refund (you may cash that check). To avoid penalty and interest, if you owe additional tax for a current year amended return, file Form 1040X and pay the tax by April 15 of the current year. Be sure to enter the year of the return you are amending at the top of Form 1040X. The form has three columns. Column A is used to show original or adjusted figures from the original return. Column C is used to show the corrected figures. The difference between the figures in Columns A and C is shown in Column B. There is an area on the back of the form where you explain the specific changes being made on the return and the reason for each change. If the changes involve another schedule or form, attach it to the 1040X. For example, if you are filing a 1040X because you have a qualifying child and now want to claim the Earned Income Credit, you must attach a Form 1040 Schedule EIC (PDF) to show the qualifying person's name, year of birth, and social security number. Generally, to claim a refund, Form 1040X must be received within 3 years from the date you filed your original return or within 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later. If you are filing more than one amended return, be sure to mail each in a separate envelope to the service center for the area in which you live. The Form 1040X Instructions list the addresses for the service centers. Please Note: Your state tax liability may be affected by a change made on your federal return. For information on how to correct your state tax return, contact your state tax agency. IR-2005-3, Jan. 7, 2005 WASHINGTON

What is a w-4?

Use Form W-4 to figure the right amount of federal income tax to have withheld from your paycheck. You may want to review your withholding every year, especially after finishing your tax return. You can have more, or less, income tax withheld from your paycheck. What's a Withholding Allowance? It represents your total tax deductions divided by the personal exemption rate. The withholding allowance is related to, but not the same as, the number of dependents you can claim on your tax return. Learn how to fill one out at: http://taxes.about.com/od/preparingyourtaxes/ht/W4.htm

What information or documentation is needed to file a third party claim for diminished value?

In Florida, magistrates insist that Auto Diminished Value reports are prepared by licensed appraisers (FL Adjusters license) and that said reports contain actual dealer quotes showing their opinions of the loss of value. St. Lucie Appraisal in Fort Pierce obtains six dealer quotes. Some national companies obtain none. Make sure your appraiser doesn't rely on formulas. To determine the correct diminished value percentage the appraiser has to put in the time to do it right.

In general, late-model cars that were repaired experience a 15-20% loss of value. Some exotics and SUVs are impacted considerably more.

Should a 17-year-old student who lives at home file taxes on his own or with his parents?

Under tax law, as a student living at home, you are your parents' dependent for income tax purposes regardless of your income.

Therefore, you are their dependent and they will get that exemption. You, however, can file your tax return and, assuming you have earned income (from a job) that you had income taxes withheld on, you will receive a refund. If you made less than the standard deduction for a single person, you will get all of your taxes withheld refunded to you.

You must file a return if you had over just the minimum amount of income, regardless of your age. Read the discussions on that topic - who must file - here or at IRS.gov.

Regardless of it you must, generally, especially if you have a very small income, even if it isn't required for you to file, it will be beneficial, so you should. (And obviously if you worked and received a W-2 so you had tax or such withheld, you want to file to get the refund!)

If you are claimed as a dependent by someone else, you cannot claim the exemption for yourself too. And in fact, then the others (who presumably have a higher tax bracket than you), will probably have to pay (or you would have to pay) at the higher bracket.

When filing married will it affect your return?

You can check with www.IRS.gov, but it will affect your return. You get better tax bracket treatment and can have higher standard deductions, contributions to various retirement accounts, etc. Filing married has many, many tax advantages!

Can hospital judgments in the US take your income tax return?

In some cases, yes. If the hospital is affiliated with the federal government (ie, a VA facility) your federal tax refund may be offset for any outstanding medical debt. In some states, a state or county owned facility may offset refunds issued from state tax returns. Also money owed on state run programs such as Medicaid and food stamps can be used as offsets on state refunds.

Generally, however, if none of the above apply, the only way a hospital can obtain your tax refunds is to get a court order to attach the bank account where the refund is deposited. In that way, they can intercept any funds deposited into that account and apply it towards outstanding debt, but they cannot directly offset the return.

If a couple were married in St Lucia but did not file the license in their home state of Wisconsin are they legally married?

I am not a legal expert, but I always understood that the UK respected marriages legally made in other countries. Thus if the marriage was conducted legally in St Lucia and all the documentation is filed properly in St. Lucia and you have the St. Lucia marriage certificate, I would expect that the marriage would be upheld by the UK.

Which form is used to report wages and federal unemployement tax liability?

Income from unemployment is reported on your individual income tax return (Federal Form 1040). If you want/need to pay in towards what you expect to owe in federal income taxes on your unemployment income during the year, you can make estimated income tax payments on Forms 1040-ES. You do need to put your social security number, tax form number and tax year on your check, but you do not need to tell tham that it is for taxes on unemployment income. Do be careful to avoid penalties and interest for underpayment of taxes as the IRS generally prefers to get paid throughout the year, just as the rest of us do.
